COL. HARDIN'S CLOSE CALL

Colonel Ben Lee Hardin, of Har-

marvellous escape from death Sunday
while returning home after church.
He had reached the town creek which
he attempted to cross. 1t was pitch
dark and Colonel Hardin could not see
six inches. He thought he was on the
bridge, but was too far to one side
on the stone supports. As he stumbl-
ed along in the dark one of the rocks
turned and he was pitched headlong
into the roaring waters. He was car
rying am umbrella and sack of ba-
nanas. Before he could steady him
self Mr.. Hardin was washed down the
creek at a dizzy pace and swept up
der the big bridge. He fought madly
in the dark waters and finally scramb-
led to the bank. He found that he
was uninjured and had saved his hat
in his struggle for safety, but had
lost his other packages.
