 Lewellen was caught between the engine and water tank when he started to leave the cab and was crushed to death.
 The engine had "cut loose" from the string of cars at Forrest City, and gone to the water tank for water. It is said that the track was in bad state of repair, causing the engine to turn over. Both the engineer and the foreman started to jump when they saw the engine turning over. Finley's foot was caught and he was held temporari- ly in the cab. At the same time a steam pipe burst, and shot steam and scalding water upon him. It is believed he will recover.

THE IMPENDING STORM

Profiteering may yet be the undo ing of our country. No nation is ever greater than the government it maintains, and if the govern ment does not conserve the interests of the people the people in time lose confidence in that form of govern ment.
 The greatest crime in the his tory of our country is that of prof iteering, wholesale and deliberate robbery of helpless public.
 Prices have been artificially forced to such high altitude that it is be- coming more and more difficult for a poor person to even sustain life.
 The law of supply and demand no longer prevails. It has been substituted by one of gouge annd grab.
 Already many people, men and women of sound and patriotic prin- ciples, are predicting revolution as the only means of checking wholesale and lawless thievery.
 Our government should take warn ing while there is yet time. Pro- tection of profiteering should cease at once, and prosecution should be swift and relentless.
 We cannot afford to have our great country wrecked upon the rock of greed and avarice. And yet to- day, because of supine inactivi- ty of our public officials, we are heading straight toward destruc- tion.
 Public endurance is at the break ing point. Revolution is lowering
 The government should heed the impending storm before it is too late to prepare to meet it.
