THREE OUT OF
SEVEN DROWN

Last Sunday morning at about 200
O'Clock, at the "Lady's Bluff" just be-
low Mousetail landing, on Tennessee
river, large gasoline boat belonging
to Sam Burton, who has a store and
landing about two miles below Per-
ryville, was destroyed by the "back-
firing" of the engine and ignition Of
gasoline which was leaking in a pan
and from which the flames spread.
The boat was carrying seven persons,
and of the seven three were drowned
George Rhodes, who was in the
rafting business with Sam Burton,
and two other men, named Stewart
and Doyle who lived at points fur
ther down the river.
1t is said that the men who were
drowned might have been saved had
they jumped from the other side Of
the gasoline boat, as did the four WHO
escaped, the last named side of the
boat being much nearer to shore.
George Rhodes married half sis
ter of County Register John L. Sui
livan, who went to Perryville Monday
and returned Tuesday. A message
came to Mr.. Sullivan Tuesday that
the bodies of the three who were
drowned had been found at points
considerably below the scene of the
accident. Those saved were Doyle's
father, George Rhodes brother and
son and son of Sam Burton.
The men running the boat and the
passengers on it, jumped from it
sooner than they would have other
wise done, because of the fact that it
carried a quality of gasoline.

the creature took a short walk round
