FATHER AND 4S0NS
 DROWN IN GREEK
Only Mother and Babe Escape When Farmer Drives In-
 to Swollen Stream

Bonneville, June 19.-J. A. Nichols, a farmer of Logan county, and his four sons were drowned at 9 o'clock Sunday night when the wagon in which they were riding overturned i'll Petit Jean creek at Miles Ford near Bonneville.
 Mrs. Nichols and the young est member of the family, a babe in arms, escaped by a miracle.
 The Nichols family had spent the day with friends at Boone vile. A cloudburst in that vi- cinity late Sunday afternoon had converted the Petit Jean ordinarily a small stream, and rot considered dangerous, into q raging torrent. The family had crossed at Miles Ford ear Her in the day and found the stream merely a creek. Re- turning at night, Nichols in the darkness could not see that the stream had become danger ous.
 In midstream the wagon was overturned and the whole fami- ly thrown out. Nichols and his four boys were drowned.
 Mrs. Nichols, with her baby elapsed in her arms, caught hold of the branch of tree when she drifted near the bank. Fearing she might be- come unconscious and loose her hold, she tied the child to the tree limb with her shawl.
 It was more than two hours before her frantic cries for help were heard and she and her baby were rescued.
 Searching parties from Bonneville began dragging the Petit Jean at daylight this morning. The body of Nichols and two of the children were recovered this morning.

Bald Knob Association Fur nishes Report of Past Sea-

Bald Knob, June 17.-The final returns for the 1922 ship ping season have been received, and secretary E. R. Wynn of the Bald Knob Fruit Growers Association has compiled the figures covering the strawberry crop handled by the largest association i'll the White coun- ty district.
 The association shipped total of 56, ,050 cases in 133 cars besides some local express business at the start of the
 As the association shipped the first and last car out of the district during the 1922 season, the net average price received per crate, $2.32 covers the en- tire range of the selling period. This price also covers all grades and varieties of strawberries handled during the 1922 sea- son, which proved very unsatis- factory to the growers because of local weather conditions and the fact that a backward spring held up the Louisiana shipments until about the time White county growers reached the market. This is the best av- craze price attained by any association in the district.
