ON BANANA FARM

Frank L. Harris. OF this city. son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Harris. s17
West Twenty eighth street, who Is at
present a supervisor on a banana
plantation at Tella, in Honduras,
Central America, has written a let
ter to his parents and friends tell
ing them Of some OF his experiences
on the plantation. Although young
!, Harris has been on the plantation
lonly about two weeks he has had
lsome exciting experiences. Some Of
Ilhis experiences sound like the do
! ings OF II. c.. Henty's characters on
trips OF adventure in the old bucca-
neer and frontier days.
In his two weeks experience as a
supervisor on the plantation. Harris
has seen man shot down in a fight.
Sand another workman lose a leg un-
1der a moving train. This happen
ed in one day.
! Harris in the letter dated April
writes as follows:
Last Monday was pay day and
Mr.. Forbes and Mr. Bosten. (two
= other supervisors. there being only
Athree white men on the plantation
with Harris) both went 70 Tella az
moo nand left me here alone. They

ing. Well the natives never work
on pay day. but proceed 10 get
: drunk. BY noon on Monday they

1were bowling like mad dogs down

~ guns. The camp Is about two city
blocks from where we live Well 20
start things of one OF them got on
he train In front OF the house and
jumped Off at the camp. He was
drunk and fell under the train
which cut his leg off.
The next thing happened about
o'clock in the afternoon. I heard
i two shots and pretty soon four
Spies. (lower class Spaniards)
came running up to the house yell
ing and talking. Well I understand
quite a little Spanish by now and
finally made out that a couple OF
them had a quarrel and that one OF
them shot the other. 1 think

Captain Oman Testlfies That Woman

Edith In Bermuda.

New York-A story Of liquor SNUG.

JUSTICE CLARK IS !
HURT IN wreck
:!
FEARED FOR SOME TIME THAT
SKULL HAD BEEN FRAc. {;
1URED. .
k.RAY EXAMINATION IS MADE
soiap Wound Misses Justices Brain
by Little More Than Hairs
Breadth.

Raleigh, N. C.-While not seriously
hurt, as examinations revealed, Chief
Justice Walter Clarks escape from
possible fatal injuries in the automo-
bile accident near Carthage was al.
most miraculous, according to an &C.
count Of the mishap by his son, John
Clark.
A scalp wound missed the chief Jus
tice's brain by scarcely hairs
breadth. and physicians making an
examination at Rex hospital consid.
cred that its penetration for frac.
uon Of an inch deeper would have
caused instant death.
An x-ray examination was made to
make certain the extent Of his inju.
r1es. Judge Clark was able to 60
home after the examination.
According to the account given by
friends of John Clark. the steering
wheel locked, swervins the wheels
and throwing the car down an en-
bankment Justice Clark was thrown
from the rear seat through the wind
shield. Ee sustained number OF
slight bruises and cuts about the
head in addition to the deeper wound.
Mrs. John Clark sustained a deep
cut In the tongue, making 1t neces-
sary for her to take nourishment
through tube, otherwise she was not
seriously hurt. Her husbands inju-
ries consisted Of bruises and cuts.
The accident is the second narrow
escape for the chief Justice. Friends
recall that some nine years ago only
q rare presence Of mind saved him
from asphixlation by gas.
An open Jet in a closed room fur.
nished flow of gas in room In
the Clark house in which Justice Clark
was caught unawares. Judge Clark
was almost suffocated when he finally
succeeded In cutting the connection
and reaching a window.
Judge Clark's advanced age made
his escape from more serious injury
the more remarkable, IN the opinion OF
friends. He Is 70.
He and his son and daughter-in'
law were returning to Raleigh after
tour of the western part Of the
state.
