An enforced voyage Of more than
loo miles down the raging Rio Grande
On top of the roof of house was the
thrilling experience which befell Long
orio VasGuez during the recent flood
of the International boundary stream.
Vazquez was asleep in the. little hut,
where he hade his home few miles
above Eagle Pass when the rising
waters awakened him and he found
that escape was cut off without risk
ing his life by swimming across the
strong current. He took refuge on
TOP of the house and when the build
ing was swept away he clung to the
roof. For more than ten hours he was
carried downstream. 1t was not until
he reached Laredo that the roCf was
carried near enough to the bank or
the river to give hin an opportunity
to- lump into the water and swim
ashore. He was little worse off for his
strenuous experience. He said that all
along the route he saw evidences or
great destruction h"ving been wrought
by the river. In pla, IS the water was
spread out over the lowlands for a
width Of several miles on each side of
the main channel.
- Sheriff H. H. Duval, of Wellsburg.
Pa, and several others were killed in a
bloody fight between the officers of
the law and union coal miners in con-
nection with an attack by union miners
on the non-union mine at Cliftonville,
in West Virginia, close to the Pennsyl-
vania fne last Monday. The sheriff
had information that men were coming
across from Pennsylvania to attack
the mine, which was being operated by
non union labor; but without mine
guards 1t is estimated that the at
tacking force consisted of about 300 or
400 men. The sheriff had force of
20 men, including his son ar i other
regular deputies. The attac' ers blew
up the mine with dynamite nd set the
tipple on fire. The sheriff attacked the
mob and drove it before him; but was
cIn onn a
mand and continued the fight Several
members Of the mob were killed and
wounded and q number were captured.
The county court elected Thomas H.
Duval the son TO be sheriff to succeed
his father. Both West Virginia and
Pennsylvania sent troops to the scene
to help preserve, order.
Lost: One speech in defense of the
claim that Andrew Jackson was born
in North Cardinal Representative
William F. Stevenson of South Caro-
lima, muddied the water in a speech
in the house. writes H. E. C. Bryant,
Washington correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer. He said that "Old
Hickory" was born in South Carolina,
and Representative William G. Ham,
mer, who represents Union county in
congress, was going to give him
DTUlQSluS III reply, out lOr some red-
son the answer never came. During
the closing days of the house Repre-
sentative Washington Jay Mccormick
of Montana, interrupted Represen-
tative H. S. Ward, North Cardinals
spread -eagle" orator, to ask Where
was Andrew Jackson born?" 1t is con-
ceded that Representative Stevenson
got away with a big contention for the
Palmetto state. Some people who be-
lieye that Jackson was born in Union
county, North Carolina and not in
Sou, , Carolina. are very unhappy over
the unanswerable charge of the gen.
tleman from Cheraw. This question of
Jaekson's birthplace may become
live issue for Mr. Hammer. II is one
already in some minds. Mr.. Hammer
said he would make reply when he got
nllsthe facts together. He wanted to
be accurate. 1t may be that he will
return with bucket full of argument
after the recess, but ] 900 eyes are on
him. and 1000 ears are listening for
him.
