There is something wr ong some

been done long ago.
spot where there was an over
flow.
The streets of New Orleans
! were flooded as never before in
' the city’sj history. In the Caroll-
ton section, in the, upper part of
the city, the water was six to
seven inches deep on the side
walks. In the downtown busi
ness section Canal street and all
intersecting streets were flooded
over the sidewalks and the water
entered stores on a number of
streets.
There was such a strong cur
rent in some of the city’s streets,
due to the excessive rainfall,
that many pvople feared there
been \n overflow from the
river.
At midi light the rainfall was
not ht? av v but many of the streets
\vere stiii flooded to a depth of
SIX to eight inches.
From reports obtainable to
night the storm swept across the
state from near Shreveport mov
ing southeast, struck the Miss
issippi rivQr near the Morganza
bend and continued down the
river past New Orleans,
Hurricane Whips Flood Waters of
The Mississippi Into Fury,
New Orleans, La., May 10.—
New Orleans tonight withstood
the severest rain storm in her
history. All of the lower half of
Louisania was affected and thous
ands of the people who live be
hind the already terribly strained
levees that hold back the Miss
issippi’s flood waters are pan-
iky.
The wind ranged from 17 miles
an hour at New Orleans to 40
miles at Baton Ro^e, and at
many points along the river it
swept the waves of the swollen
stream over the levees.
At New Orleans 5 1-2 inched of
rain fell from noon until 10:00 to
night and about four inches fell
between 7 and 9 o’clock. The
Mississippi river here was bank
ed up by the high winds and
rose 8 inches in two hours, be
tween 8 and 10 o’clock tonight,
forcing the waters over the lev
ees at several points.
At 10 o’clock the river gauge
at the Canal street registered 21 9
feet or one-tenth of a foot high
er than the preeicted maximum
stage prfcdicted by the weather
bereau. At 11 o’clock the gauge
showed a drop of one-tenth of
a foot for the hour, but the rain
continued to pour down in tor
rents at intervels. |
iJozens of messages poured in
to the office of the United States
arrny engineers here telling of
rumored breaks in the levees a-
hove New Orleans. None of
them had been verified up to mid
•^ight, although little hope was
expressed of saving the levee at
Baton Rouge, and at Morganza,
^icotts Landing, Donaldsonville
&nd Plaquemine, the situation
declared to be critical.
At 9 o’clock Superintendent
Percall, of the Tezas and Pacific
i'ailroad, ordered two relief trains
made ready to send to Donald
son and Plaquemine but the or
ders were countermanded a few
minutes Uter when it was estab-
hshed that reports of breaks in
ievees near these cities were not
true.
Thirty-five thousand sand bags
were dispatched from New Or-
•fians to Baton Rogue on a spec
ial train tonight. The situation
'■'•as declaree most critical at the
capital city with prospects of
saving the front levee almost
hopeless.
At New Orleans the water

Dramatic Touch Is
Added To Trial Of
One Of Allen Gang
Wythevillev Va., May 9. —“Fm
dying, I’m dying. Sid Alien did
it.”
Judge Massie’s words as he
fell mortally wounded during
the pistol battle that killed four
others in the Hilsville courthouse
on March 14, were repeated to
day at the trial of Floyd Allen,
one of the gang charged with
five murders.
Daniel Thomas, a sturdy
countryman who was first to
reach the dying judge detailed
the scene and the fight. When
he repeated Judge Massie’s word
his eyes filled with tears and he
gave way to his emotions. ‘ ‘Sid’ ’
Allen never has been captured.
One other incident though it
occurred outside the coui*troom,
touched the day’* proceedings
with the dramatic. Campbell
Crowder, a fried of the Allens,
was talking with some witnesses
on the courthouse green when he
exclaimed;
“I hope the Allen's will shoot
up this court worse than the one
at Hilsville.”
Crowder was immediately
taken before Judge Staples who
told him that any more such talk
would mean a term in jail. The
man had been drinking, but the
incident served as a reminder
that the Allen gang is not with
out friends.
The defense continued today
its plan of building up evidence
to disprove the prosecution’s
charge that the Allens hatched
a conspiracy to shoot up the Hlls-
ville court and came prepared to
do the work. It has been alleged
that they even wore metal breast
plate to protect them against the
fire of the defenders.
Jack Allen, kinsman of all the
gang, denied on the stand today
that he had taken a steel breast
plate frpm his brother Floyd be
fore detectives had arrested him.
Jack Allen resented the sharp
cross-examination to which the
prosecution forced him to submit.
Other testimony intended to
favor Allen seemed to be shaken
on cross-examination. Witness
es were sworn to testify that the
flrst shooting came from the
court officers. One of these how
ever, admitted that the first two
shots'came from where he had
seen Sidna and Claude Allen
standing. Five man of Carroll
county swore that prior to the
shooting they had heard no ill of
any of the Allens. Floyd Allen
was on trial for a felony when
the shooting took place.
Employes of a restaurant testi
fied that when the courthouse
bell rung on the day of the
the shooting, Weslev Edwards
and Friel Allen left their break
fasts and hurried into the court
where Allan’s jury was ready to
return a verdict against their
kinsman. Some discrepanciet
were developed as to that.

Freeman, of this place, says;
“Before I commenced to take
C^rdui, I suffered so much from
womanly trouble, I was so weak
that I was down on my back
nearly all the time. Cfeirdui has
done me more good than_ any
medicine I ever took in my life.”
You need not be afraid to take
Cardui. It is no new experiment.
Composed of gentle-acting, herb

safely relieve headache, backache

Elroy, in a letter from Clinton,
writesFor six years, I was a
sufferer from female troubles. I
could hot eat, and could not stand
on my feet, without suffering
great pain. I had lost hope. After
using Cardui a week, I began to
improve. Now I feel better than
in six jrears.” Fifty years of
success in actual practice, is
positive proof, furnished by those
who have used it, that Cardui
can always l>e relied on for re
lieving feniale weakness and
disease. Try Cardui, today, now!

**You are welcome,” says Mrs. Nora Guffey, of Broken
Arrow, Okla., "to use my letter in any way you want to,
if it will induce some suffering woman to try Cardui. I had
pains all over, and suffered with an abscess. Tlu-ee phy
sicians failed to relieve me. Since taking Cardui, I am in
bdter health than ever before, and that means much to me,
because I suffered many years with womanly troubles, of
different kinds. What other treatment 1 tried, helped me
for a few days only.”
