Fell From Bridge and Drowned.
Searcy, Nov. 29—En route to
the home of his sweetheart,
whom he was to have wed to
day, Monroe Lewis of Weldon,
last night fell from the Iron
Mountain bridge spanning Red
river, near Judsonia, and was
drowned. The body was sent to
Weldon for burial.
Lewis had been in Judsonia
and a short time before he left
to walk to the home of his fian
cee, who lives about three miles
from Judsonia, he told friends
that he was to be married. His
body was found in the river this
morning. A coroner’s jurv re
turned a verdict of accidenta
death by drowning.
The structure is a railroad
bridge and has no railing along
the sides for pedestrians and it
is believed that Lewis lost i
■ ^balance and fell into tne liver

Governor Hays Mud Bound.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 29.— Not
water bound, but mud bound,
Governor G. W. Hays remains
on the Arkansas State Farm at
Cummins and indications are he
will not be rescued before Mon
day.
The State Farm is situated on
the Arkansas river, five miles
from the railroad at Varner. It
is reached via bottom road,
which had already been badly
cut by the heavy wagons which
hauled the cotton to the rail

past few days put the finishing
touches to this thoroughfare,
and it is almost impossible to
get a vehicle over it. The ani
mals pulling vehicles sink to
their stomach, and make travel
ing so slow that Governor Hays
decided he would rather wait
until enough rain fell to per
mit his getting out by boat, or
the weather turned cold enough
to freeze the road.
