Lakewood Lake Storm Sweeps Boats to Gulf
A severe storm last Thursday flooded Lakewood, lifting the lake level and sending boats over a dam into a fast river. Nineteen boats were lost, some likely crushed or carried to the South river and possibly to the Chattahoochee and Gulf. Damages to the park and bath houses are estimated above $1,000. The dam on the east side failed, and sewer runoff swollen the lake until repairs restore safety.

Many Arrests Made for Attack on King in Rome
Rome, March 27. Several arrests tied to the attempt on King Victor Emmanuel last week. Among the prisoners is Nicolas Tadleo, a Roumanian, named in government reports as connected to a plot to kill the King, Premier Giolitti, and Foreign Minister Giuliano. Tachivo was arrested in Rome. Antonio Dalba, who fired at the King, was questioned again and admitted target practice. He insisted he acted alone. Some say Dalba’s mind may be affected by the Turco Italian war.
