Respectfully,

The engineer, Sam Davis, who dis
played such heroic self devotion on the
G. x n. ". Il. r., is receiving well mer-
tied enlogiums from the press of the
state. His indeed was a brave act and
the manned hero can not be too highly
praised. The Oshkosh NOrthwester1
says of him:
There is phase in this case which de-
serves more than a passing notice, and
that is the heroic conduct of the enpin-
eer. 1t is told in story and we read in
print OF the valorous deeds of locomotive
engineers IN time of danger, but we sell
dom see 1t exemplified i'll our midst.
Here was true case of heroism, and in
preference to saving his own life. he did
the only thing in his power to save 9th
ers-he pulled his brakes, reversed his
engine, stuck to his post and went down
with his engine. Several wears AGO
while hauling freight train, he Jumped
from his engine thus saving his life, but
mere was passenger train, and human
lives were at stake. Discretion was an
admirable element in his valor.

LAST week an attempt at incendiarism
was frustrated by the city marshal. A
saloon on the south side, kept by August
Hartung, has stairway on the outside
leading to an upper room where Har-
tungs family reside. a lot of combus-
tible material saturated with kerosene
was placed under the stairway and fred.
Before the fire had gained much Roadway
it was extinguished by persons who were
in the saloon at the time. Had the fire
gained much Roadway it would have been
extreI ely difficult for the persons oc-
cupying the upper floor to escape as the
only means of egress was by the burning
