Thrilling Adventure Of two Young
C~hcyenneites.

hile TWO OF our best known society
Young men were out for an airing behind
a span Of spanking bays carly yesterday
afternoon, they met with a thrilling ex-
perience. the recollection Of which will
linger in their memory for years to come.
On rising the brow of the hill at tho
head Of Sixteenth street, overlooking the
beautiful Lake Minnehaha, a thrilling
spectacle met their astonished gaze. Far
out upon the turbulent waters a tiny craft
was tossing about on the angry waves,
and with heroic fortitude its 40 female
occupants were struggling with might and
main to pull away from the seething mass
of water, dashed into fury as it broke over
tho hidden rocks beneath, that was seeth-
ing and boiling but a few fathoms TO the
leeward. At sight of the carriage the
occupants of the boat gave Que despairing
cry for help and battled with renewed
vigor against the waves that bore them
every Instant nearer the treacherous reef.
With the heroism so characteristic OF
Cheyenne youth, the young gentlemen
lcaped from their carriage and rushing
down to the beach with frantic haste,
loosed from its %moorings one Of the many
lifebolts lying in the harbor, sprung to
the oars and pulled manfully TO the rescue.
With wind and tide both against them,
theirs was no easy task; but their hearts

By inch. they neared the frail craft now
upon the very verge of the breakers.
A hasiy glance over their shoulders
had disclosed tho fact that the occupants

brave women. One was engaged in bail.

boat with one Of the daintiest of slippers,
and the other bent to the oars with an en-
durance that was wonderful in one So
young and apparently unused to such a
task. For some minutes it seemed that
nothing could save them from terrible
death. but, just as the angry waters
seemed about to swallow up the frail yes
sci and her precious freight, the gallant
rescuers came alongside, and the exhaust
ed and almost l%aintipg females were lifted
iato the life-boat. Here began another
battle with the clements, but the nerve,
heroism and muscle Of the young men
conquered, and the beautiful damsels
we're brought safely to the shore. They
were Of course very profuse in their
thanks 10 the gallant rcscuers, and
after being earnestly solicited
rcvoaied the fact that they were non
other than the beautiful Miss Bebe Vinine
and her charming sister Jamie, Of the
Thompson Opera company. They had
thought to take a pleasant ride upon the
beautiful lake, little dreaming that a storm
would overtake them. or Of the dangers
that lay in wait for them in its treacherous
waters, The young men, with commend
able modesty, desire that their name be
withheld IN this publication, and We
should moi be surprised if an e~ntangle
ment of hearts were the result of their
thrilling adventures
The ladies recovered sufficiently from
the severe shock to appear at the per
