TOWN OF LIE GRANGE.
A Glowing Description of the Horse
Creek Region.

To the Editor OF The Leader.
LITTLE HORSE CREEK, March For
over a year the most fabulous tales have
been circulated regarding the numerous
settlers that are forging their way across
our eastern border. Being somewhat in
credulous, | thought the tales told cx-
ceeded reason and common sense. | de-
termined to see for myself, so accordingly
a few days ago | ambled down to the land
of Goshen. And right here is he most
difficult part of my narrative. You are
aware there are times when articulate
language is inadequate to express our emo
tons.
| can only say with the queen of Sheba
when she stood before Solomon that the
half was not told. To be as brief as pos
sible, you will only expect me to give the
cardinal points of my journey. As the
sun was about set | brought up at my old
and estimable friend, G. NJ. LeGrange's.
Mr.. L.. is one of the Oldest settlers in this
section and has done more for the devel-
opment of this neighborhood than any
other man. l piled the questions to Mr..
L. He went on in his usual s~traightfor-
ward manner explaining the number OF
settlers that have located in his vicinity
within a year, and as he said, still they
come. The conversation went on with
undated vigor until bedtime.
Next morning after breakfast was over
imagine my surprise on seeing a civil
engineer with all the parphernalia to
lay out a town on the Lagrange property.
Mr.. l.. has set aside l60 acres for the
toBnsite and the location is an admir-
able one indeed. Big Horn creek will
meander through the center of it and
give its life sustaining element to the peo-
pie of Lagrange. The situation for a
townsite is very fine. The confluence
of Bear creek Is in proximity at this
point and the Horse creek valley widens
to about three miles. The scenery is very
imposing. Bear creek mountain to the
west looms up with wonderful granduer.
The top of that grand old land mark
Laramie peak one hundred miles away
showing her snowy white caps upon her
neighbors comes into view. Having
spent an agreeable hour with the sur
veyor at his work l next wendell my way
to the ranch of Mr.. ID. +. Brown. He
also is an old timer and his friends are
legion. Here MIR. Brown was at his post
like a man guiding the throttle of a
twenty horse power engine, grinding corn
into meal and wheat into -four to satisfy
the hungry maws of the numerous set
tiers who were there getting their grind
ing done, Every where l went l found
the reports fully verified. | forgot to say
there is a store here carrying a large aud
diversified stock of groceries and hard
ware. As soon as the town is laid out a
grocery store aud hardware, drug and
clothing store aad professional men Of
different callings will make this place
their headquarters. Mr.. l.. with his
wonted liberalitY is offering special In
ducements to parties who would want city
lots j. III. G.

A CANINE HERO.

A large crowd of people attracted
my attention about 6 o'clock thi:
evening on Main street, says Johns
town letter to the Philadelphia In
quirer. On going closer | noticed
that a number of men and women
were surrounding a dog, on which
each and every one of the crowd was
anxious to lavish attentions and
n!earing terms more appropriately
bestowed upon favorite child than
upon an animal.
"Come here, Romeo, my noble old
dog" said one woman.
"Give me a kiss there is a dear"
"Ah, Romeo" said another, ''ii
was pity Johnstown had not more
such noble creatures as you are and
there would not be so many dead PEG
pie here now"
The dog, a beautiful water spaniel
whose fur was clipped so as to give
him the appearance of a miniature
lion, stood as quiet and dignified
among the people as if he understood
each word addressed to him, taking
the evidence of appreciation as mat
tiers of course which he had every
right to expect. Soon | understood
what it all meant.
Romeo belongs to Mrs. G. f. Kress
of Washington street, JOhnstown.
The day the Aood-gates of the South
Fork reservoir broke loose that lady
went to the house of her sister, Mrs.
A G. Kress, on Main street, taking
the dog with her. While there the
awfully disastrous waters came sweep
ing down upon from Conemsugh, sc
that all the people in the house were
compelled to get upon the roof.
There were seven and Romeo making
good eight.
But soon the terrible waves and
floating debris raised horrible havoc
with the building. Suddenly big
wave dashed upon the roof. Mrs.
G. F. Kress was knocked off her place
of refuge and rapidly floated along
with the wild stream. No human be-
ing attempted to jump after her or
make any effort for her rescue,
because the surging food had already
dragged her beyond all human reach.
But Romeo, the lady's dog, forge:ful
of his own danger, had apparently
been expecting what was coming.
The waters had no more than closed

jumped after her, and when her dress
again appeared above the surface be
Immediate ly grasped it between his
teeth. II was a heavy burden, but
the animal seemed to make double
effort. Holding the dress in his
mouth he gently but firmly pushed
her forward through the waters to-
ward a frame house, which was still
defying the waves. Romeo's noble
efforts were successful, and in a few
moments Mrs. Kress was able to lay
hold of one of the spars on the frame
house and drag herself into compar-
alive safety.
"But alas 1t vas only temporary
safety. Even before the woman had
realized her escape the devastating
waves came mountain high, rushing
against the frame house. This time
The building could not withstand
With a terrific crash the wooden stills
seemed to be bursting apart, and once
more the woman and her dog were
at the mercy of the flood.
The noble brute, however was not
to be daunted. Again he chung to
his mistress very closely, not as if he
were to rescue her from watery
grave, but as if his whole life depended
upon her safety. Constantly SWIM
ming by her side while she was borne
upon the current he contrived to
keep her head above water 80 as to
prevent her drowning. For over
half an hour the dog battled with
the waves for her preservation. His
noble, faithful endurance was at last
rewarded. He succeeded in directing
his valued burden toward Alma Hall
and here Mrs. Kress was pulled out
of the water.
As she reached the roof unconscious
ness overcame her, and during all
that time Romeo, who seemed to think
the woman dead, barked and howled
in the most frantic manner. Only
her returning breath pacifed him and
then he quietly and contentedly lay
down at her feet.
This wa the story cleaned from
the people surrounding the dog, and
when | called to see Mrs. Kress at
her sisters home she verified every
particular of the above.

idea of the enormous amount of this

to inspect any of the mills; also, to
ride down the celebrated timber slides,
which are erected for the purpose of
bringing the logs from the higher
