the horsemen, after reaching the chan nel, found that they could not proceed, and reluctantly turned back.
 Oglesby's horse, punched by rails, tan gled in the lighter drift and wounded with wire, ceased swimming, turned over and went floating on his side Oglesby swan beside him, and holding his mane gently guided him toward the shore, which he safely reached, utterly exhausted. Camps horse ceased swim ming and commenced churning with his hind feet, Let go his head, and when he starts catch his tail" cried Oglesby from the shore. Camp still held his re- volver in his hand. His face was by this time white with horror. The other con yicts and guards now lined the shore. Oglesby arose to his feet and shouted: {: Men, am hurt and strangled am past swimming. Save Will Camp and will pay what you charge"
 It was an awful place to attempt a rescue. The drowning man still held his pistol and struggled in the drift. One hand was rigidly clasped on the ivory handle and the other was lifted up. Those on shore followed him along as he slowly foated, and Andy Ward was observed to be stripping himself. Lessee George Oglesby also began to pull off his boots. He found that his ankle was sprained and he could not go on with the task He sat down in de- spair.
 Save him, Andy" Oglesby cried, and Andy said, "l will if can, Mir. George" {" By this time Camp was nearly under his face could be seen now and then, and one hand still held up the pistol The other appeared again and again above the eddies in mute appeal. Andy plunged in and swan with powerful strokes, but when he reached sut to save Camp the latter went down and arose no more.
 Andy dived at the point where Camp sank and came up again. His arm and face were observed to be bleeding; he had been touched by the drift. Come backr' was shouted to him from the shore, but the brave negro would not hear it. He was bent on the work in hand. and under he went again and again. Presently he came up and gave wild cry. Then he sank agaiH and came up no more alive.
 It was nearly o'clock in tht after noon two days later when boy on he bank saw Will Camps body moving in the current. Two hundred yards behinl the dead guard hoated Andy, whsm he had lately guarded. The prisoner had died to save the officer, and was still floating after him, ghastly travesty of a heroic attempt. Both were taken out and placed side by side. At last the guard had given mp his weapon, and the poor convict Andy was forever free.
 While the drowning scene was going on beyond the river on the other side another incident occurred. A crowd stood together watching the struggle. From that side rescuc was impossible. The river was 900 yards wide and the drift was thicker that way. Presently q ragged negro, dripping with water, ap- peared and stood with the others. After gazing awhile he plunged in and swam back
 As he regained his companions on the Steiner shore, one of the guards asked, What did you come back for?'
 "To help was the laconic reply.
 This was Sam Johnson, the fugitive whose escape had caused the death of two men. Before Sam reached the bank he had left half an hour before, William Camp and Andy Wash had dis appeared, and the dancing eddies and floating drift were fifteen feet above them.
 "You came too late," the guard added, and when the others started back for the convict farm Sam Johnson marched with them.-Waco Cor. Gal weston News.
