AL lBANY'S YOUNG HERO,
Roy La Porte Saves Two Girls
From Drowning in the
Columbia.
Drags Them Along the Bed of tn;
River Until Shallow Water
Is Reached.

ALBANY, Or, Aug. 4.-The bravery
and grit of Roy La Porte, 17-year-old
youth of this city, is worthy of recognition
by all the humane societies in the country.
He saved Lizzie Milloy and Agnes Bury
from drowning in the Columbia River
on Saturday. He cbanced to pass by
while they were bathing in conventional
costumes. and a moment later he heard
them shrek. Retracing his steps, young
La Porte saw the girls struggling for life.
Without divesting himself of stitch of
clothing he sprang into the water. As he
reached the girls one OF them clutched
him around the neck rendering him almost
helpless. The other girl IN her terror
seized her companion and the trio sank
with seemingly remote prospect of ever
rising again. With almost abnormal
strength La Porte freed himself and man
aged to bring the girls to the surface once
more. In another instant they sank
again. This time La Porte, who had not
lost his presence of mind, made no further
attempt to free himself, but crawled along
the bed of the river until he reached shall
low water, dragging the two helpless girls
with him.
When La Porte reached the shore he
fell exhausted to the ground. at this
moment A. E. Bloom arrived on the scene
and assisted in saving the lives of the un-
conscious girls by rolling them over the
ground to force the water from their lungs.
La Porte and the young ladies are recov-
ering from the effects of their adventure
in the river

SUING FOR Al VSO LAND,
Contestants of the Late William
Rinehart's Will Bring a
Second Action.
Edward Donovan and Wife Accused
of Having Obtained Detd
by Fraud.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 4-Joseph Rine.
hart ana other heirs OF William Rinehart,
deceased, to-day began suit against Ed
ward Donovan and his wife to have a
deed to forty-eight acres OF land near Al
viso executed by William Rinehart to de.
PENDANTS set aside on the ground that it
was fraudulently obtained. The property
in question is worth $4,000. 1t is alleged
that at the time the deed was made Will
liam Rinehart was OF unsound mind and
wholly ignorant of the fact that he was
signing a deed of conveyance. The sum
of S25O0 for the occupation and use OF the
land by the Donovans since February 15,
1896. is also asked.
This suit is side issue growing out of
the contest now being tried before Judge
Reynolds of the will of William Rinehart,
deceased, inaugurated py Joseph Rinehart,
q brother, and Lew T. Porter, a nephew,
who were dissatisfied with the terms of
the will OF the deceased. Under the will
the former contestant was given $500 and
the latter was totally ignored.
Rinehart died in this city on February
90 of this year. He left an estate valued
at $50, 600, consisting of mortgage securi-
ties and cash. He died at the home of
Edward Donovan, and shortly before his
death Rinehart decided the forty acres of
land in dispute to Donovan. Donovan
claims that the land was given because of
the kindness himself and wife showed
Rinehart during his sickness, but the con-
testants claim the deed was obtained by
exercising undue influence over the de-
cedent.

Made Despondent by the Loss of
Husband, Daughter and
Grandchild.
LEAVES NO WORD TO FRIENDS
Six Months Ago Her Youngest Girl
Died by Her Own Hand at
San Jose.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Aug. 4-Mrs.
Mary Mccormick, who formerly resided
at 224s Folsom street, San Francisco, was
found dead in her bed this morning. She
arrived here last night from San Fran
cisco to visit friend, Mrs. J. A. Todd,
who resides on Healdsburg avenue. She
was respondent because of recent
business reverses and the death OF friends
and relatives.
Two years ago her husband died, and
scarcely six months have elapsed since
her youngest daughter, beautiful and
accomplished young lady, took her own
life while visiting in San Jose. -Four
weeks ago baby granddaughter died. and
the sorely bereaved woman had been
often heard to say that she would gladly
join her loved ones in the other world.
Mrs. Todd attempted to cheer and COM
fort her guest and left her in her room at
an early hour this morning. At 8 o'clock
the family became alarmed and entered
the room of their guest and found her
upon the bed cold in death. A glass by
the bedside in which the crystals OF
strychnine could still be seen gave evl-
dence of the cause of death.
Mrs. Mccormick left no word of fare
well, but sealed letter addressed to Vir-
gil Moore, the Santa Rosa agent of The
CALL, was found. This proved to be let
ter of introduction from San Francisco
lady and threw no light upon the sad af-
foir

tGry Problem.
REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Aug. 4.-As a
result of agitation against impure and un-
wholesome milk in San Francisco, the
Board of Supervisors have passed an
ordinance, although framed in general
language, is aimed at the inspection OF
diaries. The ordinance organizes San
Mateo County into sanitary district, I'M
der the supervision of Board of Health,
consisting of ex-Sheriff w. H. Kline of
Redwood CITY, DR.. l. R. Goodspeed of San

pensation. They have general supervi-
sion over the sanitary condition of the
county, and are authorized to appoint, sub
iect to the approval of the Board of Super
visors, veterinary surgeon to inspect and
report upon the health and condition of
the livestock of the county.
A majority of the leading dairvmen of
the county appeared before the board to
advocate the passage of the ordinance.
Addresses were made by R. G. Sheath and
G. w. Tabor, VINO said it was the desire of
all reputable dairymen to have a thor
ough but fair and reasonable inspection
of not only all cows, but of the premises
and sanitary condition of the dairies as
well.

suspended balloon streamers of red and
white that seem to have sprung up with
the rising of the sun this morning.
At intervals along the way the fifty-foot
banners in red and white letters, presented
to the funniest committee by THE CALL,
wave welcome to the visitors. These
banners extend beyond the limit OF the
regular decorations along the electrician
line to the Union depot, attracting the
eye OF all who come to the fact that Santa
Cruz will be turned over to the German
people for four days and nights,
The committees are progressing with
their work under the direction and ap-
proval of the executive committee, and
are leaving nothing to be done after the
big show begins. Lieutenant-Governor

P0RTLAKD'S LUCKY MAN.
Escapes Alive After Being Struck by a
River Steamer and Run Oyer
bv m Srnw

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 4.-The steamer
Baker passed through the draw of the
steel bridge yesterday morning hav-
ing in tow a ballast barge Boatman
James Dudley was at the time rowing
across the river in a skiff. AS the steamer
passed through the draw it was seen that
the small boat containing Dudley was i'm
mediately in its way. To the whistles
from the boat and shouts of it's officers
Dudley for some reason paid no heed, he
apparently being oblivious to his danger.
The pilot of the Baker rang for full speed
astern, yet the churning of the steamers
wheel on its reversed motion did not seem
to attract Dudley, and second later the
steamers PROV crashed into the side
OF the skiff, carrying under boat and oc-
cupant.
Dudley rose once after being struck, but
the suction of the moving steamer, its
headway not yet having been stopped,
proved sufficient to again draw the unfor-
tunate man under. only for him to appear
again Immediately beneath the paddle
wheel, which in its now slow moving in
response to the bells from the pilot-house.
still had force sufficient to fracture Dud-
ley's right clavicle. as one of the buckets
struck him in the breast.
The injured man sank again, this time
being drawn beneath the bow of the scow
To the onIookers it seemed ages before the
ponderous hulk had cleared the place in
the river where the man went down, and
when at last Dudley's head shot up from
beneath the stern of the barge shout
went up from those who witnessed the &C.
cident from the docks.
1t was at once sean that those on the
steamer WOuId be powerless to helm as fhe
current was fast Carrying the vessel down
stream. A rush was made for boat lying
beside scow on the river bank. Sturdy
arms sent this craft swinging out into the
river to the rescue. When taken into the
boat Dudley was found to be more dead
than alive, but he viii recover. Such won
derful pluck and endurance as he showed
in keeping afoat after his repeated i'm
mersions is almost unparalleled.
