HE SAVED THE BOY.
John Todd, of1This Citv, Rescues
Drowning Lad.

John Todd, of/Thfs CITY, RescueS a
Drowning Lad.
MIR. John Todd of this city, did very
heroic and courageous action few days
ago, saving life at the old Graves ferry
name s-unfortunately not known at this
time, started to cross the John Day river
at the ferry operated by Mr.. Clarno, in a
row boat. A cable is stretched across
the river and the young man attempted
tc cross above the cable. The boat
drffted down to it and was cap
sized by it, throwing Its occupant out
who grasped the cable. The current
kept continually pressing him under,
and he only tried to keep his hold. Todd
was looking out the window of ClaIDo's
at the time, dressed in heavy overcoat
and gum boots. He was so affected at
the sight he Immediately ran to the res
cue. He did not think to take off the
overcoat or boots but boldly plunged into
the water. Reaching him in short time
they were both plunged repeatedly be-
meath the surface, but assisting him as
best he could to keep up, Todd towed his
charge to shore. His strength then de-
serted him. and he fell fainting on the
bank. When he revived his. brain was
temporarily affected, and when found he
was crawling around over the sand on all
fours. He has probably by this time
fully recovered.
This is one of the few instances outside
of fiction of heroic deed, calling for SUI
preme strength, fortitude and nerve
worthy of a giant.

Hawthorne Reported Dead.

Another baseless report was circulated,
this morning that Hawthorne had sui
cfded by hanging. Coroner Butts had
received nothing authoritative up to 2
O'Clock, or anything sufficient to cause
him to make an investigation. Haw-
,thorne left the residence OF his vile Fri
day morning for his ranch on seven-mile
hill between The Dalles and Mosier,
since which time nothing has been heard
from him. He was at the house all
night and left the next morning with
the threat that he would finish the job
he unsuccessfully undertook Thursday,
but no one, SO far as known, has exhibit
ted enough curiousity to follow him.
The coyotes may have eaten his dead
body by this time for all anyone
knows, or he may be experimenting.

These are busy days with the regimen
tai officers of the National Guards Of
Montana and the citizen soldiers of Butte
are also busy with prospective elections
and other less important affairs. Hell
ena has concluded that she can no longer
support two companies of national
guardsmen and the two companies OF that
city are to be disbanded and from their
old membership a new company will be
organized. The National Guard will not
suffer any losses i'm membership. how
ever, for a new company has been organ
lied in Billings. which will step into the
vacancy caused by the natural death OF
one of the Helena companies.
Col. c. s. Shoemaker and Adjutant Ben
F. Calkins of this city have received for
NAL notification of Companies c and Of
Helena to disband and they will be mus
tered out some time this month IL is
expected that the general order calling
for their mastering out will be issued in
a few days. The new company at Helena
will be organized and mustered I'm as soon
after the old companies are disbanded as
possible.
An application from a new company at
Billings for admission into the National

The promotion of First Lieut.. Ben +.
Calkins of Company G. of Butte to be

will soon be ordered. Although that COM
pany now has two first lieutenants. Meth
er one of them is acting. George +.
Marsh, the other first lieutenant, who
preceded Ben Calkins as adjutant, has
been given an indefinite leave of absence

secretary of the capitol commission,
which will necessitate his residence in
Helena for four years. Ben Calkins pre-
fers being in the company to holding any
appointive office and he has not yet de-
cided to- retain his office OF regimental
adtutant. In the event of his being pre-
vailed upon to hold II, Company G will
elect a new first lieutenant.
Company Ii of Butte Is short both n
first and second lieutenant. First Lieut..
William McGrath is acting as adjutant of
the first battalion and Second Lieut.. Mike
Cleary resigned some time ago and Is alb
sent from the city. Several elections
were held for a second lieutenant but
they all resulted in a tie. the highest vote
for any candidate being a. A petition
bearing the signatures of 32 members of
the company was then forwarded TO Gov

They were casting lots.

They were casting lots.
For days they had drifted about on
the raft at the mercy of the waves. 1t
seemed an age since the ship had
sprung a leak and been abandoned.
The last scrap of biscuit had been saw
agely devoured a week before and the
few remaining in the barrel had become
too bad for even a starving man to
swallow.
One by one the few survivors had
seen their companions drop dead of pri-
walton or go crazy and jump over
board. To relieve their sufferings they
had done everything that shipwrecked
men ever do, as well as a few of the
things that writers Of sea stories say
they do. Then came the last resort
After casting hungry eyes upon each
other for hours. they decided TO draw
lots TO see which one was to die that
the others might live.
Silently the six white and one black
button were put into the hat and the
seven miserable wretches huddled
around to gamble with death. At
length each clutched hand held one Of
the buttons. and then one after an
other they were opened in fear and
trembling.
"Shiver my timbers"' exclaimed the
boatswain to the mate, but We're in
hard luck. The skinny man has drawn
the black button"'-New York World.

cratic party? Was the Chicago con-
yention Democratic National Conven-

marty In the United States. II was repre-
scented by the Chicago convention. The can
for II was made by the regular Demo-
cratic National Committee. The dele
gates were elected according to the laws
or rules Of the Democratic party. And
when the convention assembled It was
found to be the regular Democratic Ma
fional Convention IL was evident that
