RAY GOES TO
WEST POINT !
HE PASSES THE FINAL
EXAMINATION.
Virginia City Will BE Represented At
West POint-What Lieut.. Chas. Bra
den, Instructor Of the National Pre-
paratOry Academy. Has to Say About
Ray Fenner.

Monday morning l.. A. Fenner re-
ceived telegraphic dispatch from his
son, Ray H.. who has been attending
the National Preparatory Academy at
Highland Falls, New York, preparing
himself for the examination, which
took place on the Bird instant, and was
to decide whether or not he should en-
ter the West Point Military Academy,
which was highly satisfactory to him.
self and family, as we'll as to every res
ident of Virginia City and the country
round about.
The telegram contained simply these
words: Have passed the examination
O. K" Only few words, but they
brought JOY 10 the hearts of the par
ents and brothers of the young man,
and to his many friends hereabouts.
While no one who knew Ray felt any
solicitude as to the outcome of the ex-
animation, knowing he would do his
utmost to succeed, and being naturally
studious and intelligent, there was
hardly possibility of failure; yet to
know that the critical point had been
reached and passed over safely, was g.
satisfaction to all the young mans rel
atives and friends.
Several days ago, Mr.. Fenner receiv-
ed letter informing him that Ray had
passed the physical examination. He
also received the following encourag-
ing letter from Lieutenant Charles
Braden, at one time an instructor in
the West Point Military Academy,
and now the instructor in charge of
the National Preparatory Academy at
Highland Falls, New York, in regard
to Ray:
"The young man has done exceeding
ly good work and will surely pass fine
examination. We have forty-eighG
boys, TALL candidates for West Point. J
and your boy has the best record in
arithmetic, and is nearly at the head
of his class in all the other branches.
He ought to do we'll at West Point
and take good stand in his class. He
has been a model of good behavior and
industry, and | am exceedingly well
pleased with him in every respect

AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE.
How j. NJ. Luke Faced Death For
Several Minutes.

J. M. Luke, the representative of the
King Bridge Company, who was in
town last week, recently underwent an
experience which he will not soon for
get. He was working on the ice on the
Jefferson river near the jefferson Isle
bridge, when the ice broke and he was
precipitated in;o about II feet of water
He came up under the ice which was
about four inches above the water sur
face. He made an effort to break the
ice with his fists. but it was too firm.
Then he remembered having noticed
an air hole down the river. Realizing
that this was his only hope of escape
from death, he turned over on his back
so that his nostrils would be in the air
chamber and struck out. A few strokes
carried him to place where the ice
and water surface met and his head
was forced below the water. He is a
good swimmer and resolving to die
game, continued swimming. He had
JUS. about relinquished all hopes of
seeing terra firma again when his head
popped into tho air hole. This, he
says, was undoubtedly the happiest mo-
meut OF his life. He lost no time in
getting on dry land again, and notwith.
standing his ice cold bath the perspira.
tion rolled from him.

THE GIRLS STORY.

she Was Silenced by Her Fathers
Threats.
The girl is with relatives in this city.
She was interviewed-by MAD1soNIAN
man yesterday and her story would
melt heart of stone. She is large,
we'll developed girl for her years and
eems to realize the awful position in
which she is placed. Tears came to
per eyes as she told the story CT her
ather's villainy. She says the first
(ffcnse was committed about lS months
Lgo. After outraging her Hahn told
er that if she said anything about
khat had been done both would have
O go to prison. This sealed the lips
f the girl, but she left her home and
vent to neighbours house, where she
pent several months.
Subsequently domestic troubles re-
ulted in the separation of the girls
arents. They have since been di-
orced Mrs. Hahn went to Billings,
ellie accompanying her. After a
ew months, Hahn, by fair promises, in
lced Nellie to return. On the day OF
or return he assaulted her and she
gain left. She secured work as a do
estic for few weeks when she re-
rned to her fathers place. He again
ltraged her, when she went to the
pme of Phil James. She told Mr..
mes that her father had not been
Eating her right. She also told her
usin, Oscar Berger, that her father
IS abusing her, and he came to town
take steps to have Hahn arrested.
,ung Berger, however, was not cog
.ant of the facts as they existrd and
lld give no definite information. The
lnty attorney requested him to bring
girl to town il order that some
ng definite might be learned. This
young man die the complaint was
>rn to by the girls aunt, Mrs. Ber'
and the warrant issued.
sut in the meantime it seems that
pe of young Berger's associates, who
wv of the state of affairs, threatened
in, and told him that he was to be
ested. At any rate Hahn lost nj
in getting o 1t Of the cou MIR.
