to Hillsdale, Mich, from which State
in 1860, at the age of little over II
years, he was appointed to the naval
academy. When still cadet at the
academy he was appointed by the Pres
ident as acting ensign, and served with
signal distinction on board the United
States ship Oneida at the famous bat
tie of Mobile Bay in 1864. In 1872 Grid
ley was ordered to the United States
steamer Michigan at Erie, Pa, and re-
manned there until 1874, when he was
ordered to the Monongahela, on the
South Atlantic squadron. He has served

less liability of the strikers learning of
It l thought myself that old Nolan
was pretty leaky sort of fellow to be
let into the secret, for if he'd tell a
party of school boys like us, why
wouldn't he tell other people?
Naturally we We're all excited over
the prospect Of row, and the day the
strike came off Hal and two or three
of his crowd went over to Silver Glen
to see what was going on. Mr.. Bur-
CESS wouldn't be able to get I'D till the
evening train, which reached the Glen
at about Z, and the hands had whole
day to talk and get filled up on Sam
Pickles whisky. They'd be in fine
fighting humor by night.
Most of us forgot the recent race and
a good many of our differences in the
strike excitement But Billy Chet-
wynde was as gloomy as an owl and
spent most of the day on the river. He
couldn't get over his defeat at Halls
hands. Heretofore Hal and him had
been as thick as thieves'-the chum-
miest chums in the school-and don't
know but the fact that they were no
longer friends really troubled Billy
more than being beaten in the canoe
race.
Hal didn't show up at supper time,
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1898-07-15

and Fred, who came down from the
Glen early In the afternoon, said he was
worried. The temper of some Of the
strikers was bad and Fred said he fear
ed Hal had got into trouble. Billy,
when he heard this, got out his canoe
again and padded up stream. What
happened after that we only know
from Billy's own story, and for won-
der, as 1t Is hard work to get Billy to
talk about 1t even now.
He padded up to the dam to see If
he could hear or see anything of Hal
1t was getting dusky on the river and
as he went up near the west bank he
was entirely In the shadow. Some of
the men-maybe half dozen of them
were talking together under the dam
on the west side, having evidently met
there by appointment. Billy's canoe
wasn't noticed at all and he heard
what they said. In about two minutes
he had got the gist of the matter, and
II ever there was a frightened boy In a
canoe, that boy was Billy Chetwynde.
and he was In that canoe on the Still
River at that identical moment.
He learned that these men were the
ringleaders Of the strike; that they
were determined the strike should go
on, and that Mr.. Burgess should not
talk with the men until the trouble had
gone far enough to make an amicable
settlement impossible. And to gain
their end they had secured the assist
ance OF two rascally tramps who had
agreed to draw" the spikes out of a
rnil at the bridge below, so that the
evening train, with Mr.. Burgess
aboard, would be ditched!
Some time after Billy left camp that
evening we saw something shoot by
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1898-07-15

our tents like a streak Of light. It was
boy in a canoe. We all jumped up
and looked after the rapidly disappear
ing streak.
"It's that chump, Billy! said Fred,
in disgust 1--WE shan't be able TO get
him off the river all summer. Any
body'd think life or death depended on
his going over that course In better
time than Hal made"
And it did; but he didn't know 1t. Bill
ly had heard one Of the conspirators
declare that it was half-past six. AS
he turned his canoes head around in
the shallow water he heard the mill
clock strike the half hour-and the
evening train crossed the railroad
bridge at ten minutes to seven!
He couldn't stop to tell us anything
about it. He had but twenty minutes
to reach the bridge, climb the bank and
flag the train, and it is an acknowledge
ed fact that he made better time on the
Still River that night than was ever
made before, nor has 1t been equalled
since, for he did 1t!
The train came around the bend at
the Lonsdale crossing on time, and In
the half darkness the engineer saw a
figure wildly climb the trestle and
swing its arms almost in front of the
engine at the edge of the bridge. The
engine-dr;ver stopped the train in
time, the loose rail was discovered, and
after 1t was repaired they bore Billy
to Silver Glen in a state of mild col
lapse, but good deal of hero.
The canoe record Of the Still River
course remains something like eighteen
minutes, and nobody has since cared to
scale down Billy's time. But doubt if
Billy cares much about the record
after all, now that Hal and he are
friends again.-Rocky Mountain News.

WON LAuReLs AT MANILA
But Fate Forbade that Captain Gridley
Should Come Home.

Capt. Charles Vernon Gridley, who
died in the Asiatlc seas, presumably
as a result of injuries received In the
battle of Manila, was one of the heroes
of the glorious battle fought on May l.
1t was his ship, the Olympia, that led
the line of battle and fired the first
shots. The captain himself stood in
the coming tower throughout the bat
tie and Spanish missiles flew about
him. 1t is surmised in Washington
that he received some injury there
which led to his death. He was in
healthy condition before the fight and
for several weeks afterward.
Capt. Gridley was born in Logans-
port, Ind, in 1S45. The family moved

Fifteen New Warships 30 Be Built.
A naval program for presentation
to congress Involving the immediate
construction of fifteen warships has
been adopted by the naval board OF
experts to whom the subject has
abeen referred by Secretary Long. 1t
lproyides for three sea going barbette
tarret battleships OF 13 600 tons dis
aaacement and a minimum OF IL IL
knots speed when the vessels are
loaded to their deepest draught or
am average speed of about 10 knots
under ordinary cruising conditions;
three first class armored cruisers OF
II 900 tons and % knots speed; three
second class protected and armored
cruisers of 5000 tons displacement
and 20 knots speed, similar to the
Maine type but highly improved and
for six protected cruisers of $500
tons and is knots speed.
Phe main battery of each of the
battleships will be composed of four
IL inch rifles in the turrets on the
center line fore and aft, similar to
those of the Iowa and secondary
batteries mount from fourteen to
sixteen rapid fire 6-inch guns In
addition to these there will be unus-
ually large auxiliary batteries OF as
sorted sizes but quick fire and sea
aotomic. The 10-inch guns of battle
ships are put aside in the new de-
signs on account of their great
weight and because it will be neces
sary to increase materially the
length of the Finch calibre to meet
requirements of smokeless powder
exclusively to be used hereafter in
the navy.
The first class cruiser will be COW
ere6 with heavy armor from bow to
stern and will be armed with 4-inch
rifles in turrets and ten to twelve g.
inch rapid-fire guns on the broad
side. They are to be superior in
every way to any ship afloat to-day.
The second class cruisers as at
first proposed were to be of 5000
tons each, but the board added 1000
tons to them to be utilized wholly in
coal-carrying capacity. They will
have two s-inch guns and ten to
twelve 5-inch rapid-fire guns.
