A SOLDIERS BRAVE DEED.
DANGEROUS RUNAWAY
STOPPED.
An Old Native Nearly Killed by a
Hack Horse on King Street This
Morning.

A member of the Hospital Corps of
the 3sth Infantry performed deed
of heroism this morning that doubt
less saved lives, and ought to bring
him at least q medal
A runaway hack on King street
this morning knocked down an old
native Kauhai breaking his hip and
inhicting other injuries that are like
ly to cause death. The runaway was
very clevely stopped by A. Opperman,
of st. Louis, soldier of the hospital
corps on board the transport st. Paul.
Opperman sprang out as the horse
dashed along the sidewalk, seized the
frantic animal by the bit and at inn
minent risk to himself succeeded in
turning the horses head into the
building at this point and stopping
him. 1t was an achievement requir-
ing both skill and pluck. 1t was seen
by great number of people, every
one of whom was loud in Opperman's
praise. But as soon as the danger
was over Opperman, whose modesty
seems as great as his bravery, disap-
peared A citizen who saw his deed,
and appreciated his bravery and the
service rendered, has left $40 at the
Star Office for Opperman. He hopes
the latter will call and accept it, not
as a reward but as a token of recog-
milton and appreciation for what he
did.
| The runaway hack was number 1875,
from the stand at the corner of King
street and Nuuanu avenue. Its driv-
er is native, Nauao, who was not in
his seat when the horse started. He
claims to have had hold of the horse
and to have tried to stop it until the
reins were torn from his grasp, but
his services. He found that the old

NSBOB FISH HNSG& HIS HOME AWAY REPORTED BR TaAM BATTLE YESTERDAY
DEWEY PARTS WITH THE GIFT
OF THE PEOPLE.
Deeds the Fine Washington Resi-
dence Presented to Him, to His Wife.
Deeds Have Been Recorded.

WASHINGTON, November 2O.-Ad-
miral Dewey today formally transfer
red to his wife the title of ownership
of the house at 1747 Rhode Island ave-
nue. and contents, constituting a gift
to him made by people of this coun-
try.
Two papers figure in the transaction
and they are now on file in the Offices
of the Recorder of Deeds. The first
is a deed in trust by which George
Dewey and wife transfer to John w.
Crawford, the consideration being 81,
in trust, to convey to Mildred Mclean
Dewey.
The second paper is a deed by which
John w. Crawford, as trustee, conveys
to Mildred Mclean Dewey, the con-
sideration being SO, the property.
WASHINGTON, November 2O..-
News that the transfer OF the gift
house has been made has elected de-
gree of indignant feeling against Adj
miT%Pl Dewey too strong to pass unno-
| ticed.' When the report was first pun
! lished that the Admiral intended to
/ transfer to his bride the residence pre-
sented to him only "a few weeks be-
! fore there were murmurs of dissent
here, and considerable feeling was
manifested by persons who had CON
tributed to the fund.
Within the past few days letters
have been received by members of the
Dewey home fund committee from
contributors to the fund demanding
the return of contributions if the
transfer took place. Many persons re
fused to believe the report, maintain
ing the admiral could not, with de
cency, give away house presented t.
him by the people of the United
States. Several reasons for the inten
ton credited to the admiral and nov
confirmed were advanced and general
ly discussed in Washington, but few
persons could understand why tn,
transfer should be made to Mrs. Dew
ey, who has considerable fortune o
her own and an income larger thai
the admiral's salary.
With the announcement today o
! the actual official transfer of the gif
: house to Mrs. Dewey the Threatened
} storm of indignation has broken. To
night at biograph exhibition pic
lures of Mckinley, Bryan, Sampson
and Schley were cheered, while a like
! ness of Dewey was hissed.
No reasons for the admiral's actor
are obtainable from him or his friends
but the recording of the deeds has re
vived the story of an alleged romano
in which the admiral was said to hav
, participated when he resided in Wash
ington prior to his departure to as
: sumo command of the Asiatic squad
, ron, and a breach of promise suit
! vaguely limited at. The woman is re
ported to be Mrs. Fora Kent, clerk i
S the New York City postoffice. Sh
= was clerk in the Bureau of EquiI
= ment here when Dewey was its chic
and was later transferred to tn
Brooklyn Navy-yard. Mrs. Kent is d,
scribed as vivacious blonde of yer
! fascinating type.
: NEW YORK, November 2O.-Mr
Fora Kent denies that she is to 81
Admiral Dewey for breach of promis
f for good and sufficient reasons. ST
r does not know him at all, never ha
e ing seen him, and under those circun
r stances he could not have promise
= to marry her.
