We frequently read of a woman'a
bravery in dangerous ventures to save
her child but in most cases they are
dismissed as mere fabrications. But
We can cite case which we know to
have actually taken place and it speaks
volumes for the gallant lady. Mrs.
Anna Fash. OF Woods county, Oklaho-
ma, was visiting last Thursday with
her sister. Mrs. Nellie Strothers and
while the children were out playing
Mrs. Fash's child about three years old
fell in the well. As soon as Mrs. Fash
was notified by the other children she
descended on the well rope and got to
the bottom just in time to save the
child's life. The well 10 thirty feet
deep and contains three feet OF water.
The child was almost strangled but is
was revived under great effort. Mrs.
Fash's hands were severely burned by
the rope but otherwise she was uuin-
jured. Talk about your Deweys. your
Roosevelts and scores of others, but the
woman who El.l put hsr life IN jeopardy
to meet . crisis of this kind is . heroine
whose star shines as brilliantly as any
of them. Take your hat OF to that mo-
BILE young woman.

A POOR FARM.
The County Commissioners
Negotiate for the Bruce
Dobbs Farm a Half Mile
East of Town, to Sup.
port Paupers.

The County Commissioners met in
special session on Monday and Tuesday
of this week and purchased the Bruce
Dobbs half section on the fat east of
town and converted It into poor farm
for the care of panDers. August
Schmidt was appointed manager Of the
farm and is to receive all the products
OF the land and he agrees to support all
the paupers In the county. The price
paid for the farm including crops, three
cows, span of ponies. few imple-
ments and . spring wagon, 10 $2,797.00.
The improvements On the place would
cost nearly that much to build them.
The Board % now composed, a. we'll
as former ones, h.ve often discussed
the advisability of purchasing a farm
to support the paupers of the county
and they have finally concluded to try
it. The pauper bills have been gradu-
ally increasing and the Commissioners
concluded that it would be wise to
make them self-supportable. Last
year the pauper bill was over $4,000
nearly half the cost of the farm.
1t is said the county could get $500
for its bargain; in fact. we understand
such an offer has been as good as made
by several parties. But whether it is
true or not. everybody considers 1t a
good investment, and under proper
management it ought to eventually pay
e.
money invested. Our judgment is that
paupers will not be 80 numerous from
this time on.
