GALLANT MIR. MARVIN.
Frank V. Marvin, a passenger con-
| ductor on the r. & p, did an act of
gallantry and kindness yesterday,
which though characteristic of railroad
men. is worthy of extensive notice.
He went over to JuareZ on street car
yesterday and as he was returning he
heard the cries of a child in distress
as the car was passing the acequia on
the Mexican side of the river. Jump

sacrifice of nice clothing he sprang into
the water and rescued the child. 1t

thinly and poorly clad and locked in
the cars like prisoners. the immigrants
seemed happy ard while the trains
were stopped some of the children of
the party entertained the rubber-necks
with quaint music from rude. home
made musical instruments. One of
these which was remarkable for its
simplicity was a gourd. the surface of
which was made rough and was
scratched upon by little girl with an
anvil. making a monotonous sound not
unlike the mournful song of the katy
did.
