FARM PAYS FOR LlFE-sAvlNe.
An Indiana Man Forced to Pay Pc
culiar Reward.

An 1uu1ana NAN r0rceu TO ray re-
culiar Reward.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Highley, who live
not far from Wabash, Ind, have recent
ly lost their farm through a peculiar
cause. In January, 1900, Marion Ruth
erford and William Miller were driving
along the bank of a swollen creek near
Mier, when they were attracted by cries
for help proceeding from the stream. A
moment later Highley rushed up to them
and said his wife, in a buggy, was out in
the creek and would drown unless quick
ly rescued. They had started to drive
through, when they discovered that the
water in midstream would surely drown
them and so they stopped the horses.
Highley had made his way ashore, but
was unable to save her.
I'm give you $1,000 if you save her"
he said to the men and Rutherford and
Miller, at the peril of their lives, rushed
in and brought the woman to shore. Sub
sequently they called on Highley to make
good his promise, but he refused and
assigned his farm to his wife. Suit was
then brought against him and judgment
was rendered for the full amount in ia
yor of the men. To settle the suit the
property has been sold. After the mort
gage of $3.50 was paid, $2,44S was turned
over to Mrs. Highley, from which she
settled the cost and Rutherford and Mil
Ter received $450-on which sum they
compromised some time ago.
