20 MINUTES UNDER WATER; LIVES
Girls Remarkable demonstrations
Doctors Theory.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Forest Grove, Ore, Aug. 19.-Bessie
Mills, Is years old, remained under
water yesterday for twenty minutes,
and to-day she is suffering no ill eff
fects from her experience. Physicians
who have investigated the case declare
that no water entered her lungs.
Bessie leaped into a creek to save
her younger brother from drowning.
She struck on her stomach and sank
at once. George, Meyers went to the
rescue and located the girl at the bot
tom of the creek, clinging to a root.
Women set to work to revive her
when brought up, although they be-
leved her dead. 1t was a surprise when
she opened her eyes, In a few hours
she was all right.
The theory of physicians is that
when Bessie struck the water she was
| rendered insensible, in which condition
she remained until she had been
| brought out of the creek, Had she come
to while beneath the water she would
| have drowned.

in the breaking up of gambling dens
and Illicit liquor selling joints, and
yesterday they added to their long list
of arrests by successfully raiding two
gambling dens. one conducted by Chi
Ipese and the other by japanese. In
both places hard fights were put up by
the inmates, and Renear came out of
the raids with a bruised right hand, ac-
quired in a set-to with a powerfully
built japanese.
The first raid was made about 3
o'clock in a Chinese house on Bereta-
mia street near its junction with King.
Both detectives made a successful en-
try, without their presence being dis
covered until they were actually in the
room. The alarm was sounded, every
avenue of escape was sought, principal
ly the windows, and the Chinese tum-
bled out of them by the half dozen at a
time. The detectives, however, rounded
up nineteen and sent them to thu sta
ton in the patrol wagon.
Ten minutes later they surprised a
gang of Japanese gamblers in the sec
end story of a Japanese house back of
King street and close TO the building
which was on fire few nights ago. The
room was full of the little brown men |
but before the detectives could lay
