RIskED LIFE TO SAVE WOMAN.
Pathetic Story of Wife's Devotion and
Young Mans Heroism.

Pathetic Story of Wife's Devotion and
Young Mans Heroism.,
Rockmart, Ca, May 5.-F'rom the
little town of Barnett, Ca. comes
story of wife's devotion and young
mans heroism that touches the depths
of the heart.
Three weeks ago Mr.. Turner, the vii.
lage postmaster, was stricken with
smallpox in it's most violent form. No
one could be induced to go near the
shadowed home, and for two weeks
the poor wife, half dead with her
WEAKNESS and grief, nursed the doom
ed man alone
Finally some of the residents of the
town induced two negroes to go to the
aid of Mrs. Turner, but in spite of all
her devotion and the untiring skill and
devotion of her physician in three
days Mr.. Turner was dead.
They buried him in the night, just
four negroes who carried the coffin and
one white man. Immediately after
wards, although every precaution had
been taken, Mrs Turner succumbed
to the fell disease, and now comes the
beautiful part of the story. The poor
woman lay there, desperately i'll, with
no one to care for her, when Joseph
O'Brien, young man of wealth and
influence, hearing of the case, hiring
such help as he could, bravely took
his life in his hands and is nursing
the stricken woman. Small hope is
entertained of her recovery.
The world loves to honor a hero,
and especially is it due to this young
man who, with everything to make life
bright for him, calmly faces a proba.
BILE death for the sake of a helpless
woman in distress.
