TO DYING WIFE
Washington Farmer Makes
Heroic Effort to Reach Bed
side of Spouse Before Death

PORTLAND, Or, April 11.-Called
from his farm at Amboy. Clarke Coun-
ty, Wash, to hurry to the bedside of
his dying wife in a Portland hospital,
Frank Gerber walked forty miles dur
ing Saturday night and reached his
wife a few hours before she died. When
the long tramp was finished ten years
had been added to the lines of his face.
Mrs. Gerber went TO the hospital
few days ago for slight operation. "A
sudden turn for the worse necessitated
a telegram to Gerber. The last train
until Monday for Vancouver had gone
when Gerber received the message late
Saturday evening, but he at once set
out to walk fory miles along the rail-
road track. Three small children were
left at home. Never once during the
night did he sfacken the steady pace
set at the beginning.
At o'clock yesterday morning he
staggered into Vancouver and took the
ferry across the Columbia for the Port
land car. Gerber did not know until he
reached the hospital whether his terri
BILE walk had been in vain. He is
man of slight physique, and the strain
marked him deeply. Mrs Gerber died
last evening, apparently contented, as
her husband was with her at the last.
