A HERO OF THE WEST
LEO L. LOEB IS VISITING MONT
 GOMEfaY.
Daring Hide to Warn Citizens of Mani- ton of Approaching Tcrrant Farm ed Him Title "Paul Revere
 of C0Iorado.S

Leo. L. Loeb. known as the Paul Revere of Colorado" who registers from. Chicago. is in Montgomery. hero in the largest cities of the coun try, and in recognition of his gallant act in saving 2,000 people of Manitou. Colo. from a canon flood, has been ap. pointed a member of the United States Secret Service Corps by President
 He bears letters of introduction from Hon. Carter Harrison, Mayor of Chi- cago, and the Superintendent of Detec-
 Since his birth, Mir. Loeb has been suffered from spinal miningitis and is a cripple. He walks with the greatest difaculty. He intends shortly to under have his leg strengthened and his spine strengthened. About year ago, he underwent a similar operation in Chi cago, which was of great benefit to ing operation will make him whole.
 The daring deed by which Mir. Loeb won his title as 'The Paul Revere of Colorado" was performed in 1902 Al that time he was ranchman in the Ute canon. During the spring rains with other ranchmen, he saw a cloud burst approaching. The rest of his company hastened to the highlands for refuge MT. Loeb, however, an excel- lent horseman, thought of the unwarn- : ed people in the village of Manitou, 20 miles below in the canon.
 Riding at full speed, he reached the village and the people were warned. when the rushing torrents were only one mile distant The entire popula- tion escaped to the mountains, but the village was wiped of the map by the flood.
 During the ride, he fell seventeen feet from a precipice and injured himself to such an extent that he returned to his home in Chicago for an operation.
 In Chicago, he was featured by the press and in New York his deed was widely heralded.
 A few days ago he received his conn mission from President Roosevelt as a United States Secret Service agent.
 Speaking of his appointment last night, Mir. Loeb said that he could not possibly begin work in his present physical condition. and was, therefore. anxious to have the operation performy ed, although he fully realized it's seri- ousness.
 He will remain in Montgomery until Sunday when he expects to hear from his surgeon. as to the time and place of the operation.
 MT. Loeb has two cousins in Mont gomery. Messrs. Sig Loeb and Henry Loeb. He Is at the New Mabson Hotel.

Ed. Flynn. President of the Alabama district organization of the United Mine Workers of Alabama, was out to Mineral Springs, in the western part of Jefferson County, last night for the purpose of organizing the miners In the employ of the Pratt Coal Company. His efforts were frustrated by the pres ence of a number of deputy sheriffs. There was no trouble.
 The miners working for the Pratt Company are said to have individual contracts for five years. The deputies were out, 1t is learned, to prevent any possible trouble and not for any pnr- pose of intimidation, though the latter insinuation is made. President Flynn states that the efforts to unfonize the miners in the western part of the Coun- ty will be kept up. He will file com plaint with the sheriff as to the depu- ties. number of miners at Arcadia. in the vicinity of Mineral Springs have been discharged by the company for joining the union.
