VALIANT DEED OF UN.
KNOWN C0L0RED BOY,
Trying to Save Harness From Lee
Bros. Stable He is Nearly
Asphyxiated.

Many we're the deeds Of heroism at
the fire Sunday evening which com.
pletely destroyed Lee Bros. stables,
Haskell s. Sons carriage shop, First
NJ. e. Church, j. D. Pratt's horseshoe
ing shop and other property, but none
was worthy of more note than the
work Of small colored boy whose
name Is not known.
After bis several attempts to save
horses from the fury Of the flames,
which was Of O heroic nature, he went
to the room where was kept the many
valuable harness. Knocking out q
window he began passing outside,
piece after piece Of harness, some so
heavy that it taxed his strength to
lift them. The room was then so
dense with smoke that 1t was impossi-
BILE for the youngster to see. The con.
snming flames were rapidly drawing
near and yet he kept at the work be
volunteered TO perform. At last the
harness was no longer coming through
the window and as there was at that
time no way but through the window
for him to escape from the burning
building, his condition appealed to
many on the outside who had noticed
bis work.
Dan Jenkins, q former employee OF
the stable, was on the outside and
knowing Of the conditions, entered
through the window in to the room
the contents of which we're afire, feel.
ing bis way toward the center he
stumbled over the prostrate form Of
the boy and hastily carrying him to
the window bis apparently insensible
body was passed out to willing hands
there to receive ii.
After reaching fresh air the boy soon
recovered and arising, mingled with
the throng that had gathered about
the burning buildings.
In the excitement no one had asked
him his name, and his brave acts will
but live In the memory Of those who
witnessed them, only as those Of ar
unknown negro boy.
