Council Bluffs, June 19.-Luck has
always been with Thomas Ryan, the
vo,,ns man who now lies bruised and
suffering In the Mercy hospital of this
CITY while his companion, John Hawk
ms of Meadow Grove, Neb.. was
hurled TO instant death by Northwest
err fast mail train No. 10 Saturday
night. AS a boy he went to school
with the famous Pat Grove and was
saved from drowning at one time by
the heroic efforts of the future kidnap-
per. Later, when young man, Ryan
was implicated in an attempted rob-
berry and thru the efforts of Secretary
of the Treasury L. NJ. Shaw. the in
dictment was quashed on condition
that the young man should enlist for
a four years service in the national
navy. Several times during cruises of
battleships on which he sailed. he
came near to death, but his lucky star
was always ready to intervene and
save his life.
Upon one occasion he fell from the
height of fifty feet while stationed on
the battleship Iowa, but was saved by
the intervention of ropes. Another
time he barely escaped being devoured
by shark while bathing in the In
dian ocean. Six weeks ago, Ryan was
discharged from the navy and returned
home to Vail. Accompanied by Hawk
ms, he came to this city to attend the
firernen's tournament and in attempts
ing to get a free ride back to Vail was
struck by the mail train and badly
bruised but not seriously injured. Be-
lieving that his life has been mir
acously saved for some good pur-
pose, Ryan declares that as soon as
he leaves his cot at the hospital, he
will begin life Of usefulness.
