SAVED SISTER FROM DEATH.
Girl Fell in Well and Brother Climbed
to Her Rescue

PHILADELPHIA, June 14.-But for
the prompt assistance rendered her by
her 12-year-old brother, Ethel Davis,
years old, would have probably
drowned in a well in the garden of her
home. AS it was, the boy hung, half
submerged in the we'll, for nearly an
hour with his sister in mis- arms.
Harry Davis, the brother, and Ethel,
were playing around the Well when the
little girl lost her balance and fell
into the water. After calling for help
the boy descended the we'll by means
of pump prop and rescued his sister.
He was unable, however, to ascend
again, and holding his sister with one
arm and the pump prop with the other,
he called for help.
His cries were not heard, however
and it was nearly an hour afterwards
that his mother discovered his plight.
Then he and his sister were rescued.
The little girl, who was unconscious,
was taken to the Jewish hospital. Sne
sustained no injuries.

George Gray, Newspaper Re-
porter, Shoots Himself
INFLICTED FATAL WOUND ID nsAs
Had Been Drinking for Several Hour.
Previous to Committing Act
Lived Six Hours.

Heorse Iray, reporter for the
Morning Union, committed suicide
suicide about o'clock this morning
in the Rees- Winans building by siaoot-
ing himself in the mead. After COM,
pleting his assignments on the paper
it appears that Gray left the Union
office about l o'clock in the morning
and began drinking. At 8 o'clock
while thoroughly drunk he picked up
couple of news boys on the street
and took them to his room.
One of them escaped from him and
notified the police. Officer Casey i'm
mediately went to his room and when
he knocked for admission Gray drew
the revolver from his pillow and fired
the shot which entered his head Just
above the right temple and came out
about an inch above, striking against
the wall and glancing against the
window casing.
Officer Casey called DR.. N. G. Bla-
sician directed that he be removed to
hospital as soon as his condition
would permit. Gray gradually grew
weaker and at o'clock he was taken
to st. Mary's hospital where he died
just as he was being placed in bed in
one Of the rooms.
Gray has been employed as a report
er on the Union for the past six
months. He was pardoned from serv-
ing term in the penitentiary by Gov
ernor Mcbride on a charge of sodomy
and after mis- release secured employ
ment on the paper on the recommen-
dation Of Warden John B. Catron.
Street Commissioner H. H. Champion
and others who had known him during
his incarceration.
He was man about 40 years of age
and was perhaps one of the best short
hand reporters in the West. He had
been employed on some of the largest
newspapers in the country and in that
capacity he interviewed many Of the
leading men of the nation, among them
James G.. Blaine, ex-PreAdent Grant
and others.
So far as is known Gray's conduct
since his release from the penitentiary
has been good. While serving his term
he was a model prisoner and it is said
handled much of the correspondence Of
the institution.
Just after completing his work last
night Gray notified Eugene Lorton,
managing editor of the Union, that he
had received an offer to join the Ma
tional Good Roads special which was
in the city at handsome salary to do
the press, work for the party and that
if he would release him that he felt
like accepting the position. He was in
formed that if he felt like accepting
the position that he could do so. He
left the office apparently in the best Of
spirits but it seems Immediately began
to drink and instead of retiring as was
his custom at 1 or o'clock in the
morning ne continued his carousing
until the time ne met the newsboys on
the street and took them to his room.
Fear of a life sentence for another
conviction was. probably the motive
that prompted the man to take his
own life.

Gambling is carried on right under

many of our largest associations" said
George T. Hepbron. There is more
gambling in bowling than in any other
sport The system so extensively in
vogue of permitting the man with the
lowest score to pay the cost of he game
leads to gambling. This is the germ
and it soon takes malignant form.
There is a beaten path between the sa
