MACHEN PROVES A HERO
Centra|ia Youth Saves Life Of His
Small Brother.
DISPLAYS RARE PRESENCE OF MIND
REEVES HIS YOUNGER BROTHER
AFTER HE HAD BEEN KICKED
BY A COW.

CENTRALIA, Wash, June Sine
presence Of mind of Melvin Mechen,
of Centralia, undoubtedly saved his g.
year-old brothers life this week. Mel
win, who is only IL, showed rare
presence of mind that would have
done credit to a much older boy, or
to any man. The two boys were driv-
ing some COWS to pasture across
the Chehalis river, west of Centralia.
a COW by rope, which he had twisted
around his wrist. The COW suddenly
became unruly and started to run,
throwing the little lad to the ground.
This only served to brighten the COW
more. and she started off at a mad run,
dragging little Harold after her.
Kicks Boy in Face.
After going about $50 feet, she
kicked back several times and manag-
ed to break the rope by kicking the
boy from her, the impression of her
foot being plainly seen on his face.
One blow almost knocked the scalp
off, in fact so nearly doing it that
seventeen stitches had to be taken to
replace it, After the COW got away
the lad was unconscious until his
brother Marvin came up.
This lad, instead of becoming fright
ened at the sight of his bleeding and
unconscious brother, who he after
wards admitted he thought about dead,
set about to revive him if possible.
Carefully clearing the dirt and gravel
out of his mouth, he carried him to
the side of the road and pushed the
broken skin back upon the skull. Then
this wise little man carefully breathed
into his brothers nostrils until he
came to, and then went for water to
wash out his mouth and give him
drink. Not having a cup he was COM
PEELED to call upon his mental re-
sources again, and fetched the water
in his cap Seeing that he could do
nothing further for his almost uncon-
scious brother, he started for help,
telling Harold that he would be back
soon and for him to be brave
Take Him to Physicians.
Fortunately, he did not go far before
he met two boys, sons of Chandler
Brown, going to town in a buggy He
enlisted their aid and they managed
to get the injured boy into the buggy
and started for town. The Brown boys,
although much older than Melvin Ma
chen, were much more ratified. and
they did not have presence of mind
enough to let Melvin ride to town in
the buggy. and so he ran along behind
all the way to town, about a mile,
to show them where to take Harold,
and later went for a doctor.
To a friend Melvin afterward said
that he thought Harold was about
dead, but he intended to do all he
could for him, anyway Thanks to his
brothers prompt aid, young Harold
will probably recover, if complications
do not set in.
