She was awakened in the middle of
the night by the violent tapping of her
chamber window. Startled, she sat
bolt upright and strained her eyes to
pierce the mysterious darkness. Aunt
ranny, on her bed OF grass, stirred
convulsively, but did not awake. The
blackness OF the strange chamber was
broken ever and anon by faint flashes
of light from without, and she lived
through long minutes of terror before
1t dawned upon her that a thunder

rising, and the night seemed agog with

A MERICA affords wealth OF heroic examples.

Cried Because He Couldn't Die

MCLEAN tried to buy Murphys chance, which
AVA he declined, and the toss Of penny turned
the decision in Murphy's favor. Then the poor
sailor Mclean went forward with the tears stream
ing down his cheek CRYING because he had lost
chance TO be killed for no one imagined that
they would ever come out of the affair alive
Captain Winslows gallantry in cutting the
cable at CienfuegOs was one of the finest feats of
courage performed during the late war, when he
with his men in open boats deliberately held on
and cut the cables under FIRE of Spanish infantry.
Captain Winslow was wounded, and several men
were shot dead in his boat but the men who
escaped injury continued hacking away at the
cable with axes and saws, facing death from FIRE
under short rifle range for period covering
more than three hours. Finding. graphing, and
lifting the cable from its bed OF sand was diff
cult work, and had it not been for the fierce
attack from the blockading squadron and the

fire, lifting the artillery by block and tackle Fully
eight hundred of the enemy fortified behind
fifty perpendicular ridges commanding the last four
hundred feet of the ascent at angle of sixty de-
grees, and the entire American force might have
been routed, possibly wiped out had it not been for
the bravery and inspiration of this eighteen year old
blue jacket who turned the tide of battle by climbing
a tree and drawing the enemys fire.
Hanging on the tree with hand, he used the
other to IRE into the trenches When the revolver
was empty he dropped it to the ground and caught
other loaded ones that thrown to him Although
subject to this severe attack from firearms and other
weapons, according to report, Fitz coolly remained
IN the tree holding the best he could, firing his
pistol rapidly, and doing great execution. He
finally came down and took part in the assault that
carried the trench The department has also
rewarded this deed of heroism by special order
setting forth the official of his valor and
awarding him medal of honor and a prize of one
hundred dollars.
History does not record a finer act of heroisrn
than that of Lieutenant Hobson in sinking the
Merrlmac IN the Santiago channel But it was risk
OF life that every in the American squadron
coveted, and they were none the less heroic that
they could not serve. All OF the officers and nv
entire crew volunt eered on the Iowa but only one
seaman was required, and the question OF selec-
tion was not easy when | had to corsidcr
nearly six hundred applications of pretty we'll

One OF the most inspiring acts of bravery of
recent years the voluntary self sacrifice of
Lieutenant John Hudgins the same battle ship
on the date when he put himself in danger to
save a seaman named King. He did it at the sacri-
fee of his life and showed the highest type of moral
courage that man be capable of. When the
powder charges were accidentally ignited, the lieu
tenant undoubtedly saw Kings danger and quickly
jumped between him and the powder to shield him.

LOSES TUE SUIT

Judge j. B. Cleland, of the State
Circuit Court, yesterday afternoon
granted nonsuit in favor Of the In
man-Poulsen Lumber Company and
against the Pacific Mail Company in
a suit for damages involving a claim
for $155,000. Attorney Ralph Duni-
way, counsel for the plaintiff, an
nounces that he will appeal to the SUI
preme Court from the decision of
Judge Cleland upon several assign
ments of error.
This is the second time this case has
been before the Circuit Court for Multi
nomah County, and it is one of the
hardest fought that has ever been up-
on the docket. 1t was instituted in
l9O2 when the defendant company was
granted nonsuit by Judge Sears and
the case was carried to the Supreme
Court and reversal secured and the
case remanded for a new trial early in
the following year. Since then it has
been hanging fire until it was taken up
last Thursday and has occupied the UNI
divided attentin of the court ever
since. 1t took but about ID minutes
IN which to submit the evidence and
the rest of the work was consumed in
the argument This is the case that
is responsible for the delay in getting
the grand jury to work.-Portland
