An effort is being made to have the Indian survivor of the daring rescue of Mrs. w. w. McCune and son from drowning in the Colorado river, (which was related in these columns some weeks ago) decorated with a Carnegie hero medal, and to have a medal struck for the other Indian hero, who lost his life in his effort to save the woman and child.
