country In it's course the flood had torn an unwieldy barge from it's moorings. Alone on board was How ard McCarney, a youth who could not swim. His old-time friend, James w. Gilmer, who had worked with him for years on a towboat, saw the flying barge, knew that McCarney was on it. and knew, too, that the runaway Ves- sel was heading for great dam short distance below on the river. It meant certain death to McCarney if some quick act was not carried out to save him. Gilmer jumped into skiff and raced after the barge. McCarney had long start of him, and the sound of the waters foaming over the dam reached Gilmer before he was well under way in his little craft. He hoped to get near enough to the barge for McCarney to jump into the skiff, and then together they could TOW to too swiftly. in the eddying currents the skiff was too unmanageable, and before he could reach him Gilmer saw his friend hurled over the rapids above the dam. So appalled, was he at the fate of his friend that he forgot his own safety. He fioated down to the danger point. jumped from the skiff into the boiling fiood-and the dead bodies of the two friends went down the river side by side. A bronze medal and $200 has been awarded by the commission to Gilmer's father in commemoration of his sons daring act

Maude Titus

In Casco Bay, near Yarmouth, Me, in the summer of 1904, deed of gen erous heroism was performed by a girl of 16. Maude Titus, student at the Newark (N. J) high school, was out on a pleasure trip in a sailing yacht with some of her friends. An accident occurred in changing the course of the yacht, and the captain, his niece, Miss Titus, and her friend, Miss Reifsnyder, were thrown into the water. The captain rescued his niece by a lifeline which had been thrown to him from the boat, and he himself then followed her to safety, leaving | Miss Titus and Miss Reifsnyder to struggle for themselves in the waves Miss Titus was a poor swimmer, and her friend was utterly helpless in the
 water. Instead of striking out for the
 boat, however, which she could have
 reached with ease, Miss Titus re

 but took hold of her, canned her, and endeavored to hold het head above water until a boat was sent to the rescue. For this act N, heroism Miss | Titus has received \ silver medal | The commission has e'so given hel

town on the Youghiogheny river near Pittsburg. Just what the trouble was has never been made known; but whether in the mining camp or on the river or in the boarding house where they both lived together, George South and Ed" Campbell never spoke to each other. One day, about three years ago, the alarm went out that South had fallen into the river at the end of great coal chute. Campbell heard the alarm and rushed to the river There was no sign of South, who, he knew, could not swim, and it was evident that the ill-fated man had been swept by current under large coal barge that was lashed to the pier. It was all mans life was worth to dive into the eddy of waters that stretched before him, but tearing off his coat Campbell took the risk. After a desperate struggle with the treacher- ous tides, and diving repeatedly under the barge, Campbell found his man where he had expected, wedged be- heath the hull of the vessel between some driftwood. It took all of Camp bells strength, working under water, to get the limp body of his enemy to the surface. He succeeded finally only to find that the man for whose safety he had risked his own life, and whom he had once cordially hated. was dead. The commission has sent a bronze medal to Campbell.

The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-05-01

The Roswell town team defeated
Artesia at Amusement Park in this
city yesterday afternoon in one of the
most peculiar base ball games of the
season, the final score being 8 to Z.
The visitors had all kinds of luck with
them, but the locals won their game
outright by heavy stick work, sack
ing all together, fourteen hits off of
Osborn, who did the twirling for the
visitors.
The game showed clearly the value
of the strike-out system of pitching,
as compared with steady head and
team work. While Osborne struck
out sixteen batters, the fourteen hits
gathered from his delivery more M
made up for the good strike-out record
On the other hand, Talbert for Ros-
well struck out but eight men and al
lowed but six hits.
The visitors had a hard lot of luck
in the second inning, When they got
four straight hits and a base on balls
and made but two scores out of it.
Ordinarily such a bunch of nits and
a base would give at least three
es. But other times their luck was
phenomenal, for Invariably the errors
or hits and errors would come to-
gether in a manner to increase their
score. The Roswell boys got all their

Chicago, May 1.-The first nation.
al packers exposition, designed to il
lustrate the various processes of pack
ing all kinds of canned goods, opened
today in the Coliseum and will last
until May IL. The scope of the ex-
hibits includes packers of all kinds of
foods, including meats, fruits, pre-
serves and pickles. All of the lead
ing packers of the country are repre-
scented, many having installed machf-
merry for the purpose of giving prac-
teal exhibitions of the methods in
use in their establishments. 1t is
expected thai the exposition will do
much toward restoring public conf
dence in the purity of canned goods
put up under the improved methods
in vogue since the recent Jungle"
revelations and pure food agitation.
The government has given the expo
sition its official Endorsement by de-
failing Major Charles P. Stivers, a
purchasing commissary officer, for du-
ty at the show. Women's clubs thru
out the United States have also sent
representatives to the exposition to
study the methods used by the pack
ing firms.

a home run, inasmuch as the ball had
not been hit clearly over the fence.
There was some doubt as to waeth-
er the ball went over the fence on the
part of some, but the fact was after
wards clearly established. If the run

hit mean one score. If it was a home

renee of two scores. Spauldings'
