IT, and the man under the ruins murmured:
FOR Gods sake, save my sisters"
II was george Torcfino. The fremen
dragged away the rubbish, trying to free
the young man, Just then a watcher cried:
Look out, boys! Run, she's falling!'
The fragment Of wall tottered and fell
throwing up cloud of dust and concealing
from the view Of the anxious crowd in the
street the fremen, whom every one sup
posed buried; but only Battalion Chief Gal
win and Ladderman Samet were badly hurt
Ihe others went back to digging in spite of
their cuts and bruises. They thought that
george Torchino, the man they had nearly
rescued, would be killed by the second fall
or brick, but his life was saved by a strange
happening. Part of the wooden roof that
had remained on the wall fell directly over
the hole which the firemen had opened to
him, and the bricks and timbers rained
harmlessly on this canopy. The firemen
pulled 1t off and soon had Torchino out. A
few minutes later the firemen took out Tor
chino's father and mother. They were the
last to be taken out Of the wreck alive.

U. S.LAW GOVERNS
New Bridge Across Rock River
May Need Act of Con-
gress to be Legal.
AT LEAST FEDERAL PERMIT
Colonel c. w. Durham Calls Attention
to Fact That Stream Has Been
Declared Navigable.

Rock Island, Aug. 24.-Editor Argus:
There is lot of talk in The Argus and
elsewhere about building a bridge
across Rock river at or near Colona.
or somewhere in that vicinity. | doubt
whether it is generally known that
Rock river is a navigable stream, and
that it has been so declared by fed
eral court. This river comes under the
general bridge laws of the United
States, and an act of the legislature
and permit from the secretary of war
is required to make bridge across it
a legal structure. Were the ends of
the bridge in different states, an act of
congress would be needed. All bridges
built across Rock river below Dixon
since March 5, 1899, are Illegal if not
provided with an act of the state legis
lature and permit above mentioned, and
are as such liable for all damages due
to their existence. Section 8 of the
rivers and harbors act of March 3
1899, fixes the status of Rock river
bridges.
Might BE Interstate Stream.
While the United States courts have
actually decided on the navigability OF
the river only as far up as Dixon, it is
believed that. if the matter were
brought into court, such navigability
would be extended beyond the state
line into Wisconsin, thus making Rocl
river an interstate stream. III this
event an act of congress would be re
quired to legaliZe bridge across Rocl
river. Even under present conditions
/ believe that such an act is desirable
