PHOENIX NAN RESCUES SIX
 FROM WATERS
Braved Swift Current In Rag
 ing Salt River Four Times
 and Was Exhausted When Last Man Was Saved.

PHOENIX, Dec. Especial. )-- Braving breakers that threatened ey- cry moment to fall into his smalIboat and drown him, Jim Shott crossed the north half of the Salt river at the foot of Seventh avenue eight times Wednesday afternoon and rescued six men, who had been caught on an island in the center Of the river by the rising torrent.
 FuHy fifty people looked on while Shott took his life in his hands and crossed the rapidly rising stream four times. to return after each crossing with one or two of the men whe had been caught by the flood and were in danger of being washed away.
 Shott's skill in handling the boat was little short of remarkable. In the hands of less experienced oarsman his. small craft might have. been swamped on any of the trips and it's load of human freight thrown into the water to battle for life in the waves and shifting sands.
 With nothing put paddle Shott guided one of the biggest boats from East Lake park, which had been hauled to the river in a dray. At times it looked as if the boat would be struck by one of the unrooted trees or logs that were being carried down by the torrent, but he managed to steer clear of them.
 Though the river was but 400 yards wide. the stream was ten feet deep. and the waves wore piling higher and higher. From shortly before nooI until , o'clock Shott continued hit battle to save the lives of the six rnarooned men,, and when he made the last trip was so exhausted that he could not have made another.
 Deputy Sheriff Adams assisted Shott in the work of rescue. With a horse. Adams pulled the boat half q mile up the stream from where Shott wanted to land on the island As Shott's boat shot out into the stream, but by skillful strokes he fought his way through and to the caImer water along the bank of the island.
 Taking about one or two of the men. Shott started back, and each time landed half mile down the stream from the starting point After each trip he showed the effect of the exertion to such an extent that he re quired a rest of from twenty to thirty minutes before yenturinS into the river again. In' the four trips made. Shott crossed the 400 yards of raging water eight times. .
 The six men rescued, 1.-two of them whites and four MexScans, had been working on the island for the past four weeks. They are employed by the reclamation service and have been digging sand. Yesterday morn ing at o'clock there was but little water on this side of the river, but as it was raining the men decided to remain in their tents. When they looked at the river bed again the water was running eight feet deep.

timber where deer were SO plentl-
full that he rarely returned without fine
haunch of venison on his shoulders.
AT the rate the new State of Washington
is being settled, stories of deer hunting, al
most within sight of where thriving cities
now stand, will soon seem apochryphal; but
it was only few years ago that one need
scarcely go out of sight of the blue waters
of Puget Sound to get as good days hunt
ing as the most ardent deyotee OF the r1he
could desire.
In those days, Ned's father had a farm In
Thurston county, not fifteen miles from
Olympia, and here Ned was supposed to lend
his aid in the cultivation of the soil. But
his heart was not in his work then. lie

to any quiet occupation.
His experience would fill volume, and he
had compressed into a few years more ad-
ventures than fall to the lot of half dozen
ordinary men in a lifetime. He had been
chased by wolves on the barrens of New
foundland, had been shipwrecked on the
coast of the Bay of Fundy, had crossed the
continent from Tucson, Arizona, to Boston,
without dollar in his pocket, and had
walked very little of the way And yet he
was a quiet-looking fellow, rather below the
average height, and not of what one would
call courageous aspect.
He has since settled down and become a
hard-working farmer, and no one would take
him for man who had more than once
looked death in the face, but such never
theless had been his experience.
"The closest can / ever had he said

some large animal.
my first thought was that it was a deer;
but that idea was abandoned at once, TOR inc

Then, if it was not deer, 1t was something to
be avoided by an unarmed man, and stood
perfectly still in the hope of being undscov-
cred, looking keenly meanwhile In the dlrec-
ton whence the sounds came.
Next moment, the movement of bush d.
rectly before me showed that the animal was
approaching. A large log lay between me and
it, and it was possible it would pass by with
out observing me.

not the slightest probability that had escap-

my rifle been all right, might have knocked
the brute over with single shot, or at least
got couple of bullets into him before he
could reach me, though the chance was one
that would not take if it could be avoided.
Gas it was, the only thing to do was to put
