irom THURSDAYS Daily.
Very full accounts of the sudden
and tragic death of Frank M. Heaton,
a very well known land attorney of
Washington, ID. G. Mr.. Heaton was a
cousin of General Bakers, and has
often visited the general in this city
and at Oak Cliff farm. Mr.. Heaton
was struck by an auto, drawn under
the car and terribly mutilated. He
died instantly. He was seventy -four
years of age. He had an elegant
home at Chevy Chase, suburb of
Washington city.
Mr. Heaton was well known through
out the northwest. Only recently he
was called to Duluth before the court
in a land case involving millions. He
was an elegant gentleman of the old
school and had hosts of friends. Cen
eral Baker greatly deplores his sad
death. He is about the last of the
generals near relatives, being his full
cousin on his mothers side. The auto
was driven by James NJ. Phillips, a
young Yale graduate, who is we'll
nigh crazed over the sad event.

SardOu Rescues One
Many times hero during the great
flood of 1903 Freeman SardOu who
lives near the bank of the river in
Oakland, added fresh laurels to his
fame Tuesday afternoon by rescuing
Harvey Sells from a tree in the sub
merged district on the opposite bank
nf he a
in the still water which covers the
bottom land in this section of the city
when his boat was caught in the swift
current and drawn into an eddy.
Here it was whirled about among
the wreckage and debris until it was
Sells thrown into the river. He man
aged to catch the limb Of a willow
tree and drew himself out of the
water, but at that his position was
precarious. He was seen by a num-
Der of men rowing boats, in the
vicinity but after testing the current
they turned back.
One of the men went to the Sardou
home for the purpose of borrowing
his motor boat but it was out of COM
mission and could not be used and the
man returned and reported his lack
of success. It seemed that the man
was doomed to drown and Mr. Sar-
dou was informed of his plight Mr.
Sardou Immediately. launched the
boat which did such valiant service
during the flood Of 1903 and started
for the marOoned boatman.
He started upstream from the bridge
and was swept under this structure
so swift is the current at this point
and beyond the tree where Sells was
perched. and calling for help.
Laboriously Sardou worked his
craft up the stream until he reached
the tree and took Sells into his boat
and then the journey across the
stretch of water began. The current
churned the water like mill race and
an hour was consumed in the rescue
which was replete with thrilling in
cidents. and the prowess of "the old
man of the flood of 1908" is again
recognized.
