hour to a piling of the east jetty at the

night and swung from the pier. Slowly
the second man in the chain was drawn
up, and then the third. his hands
clasped under the rescued youths
shoulders and around his chest. Allen
fell on the jetty, unconscious, and did
not fully recover for hours. When car
ried'to the house of Mrs. e. N. Scouten
he was almost frozen to death.
Allen lives on Ventura street, in Sea-
side park, with his mother. He is 16
years old. is athletic and popular. Last
evening after supper he said he was
going fishing Collecting his tackle and
bait he walked nearly to the end of the
jetty AS he was about to make cast
he slipped and fell into the water, about
eighteen feet below. No one saw him
fall, and the beating of the waves
against the timbers drowned his cries
for help. He cannot swim, and had he
not fallen close to one of the pilings he
doubtless would have been drowned al
most instantly. Wrapping his arms
and legs about the piling, he chung to
it tenaciously
A strange freak of fancy led him to
look at MS watch.
Suddenly through the gathering dark
ness he heard a sharp, strange cry, and
looking up he saw a brown face peerlng
over the jettys edge. An instant later
the face was withdrawn, and Allen saw
a man of short stature running toward
the end of the pier He returned short
ly, accompanied by two others. Drop
ping to timber a few feet below the
top of the jetty, the three formed a
chain. One man lay on his stomach,
another allowed the first to seize him
around the ankles and swing him off
the jetty, and the third then took the
first mans ankles in his strong grasp
and swung him also off the timber.
The one nearest the water was able to
reach Allen and grasp him firmly. The
strong fellow at the top then pulled un-
til the next Japanese was able TO
scramble on the timbers. Then they
pulled up the remaining man of the
rescuing party and young Allen.
Two hours later Allen was able TO
go to his home. His rescuers accom-
panied him, at his request, and were
rewarded. They gave their names as
A. Matsulato. c. Saieka and B. Wetso-
kan, and said they were employed at
the Craig shipbuilding plant.

ley in regard to a proposition recently
submitted to the Omaha Office for five
special cars to start from New York

the agent that her son could not make

1t was learned by Jackson that young
Bentley had evolved a highly original
scheme for the founding of travelling
university for rich mems sons who
would study collegiate branches while
travelling on land and the arts OF sea-
