TWO SOUTHERN GIRLS MAY RE-
CEIvE MEDALS.
Julia Bolton, Aged II, Saves Drowning
Companion, While. Eta, Age IA,
Saves Mail Sack When Tossed
Into Stream.

Memphis, Tenn.-For their remark
able acts of bravery, Carnegie hero
medals will probably be awarded to
Misses Julia and Eta Bolton, aged IL
and Ia years respectively, daughters
of H. H. Bolton. They lived near Hat
tiesburg, having removed recently
from Mobile.
Eta and Julia, with Miss Stella Bre-
land, II years old. and Miss NJ. Extein
went swimming in Purvis creek. not
far from the Bolton home. Miss Bre-
land suddenly lost control of her limbs
and sank. AS she went down the sec
ond time Miss Extein cried: Stella
In drowning!"
Julia Bolton dived just as Miss Bre-
land sank for the third time, and
caught the drowning girl by her left
foot. After a desperate struggle she
pulled her friend to the bank, where
the other girls helped get her out of
the water. Miss Breland was uncon-
scious. Julia Bolton was thoroughly
exhausted. Both were taken to the
Bolton home, where they were soon
joined by the father of Miss Breland
carrier in Alabama when she brought
fame upon herself. She was driving
her mail wagon across swollen
stream over a rickety bridge. The
structure gave way and the girl, horse,
wagon and contents were pitched into
the turbulent waters.
Miss Bolton swan out, then plunged
again into the torrent, and though the
current was sweeping her down
stream, she removed the harness from
the horse, gathered the sacks and
pouch under one arm, and, guiding her
horse with the other, struggled to the
shore. She reported to the post Office
on foot.

LOVE FREES EXILE
SAMUEL lEFF'S THRILLING ES.
CAPE FROM RUSSIA.
Fugitive Arrives Safe in New York
City, Thanks to Effort of Brave
Woman Who Planned Daring
Flight.

New York.-"The cunning and vig!-
lance of the Russian soldiers who
guard the prisoners in the Siberian
mines may be 14-karat, but they
couldn't outwit the shrewdness of a
little woman who aided me to escape
Imprisonment there-a little woman
who is now my wife and will join me
here
Samuel Left, "a years old, now stop
ping on East One Hundred and Third
street, thus started the story of his
thrilling escape to a reporter.
Il was a student of chemistry and
engineering in college at Barastow,"
he said Nearly all the students
there had witnessed outrages commit
ted by the cars Cossacks. Jewish
women and children were shot down in
the street. There was no thought of
liberty or even of common humanity
among those soldiers, and many of US
harbored resentment against them
"One day, when the soldiers had
aimed their guns at a group of women
and children. 1 sprang forward and
begged in Gods name that no shots
be fired 1 was promptly arrested and
thrown into a dirty hole which the
officials genially called a cell
Then l was sent to Siberia. That
was in 1906.
Miss Mary Rittinger was accus-
toned to bring food to the political
prisoners, of whom 1 was one. Mary
and I fell in love. The guards did not
know this. Mary was too shrewd for
them She Matched out a plot with a
student friend of mine, also prisoner,
whereby one night we stealthily got
over the wall Of the prison and got
some distance away.
1--WE were caught-that student
friend and myself-and my friend was
shot by the guards. 1 was taken back
to prison and tortured. 1 will not at
tempt to describe how those soldiers
treated me. Just look at me. / guess
thatll be enough evidence"
The scars and emaciated appearance
of the man seemed to bear out his
statement
my first unsuccessful attempt to gain
liberty. We were married quietly.
She also was arrested, and luckily sent
to the same part of Siberia where the
Russians sent me.
Zone day we were sent to pick wood
in forest. We had horses to carry
| the wood. When the guards we're not
| on the alert we rode away on the ami
mails and finally arrived at town 3O0
miles distant, where we had friends
''On that awful trip, through snow
| slush, water and mud, we nearly
starved. My wife and I had to 60
without food. We reached Minsk
where we met revolutionists who
heard our story and cared for us. Then
my wife and 1 separated, she taking
a different route, but bound for New
York, where I also have friends. My
wife reached Austria, l learned, aftel
an exciting rush across from Minsk

country there were two Russian spies

BULLFROG SECTION
Is LOOKING GOOD
DEPUTY SHERIFF DEVINE LOOKS
FOR GREAT INTEREST IN
SOUTHERN COUNTRY.

Thomas D. Devine, deputy sheriff
at Beatty, arrived from the southern
camp yesterday on business connect
ed with his office. He says that a
great many from the Bullfrog coun-
try have joined the rush to Rawhide,
but that there is still plenty of work
going on, and that the district is
looking good.
1T is quiet both at Beatty and
Rhyolite, said he, but there is cou-
siderable work going on in the mills
and in the mines. The Montgomery
Shoshone mill has been closed down
for repairs, but the men are still at
work in the mine. There is some
leasing going on on the Bullfrog
Mining Company property on Ladd
mountain, and the showings are
something wonderful
IF these showings were in tbs
northern parts. they would create
considerable excitement, but it is al
Rawhide, even down there, and there
has been a great bunch that has lief
both Beatty and Rhyolite for the new
gold field. And the majority of then
had bank rolls and were going ther'
for investments. There is prett.
good representation from the Bull
frog district in Rawhide.
But when there comes lull il
the excitement in that part of tn
country, there will be more interes
in the showings at Bullfrog. Their
are several leases being worked o.
the Diamond Queen property, whic'
is eight or nine miles east of Beatty
and they are getting out the GOLD
They are shipping, too, and the las
shipment that went out average
$3.50 ton. The people are very Ell
thusiastic over this work, and TIL
rock is getting better all the time.
