with lightning speed, putting the ball IN

Their work was finished in every detail
and it was a delight to watch the skillful
mastery of the science in the game. The
pass work, and handling the ball around
that goal proved that the little team from
Georgia is more than likely the fastest
in Dixie this year.
The first half ended 22-9 Peddy for

BRAVE DEED OF BRAKEMAN
SAVED BOYS INSTANT DEATH
Robert Young's Brave Act to Rescue
Little Ray Benham.

One of the bravest acts ever per-
formed in this city was that last
evening by Robert Young, brake
man on the Union Pacific freight, In
saving from instant death Ray Ben
ham, aged 8 years, grandson OF Mr'
and Mrs. J. P. Powell The lad was
crossing the track at Cedar holding
an umbrella, when string OF cars
backing down came upon him and
struck the boy as he was between
the rails. The boy was knocked
down and the first axle of the freight
car passed over him when Young
who saw the accident did what few
men would or could have done. He
made a dash under the moving car
and seized the boy with one hand.
His other arm he threw around the
axle of the car as 1t passed over
them and held on dragging himself
and the boy over the ties half a
block beneath the car until the
string of cares stopped. The engineer
did not know anything had happened
It was pure courage and Mr.. Young
deserves all possible honor for his
noble deed.
Mr.. Young seemed unconscious OF
the rare courage of his act and went
on with his work as usual. He
should have proper recognition for
he deserves it.
The boy was cared for by the
roads surgeon, DR.. Felty. His limbs
are severely cut but no bones are
broken. 1t is possible that he may
not recover owing to the serious in
juries received but hopes are en-
tertained that he will.
