John Stapleton, a carrier boy, en-
ployed by the Derrick, was probably
saved from drowning in Morans eddy
Sunday afternoon by Harold MeKeen, a
young man OF Nebraska, Forest county,
who is making a trip to Pittsburg on a
raft. Stapleton was in a canoe near the
head of the eddy, and his craft was over
turned by a big wave raised by the high
wind. Staplelon ordinarily is a strong
swimmer, but his shoes and garments
became filled with water before he could
gain the timber raft moored near the
Joseph Reid Gas Engine works. McKeen
saw his distress and, ripping up one Of
the long planks of the raft, he showed il
out TO the distressed swimmer and
dragged him aboard. Stapleton was SC
little affected by his experience that he
was able to run from the eddy TO the
street railway bridge near Reno, where
he recovered his floating canoe.-Derrick
