GUNNER'S MATE A HERO.
RisIed His Life Over and Over to Save
Comrade.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Cool courage
and strong nerves were exhibited by
Emile Falk, a gunner's mate on the
battleship Iowa, September 1. when he
plunged overheard between the steel
hull of the battleship and a lighter
alongside from which she was coaling,
in the effort to- save the life of ship
mate, James E. Stanley. The Iowa
was lying off Annapolis at the time and
Stanley, falling from the forecastle of
the ship, was stunned by striking the
lighter and slipping between the two
vessels was drowned.
Falk dived several times to see If
the body could have come uD under
the lighter. This act, Acting Secretary
Nicholson declared, was fraught with
the greatest danger, due not only to
the probability of being crushed be-
tween the hulls but also to the prob
ability of drowning by being caught
underneath the lighter. In acknowl-
edgment of his bravery, the navy de-
partment has commended in the high
est terms the conduct of Falk, who is
a resident of Midtown, N. j.

HE'S HUNTING A REQUEST
VIM. HUMPHREYS Thinks Some One
Left Him 1000.

In search of a bequest of $1,000
which he thinks was left him by a
man whose life he saved when, as
boys twenty-five years ago, they were
swimming together at Douglass, Kan,
VIM. HUMPHREYS of Ouray, Colo, has
just addressed circular letter to
Probate Judge W. F. Schoch of Shaw
nee county. HUMPHREYS relates that
he has heard that some time ago
some one had advertised for him in
order to deliver to him bequest. He
never, himself, saw the advertisement
and has no idea from whom the mon
ey might come, unless from one of
three boys whom he rescued from the
river. He explains that his recollec-
ton of saving the boys from drown
ing 25 years ago is not very distinct.
The name of one was Barnes, while
another was Francis Moffat. The name
of the third he has forgotten. He
says that he remembered being told
as a boy that he would be rewarded
by the father of the Barnes boy.
HUMPHREYS offers reward to any,
one who, having seen the advertise
ment, can indicate to him where he
can get possession of the bequest.
