GETS MEDAL AS BRAVE MAN
Young Englishman Plunges Into tho
Gas-Laden Hold Of Ship and
Rescues Three.

Yonkers. N. Y.-Thomas A. Broad
bent, a slender young Englishman who
came to work as a machinist in fac
tory here six months ago. has just re-
ceived kings medal from the British
government in recognition of his hav-
ing performed "the most heroic act OF
the year 1909 in all the English mari
time service"
Broadbent was on the ship Fantee,
which left Liverpool for the west coast
of Africa. or Cape Palmas, Liberia,
the ship ran upon reef and It became
necessary for all hands to get to work
shifting the cargo. The cargo In
cluded some Jars OF an acid. which
when mixed with water generated a
deadly gas. In lower hold. where six
men were working, the ships carpen-
ter. the captain and the first mate. in
hailed the gas and dropped dead.
Three seamen who were just outside
the death zone fell unconscious. When
this was discovered there were calls
for volunteers to bring back the living.
Broadbent volunteered and, with a
rope about his middle, was lowered IN
TO the chamber OF death.
One at time. he brought the three
sailors to the fresh air and then, bare
ly conscious, he was lowered again at
his own request TO bring up the cap
tain's body.
This time he collapsed and was de-
lirlous for FIVE weeks. The ship itself
subsequently was succored by another
British vessel and Broadbent came to
this country.

Then Mr.. Ardmore returned to his

the returns.
The east part of the county
seems to have a better prospect
for wheat than any other part at
this time. More of the wheat
there was sown mediumly early
than in other parts of the county
and that sowing of wheat is every
where better than either the
very early or the later sown
wheat. Reports from the south
are also flattering, but compare
lively little grain is grown there

ing acreage of wheat sown there
The western part seems to have

is not as good as that sown later.
The medium sown there, as in
other places, is the best. The
large amount on each farm also
tended to carry the seeding later
before it was finished, and that
is not so good. The above COM
parative conditions do not mean
that there is not prospect at
this time for a large crop in the
county. The best wheat is
superfne and the medium IS
above the average, while the
poorest is showing indications
for a profitable crop. This is
given out with the full know
ledge that conditions from now
on may change the result en-
tirely. There are many large
fields of wheat in the county,
which with extra favorable con
ditions are good for forty bushels
to the acre, aud with fair condi'

which under the best conditions
would not make over fifteen, and
with unfavorable or only ordi-
nary conditions from now till
harvest would fall as low as eight
bushels.
Taken at large, the conditions
are favorable for large yield.
The best fields have grown rank
and thick which if it should come
off dry would suffer from the
dry weather more than fields
which do not now promise so
much. Potatoes and other veg
etables are in fine shape. Gar
dens are mostly good. Fruit
was hurt by the late frost, and
queerly, the apples suffered
more than the peaches. Many
peach orchards are well loaded
with fruit. Grapes and native
currants have good crops,
Strawberries are now ripening
with heavy loads of fine fruit
Corn, kafiir corn, broom corn
and cane have been retarded by
the cool wet weather. Pasture
is good; hay will be fair crop
Altogether Meade county has as
good prospects as one could ask
for as to crops at this season.
