GAVE HIS BLOOD
TO SAVE WIFE
SENATOR LUKE LEA or TENNEs-
SEE RELIEVED OF QUART OF
LIFE FLUID.

Washington, June 2o,-United States
Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee. to
save the life Of his stricken wife, he
roically sacrificed a quart of his blood
at Georgetown hospital yesterday and
hope for Mrs. Lea's recovery, which
had almost been abandoned, is prac-
tically assured the anxious youngest
senator of the nation as he lies near
the bedside of his wife, recuperating
his strength.
Mrs Lea's condition, serious for
some time became alarming Sunday
after the operation the day before.
Her strength. because of the lack OF
blood, was gone and vitality was fast
ebbing away. Lea, upon learning of
her condition, demanded that trans
fusion operation be performed and
prepared at once to submit to the or
deal. The attending physicians and
surgeons made arrangements immed-
lately and the operation which fol-
lowed was declared to have been very
successful.
Lea withstood the operation well,
though it left him so weakened that
for hours he could not stand alone
but the qualification Of the revivify-
ing effect II had upon his wife was in
expressible. Surgeons assured him
that without the sacrifice which he
made Mrs. Lea could have lived but
few hours. Both are tonight In
Georgetown university hospital. It viii
be two or three days before Mrs. Lea
is altogether out of danger. At pres
emit her symptoms are favorable, al
though she is still very weak. Sena-
tor Lea is confined to his bed at the
hospital, his vitality being reduced py

pected, however, that he win be aole
to leave his room in a few days.

LUCKY ESCAPE
FOR LITTLE Lad

Grand Forks. N. D.. June 20.-What
might have resulted in a fatal accident
occurred yesterday afternoon at the
corner Of Fourth street and DeMers
avenue, when Jacob Yogel, aged 9
years, riding a bicycle, had head-on
collision with an automobile driven BY
Ole Lien. The collision was an acci-
dent and fortunately Jake" was
knocked to the pavement in such a
way that the wheels of the automobile
did not touch him. Bystanders expect
ed to see the little fellow badly i'm
jured, but as the auto stopped Jake
crawled out from the rear with a
bloody nose, and wanted to know what
happened to the bicycle. Louis Rosoff,
proprietor Of the corner drugstore, wit
messed the accident and hurried the lit
tie fellow into the drugstore expecting
that he had suffered injuries Of some
kind. It was found that there was a
hruise ON his back but 1t was not be-
lieved to be serious. The lad seemed
to be more worried over the fact that
the bicycle. which he had borrowed
from a messenger boy, was broken than
he did over the narrowness of his own
escape from what might have proven
fatal injuries.
The whole affair was an accident.
The automobile was turning west on
DeMers at its junction with Fourth
street when the boy on the bicycle
lodging around the sprinkling tank
came in front of the auto without
warning. The driver Immediately
brought the machine to stop but not
before it had practically passed over
the boy who was thrown to the pave.

PETRIFIED CLAM IN
CENTER OF ROCK.

New England Herald: A queer
freak of nature was discovered by
Alvie Culver while at work put
ting in the stone foundation at
the Mckenzie store one day last
week, and Mr.. Culver is now in
possession of a petrifed clam that
must be hundreds of years old.
The clam was found IN the CEN
ter OF a huge rock which was
cracked open with a sledge so that
1t would fit in the wall. The rock
resembles granite In hardness but
Is several shades darker and has
a little finer grain. When the stone
cracked Mr.. Culver and several
spectators were greatly surprised
to see a perfect half of clam
shell on one side and the other
half of the shell, with petrified
clam, in the other part of the rock.
The petrified clam was removed
from the half shell without diff
Guilty, leaving a half shell In each
piece of rock. The shell itself is
like any ordinary clam she'll and
doesn't appear to be petrified like
the clam inside.
Several other rocks of the same
kind were broken open and where
they cracked open leaves were
found. The leaves are now a part
of the stone, however, every stem
and flber of the leaf shows as
plainly and looks as natural as the
day it fell from the tree.
G.. A. Graeber has a number of
fine specimens of petrified leaves
imbedded in solid rock, which ne
found in a coal mine several miles
east of town, but it would be hard
10 find a specimen that would beat
Mr.. Culver's petrified clam.
