3 NEAR DEATH
Atlantic City Party Rescued
by Clam Diggers.

Atlantic City, Aug. ia damaged
steering gear nearly caused the death
of Harry R. McCuen Of Baltimore and
Charles Morrison and Daniel Bowers
of Pleasantville in Laue's bay, three
miles from this city. The trio were
rescued from the water by clammers,
who rushed to their assistance. Nc
Cuen had crashed into a rowboat In
which were Bowers and Morrison.
The Baltimorean Is now In the hands
of q physician, suffering from severe
cuts and bruises about the head and
body, which rendered him unconscious
for an hour.
McCuen, who is summering at Pleas
a~ntville, hired q motorboat. He was
unfamiliar with the channels of thor
oughfare and several times ran
aground. This injured the steering
ropes, but the Baltimorean did not
the rowboat while travelling about If
teen miles an hour.
Then something snapped and the
rudder refused to respond to the twirl
Of the helm. The m%otorboat crashed
into the skif, almost cleaving 1t in
halves.
The sudden stoppage of the motor
boat when the rudder caught in the
anchor rope Of the skif catapulted
McCuen through the air. He landed on
his head on the forward part of the
rowboat and dropped like a log back
into the water.
Morrison and Bowers swan to the
rescue. They were holding him above
water when the two clam dlggers came
to the rescue.

Struggle to Get Through College.

During this period he occupied his evenings
and leisure hours fitting himself for college. Just
how he was going to get to college and how he was
going to defray his expenses after he got there was
question which, the circumstances, might have
seemed insurmountable to a less resolute lad, but
Grenville Mellen Dodge seems to have been born
conauerer OF obstacles and he eventually not only
fitted himself for college in intellectual way but
was also, through close saving fortified with the
necessary funds
During the winter of 1S45-46 he attended Durham
academy, New Hampshire, and the next year entered
Norwich university Of Vermont in the military and
scientific course. From this school he earned a
dipoma and made a cum laude record in civil
cheering Following this he took in Captain
Partrldges Military school in Norwich.
Leaving school at the of 20 years-a time
when the average young man Of today is putting
varsity twist on rakish soft hatyoung Dodge left
his native surroundings and came west 70 Peru, ILL.,,
where a part OF the year he was engaged in land
surveys. In the fall of 1853 he made his first trip
to the Missouri river region. Council Bluffs was
KanesvIe then and Omaha yet a wigwam ham
let. Standing the river bank on the Iowa side
young Dodge looked across at the primitive site of
Omaha in bewiIderment The spirit of adventure
prompted him to wonder what beyond the river
and his first landing Nebraska soil made from
an improvised raft which carried him across the
muddy stream.
Omaha daily bee., 1911-04-09

Eighty years is a long while in the life Of man,
and within that period the customs of this country
have undergone radical change-but General Dodge
has borrowing from everyday vernacular, kept up
with the procession" and that is perhaps Of the
reasons why, at the age of so, he is apparently
older than many a man of 60.
There will be formal program a part of
General Dodges eighteth birthday celebration The
old warrior will go to his office as usual in the
morning, will take his regulation time-off for
day luncheon and returning in the afternoon, will
go through with his regular routine just he does
every other day. Obviously, he is believer in the
Joe Medn theory that It is better to out than
TO rust out"
Work seems to be recreation for General Dodge,
and the vexatous problems of this work-a-day world
that send many younger away TO the springs
or to the neurologst, much tonic to him.
In fact It is idle extravaganza to catalogue General
Dodge as a genius, for any with his military
record must by the very of things, be genius
in war; and any who has built as many miles
OF railroad General Dodge has built stands
out as a constructive genius. Thus a remarkable
versatility in the makeup OF the is at once in
evidence for whether commanding troops the bat
tlefield or surveying route for railroad it
makes no difference which, this is equipond-
Grant in either role Most Of genius work in one
groove but General Dodge has distinguished himself
in two distinct lnes-raroading and fighting-and
has found time aside from these two occupations to
build up a successful real estate business He has
also been identified with banking interests the city
across the river while by means rich as riches
are measured in this money age, he is what the world
calls '.Wellto-do"

way to 90 It. General Dodge maintained from the
very beginning that the Union Pacific project was
feasible and he proceeded to bolster up the faith OF
Lincoln to such extent that he thoroughly inn
bued with the idea that the Union Pacific must be built
Perhaps Generals Grant and Sherman thought more in
the of personal friendship General Dodge than
Of any other in the union service So long
as Grant and Sherman lived General Dodge saw them
at frequent intervals, and he of the prominent
figures at the Grant funeral his archives General
Dodge has numerous letters from Grant, Sherman,
Logan and others, whose names few years ago were
prominently before the entire nation. In 1871 Just
before departing for Europe a vacation tour Gem
eral Dodge received a warm personal letter from
General Sherman enclosing note Of introduction adj
dressed to all United States consuls abroad. This
letter follows;
Headquarters Army of the United States Wash
ington, d. c.. April 20, 1S7z-To United States Con-
suls Abroad: ! learn that General G. NJ Dodge ia
about going to Europe where he may leave his chill
