Chicago, Oct. 1O.-Thanks 10 the
heroic sacrifice of BILLY Rugh, Gary
newsboy, who gave up his crippled leg
in order that the life OF a girl whom
he had never known might be saved,
Miss Ethel Smith, a,so of Gary, will
recover from the terrible burns which
she suffered in a motorcycle accident
last month. The boy voluntarily Of
fered his leg that the cuticle might be
transplanted on the burns suffered by
the girl. The operation was perform
ed few days ago. 1t was success
full.
And now Billy suddenly finds him
self a hero. Admirers have sent him
more than 5000 in money, a free life
insurance, offers of enough artificial
limbs to supply a centipede. and fell
citations from all parts of the coun-
try.
AS a climax he has been informed
that citizens of Gary are planning
to place his name on the list of those
to be considered for a Carnegie medal,

as he sits proped up in his cot in
Gary General hospital, heaps of let
tiers before him. why are people SC
good to me? There isn't a man who
has had the heart to send me these
gifts but would have done just as
did, had he been placed in the same
position.
People talk about the word being
hard and cruel-there's nothing t6
it. The world is kind and good. This
is going to be the making of me. With

meant any harm.
Unable TO make Mrs. Booser under
stand because of her deafness, Philpot
began to write love notes to her and
leave them on the porch of the Boo

AS soon as the purpose of the notes

ried them to her brother and also told
him of Philpot's actions before he be-

The brother told Booser and he at
once armed himself and went in

drew a pistol as soon as he saw Boo
