TO SEA POLICE DRIVE HORSES
And Rescue Women and Children or
COney Island.

New York, June 19.-Coney Island
policemen mounted as horse marines
have become valuable adjunct to
the life saving forces at that popular
resort.
Two of the mounted patrolmen,
Edwin Cody and Jas. j. Mcdonald,
who were on regular duty regulating
traffic ashore, distinguished them
selves yesterday when they swan
horses about 800 feet out to sea and
rescued seven persons from dis
abled motor boat.
A thirty-five foot craft was nearly
swamped by choppy sea and two
women in the party with children in
the throng Of promenaders ashore
stood helpless.
BIZ, the two bluecoats mounted on
first-clcss steeds that had been
aughL to swim, did not hesitate for
moment. They wheeled their
chargers, swerved them down over
tn, embankment onto the beach and
plunged into the surf.
The tide was such that the horses
had not gone more than rs feet be-
fore they were "off their legs" and
had to swim. Horses and riders
bobbed up and down half submerged
while crowd on the beach cheered
their efforts.
Cody and Mcdonald not only
reached the craft in time to rescue
the women and children, but went
back second time and towed in the
boat with it's men occupants.
The policemen's horses appeared
to derive dumb pleasure from being
patted and applauded. AS for Cody
and Mcdonald the hot sun soon dried
their trousers and they did not both
er to go off duty until their day was
over.

"GREATLY EXAGGERATED" :"
Hon. w. G. Mauldin, of Pickens, Re-
ported Dead, Still Lives.
(Easley Progress. }

The account of Hon. W. G. Maui
din's death which was published in
several papers last week, the Pro-
gress among the number, seems, as
Mark Twain said about an errone-
GUS notice of his own death on one
occasion, to have been greatly exag-
gerated."
Mr.. Mauldin is still alive at this
time. He suffered stroke of appo-
plexy, it seems, one day last week,
and it was thought that he was
dead, but he recovered. His many
friends throughout the county will
be glad to know that he is still in the
land of the living. In the notice of
his supposed death the Progress
mentioned that he served two years
in the Legislature. 1t should have
said six years, as he served two
consecutive terms and again ono
term (1910-1D. We trust that he
may fully recover and be spared
many more years of usefulness to his
family and country.

The first charge of dynamite
aroused some farmers, and after the
second charge had been fired they
telephoned to the city. Several Off

hurried to the scene. The robbers
were at work when the posse arrived.
The robbers not only started to
