Top Hog Prices.

a slump of 30 cents in hog prices
was the feature of the days trading
at the North Portland yards. Receipts
during the night were average, but
outside buyers to a great extent were
absent and with local killers having
their own way. the decline had to
come. Excellent quality lights in sew
eral instances went at 50, which was
the top mark of the day.
Other sales were average and on the
whole the cattle situation presented
was steady steer prices were rather
under the recognized values of last
week, but the weakness is laid to the
quality rather than the demand. A
weakening tendency in the cattle trade
today, however lay in the receipts Of
the night. which were the largest for
any Monday in weeks.
Two choice Oregon calves brought
50. the best value brought out during
the days trading.

occurred within five minutes after
the young people entered the water
AS stated above, they were lined up
and down the creek on the narrow
sandbar. Mr.. Thompkins was back

the ladies' some idea of the depth.
Miss Susie Geise followed immedi-

Miss Gleaton was a few feet further

Wilkinson remarked to Mr.. Thomp-

because you don't know it as we'll as

about in the stream" By the time
these words were spoken Mr.. Thomp-
kins stepped backwards in six feet
of water. 1t is thought that he reas-
oned Miss Geise had done the same
thing and she was carried under at
the same time. Miss Wilkinson
reached to aid Miss Geise and she was
carried under with the other two.
By the time they came up again they
had drifted some distance in the
swift current and realized their dan

Griffin. who was near the bank at
the time. and Mr.. Griffin began his

COTTON DOING WELL, AND CORN
is NOW BEYOND DANGER.

Encouraging Reports Reach Dawson
From All Over Southwest Geor-
gia. Bumper Yields Promised.
Farmers visiting Dawson report
that the crops of this section are in
exceptionally promising condition.
The seasons the past three or four
weeks have been just right. There
has been ample time for cultivation,
with the results that the farms are
now thoroughly clean and in almost
perfect condition.
Cotton is growing rapidly, and the
indications now are that very large
yield will be made.
The corn crop is reported unusu-
ally good, except in few spots
where 1t suffered from drouth. There
has been a large acreage planted,
and it gives promise of an abundant
yield. This crop is practically made,
the rains having fallen just right
to make the corn grow and flourish.
Judge NJ. G. Statham, who has
Just returned from a trip through
several neighboring counties, states
that the crops in general were prob
ably never more promising at this
time of the year than at present.

the bank of the stream 210 feet and
plunged into the stream opposite the
point where his daughter was strug-
CLING for life. He did not take time
to remove any clothing, He was in
20 feet of his daughter when Mr..
Griffin rescued Miss Wilkinson. The
underground is very thick on the
banks, and Mr.. Griffin reasoned that
he could not take time to work his
way to the bank with Miss Wilkin-
son. She was left hanging to limb
in seven feet of water, and remarked
to Mr.. Griffin: II can hang here
now, 90 to Susie" Mr. Griffin swan
to where Mr.. Geise was making a
desperate effort to save his child.
Mr.. Geise was exhausted and could
not keep his head above the water.
Mr.. Griffin seized Miss Geise by the
hair. saving: II have Susie, Mr..
Geise: come on to the bank. But
Mr.. Geise's strength had failed him
and he sank for the last time before
he could be aided. Mr.. Griffin car
ried Susie ashore, and swan to the
limb where Miss Wilkinson was
hanging and carried her to the bank.
The two girls were left alone on the
opposite side of the creek to which
they had entered Mr.. Griffin swan

about fifteen feet from the bank. Mr..
Thompkins was said to be an expert
! Swimmer and the spectators were al
loss as to why he could not swim
out. 1t is not known whether he was
seized with cramp or whether, when
the three went down together, his
strength was exhausted.
Drowned Sixty Feet Apart.
Mr.. Thompkins and Mr.. Geise were
drowned sixty feet apart. Mr.. Grit
fin left his wife and swan a distance
of 225 feet and dived for Mr.. Thomp-
kins' body until he was taking a
great risk. Mr.. Jesse Goodman ar
rived on the scene and went to Miss
GleatOn's rescue, who bad remained
on the sand bar all the while. She
was frantical, and had it not been
for the pleadings of those on the
banks she would probably have gone
into the deep water after her friends.
Mr.. Thompkins' body was recover
ed in about one hour and a half
while Mr.. Geise's body was not found
until ten hours later The awful
tragedy has cast a gloom over the
entire community, where Mr.. Geise
was universally known and es-
teemed.
Mr.. Griffin's Heroism.
Too much praise cannot be said in
Mr.. Grifin's behalf. He went about
his work of saving lives in a calm,
matter of fact way, and he exhibited
heroism that one rarely sees in life

worked was wonderful, making sure

The party left the town of Milford
about four o'clock in the afternoon
and went a quarter of mile distant
to the bathing place, about 400 yards
below the bridge. The stream was
swollen to a height of eighteen
inches or two feet above its normal
condition, and was rather swift and
muddy. At this point the stream is
one hundred feet wide, and every
one who knows anything of Notcha-
way creek understands that the
depth varies greatly and that the
stream is otherwise treacherous. the
party was composed of Mrs. B. A
Sheffield, Mrs. H. G. Sheffield, Mrs.
Wilder and Mr.. J. D. Geise, all OF
whom were on the banks. The re-

sixteen losses amounting to So

The company has been in success
