SAVED LIFE
Oliver A. Bray of Sioux Fall Will
Receive Carnegie Medal
and ST., 900.

Sioux Falls, Nov. SOLVER A.
Bray. of this city. has been awarded
a silver medal by the Carnegie hero
commission and 81, 900 in cash, to be
turned over TO him as needed. MI.
Bray has been a resident of Sioux Falls
since September. 1912. He came to
this city from LeMars, Ia, where his
act Of heroism was performed in
| March, 1912, a few months before
taking up his residence here. He
came to Sioux Falls to accept a posi-
tion as b~ookkeeper with the State
Bank & Trust company.
MI. Bray, who is about 23 years of
age. is a worthy. hard working young
man to whom the award OF 81, 600 in
cash will be very acceptable. He Is a
! Young man Of the highest character,
and his close attention to his duties has
won him the esteem of the heads of the
banking concern by which he is en-
ployed.
Citizens of LeMars placed the case
before the Carnegie commission, which
after a thorough investigation of the
case decided that Bray was entitled to
the award. Never since coming to
Sioux Falls has he even mentioned to
Intimate friends his act of heroism.
and no one in Sioux Falls was aware
of the incident until announcement
was made a few days ago that be
had been granted the medal and cash.
The act for which he was awarded
the medal and money occurred on
| March 80, 1919, at LeMars. 1t wac

river at that place. Bray war stand.
ing on "a dam in the river watching the
turbulent waters with other spectators
when Louis Wagner. a ~l5-year-old
boy. who had been poking at chunks
of floating ice with a long stick and
talking to acg%usintances en- the shore,
lost his balance and fell into the
stream. which was about 90 feet deep
Mt that point.
Bray was standing with bis back
toward the point where the boy fell
into the river, and was not aware of
the accident until Wagner's co :
| panions on the shore commenced to
shout. When Bray saw young Wag-
ner fighting for his life In the icy
water, with a strong current and
undertow induced by the food, he
plunged into the stream to the rescue
of the drowning boy. Bray had to
swim about i5G feet in the 10y water
before he could reach and grasp the
boy.
Then with the utmost difficulty he
fought his way inch by inch against
| the undertow with his burden to the
shore. Upon landing safely with the
boy, Bray collapsed from his exertion
and the shock Of the ice cold water.
Although for many years an expert
swimmer. his experience in the rescue
of the boy has given him a dread OF
swimming in deep water.

AUTO MOST DEADLY

Chicago, Nov. 6.-The municipal
reference librarian Of Chicago, Fred.
erick Rex, has taken the trouble to
collect soma statistics regarding fatal
raj way and automobile accidents fol-
the fiscal year 1919, and has drawn
therefrom a few interesting compari.
sons. He finds that the number OF
passengers killed in all ways on al
of the railways of the United States
during the fiscal year ended June 80,
1912 was 270. During the same
period, according to information OBJ
tanned by the Chicago statistical ex'
pert, 691 persons were killed by auto.
mobiles in % American cities having
a population Of 100, 900 or more.
The comparison becomes startling
when it is realized that in the state
of New York alone such cities al

not included. Neither does the list
of 20 cities include all other cities
in other states with population N
ceeding 100, 900. It must be apparent
at once, therefore. that the number Of
automobile fatalities taking the coun'

estimated. Yet. with this incomplete

POPE'S 4TH APPEAL
TO SUPREME COURT
Calhoun Negro Has Several
Times Been Sentenced to
Hang for Murder

Montgomery June 2.--(Speciai.)-For the
fourth time Erwin Pope. negro of CAL
houn county. has appealed to the su-
preme court for another trial after being
sentenced to death four times for the mur-
der of a man named McClurkin. The
transcript In the case was filed with the
supreme court Monday and the case will
be submitted by Pope's attorneys Thurs
day.
The negro has been in the Calhoun
county jail about three years and dur
Ing the greater part Of the time has been
under sentence of death. He has always
maintained that he did not commit the
crime. but juries have considered horse
track and other circumstantial evidence
stronger than Pope's sworn statement
and each time have ordered him put to
death.
Less than six months ago the supreme
court reversed and remanded case in
which Pope was declared guilty because
1t held that there was not enough evil
dence to warrant q death penalty and
there were errors or irregularities IN the
trial.
Then jury was called, Pope was tried
and again death sentence was returned.
The first degree murder indictment
against Pope now shows four entries and
each is: I'VE, the jury. find the defend
ant guilty. and fix as his punishment
death by hanging"
The evidence against Pope Is that he
lay In wait for McClurkin and killed him
when he rode by on q horse. Attorneys
In all parts of Alabama have become
interested in the case because of the hard
fight that has been made and the many
legal questions that have been raised.
