HEROIC ACT
IN 1866 JUST
BRINGS REWARD
Relative of Rev. G. W. Broome Gets
Pension From England

The publication Of story i'm The
News last evening relative To the pos
session of a war medal by Calumet
white wing, who was thus honored for
services in the Crimcan war recalled
to pioneers the fact that Miles Holt,
the father in-law OF Rev. George w.
Broome. has at this late day, been re-
wardcd for heroism in 1866. There are
no bronze medals attached to his re-
ward, but Il pension in the shape of a
check for So per month will come to
him during the remainder of his life.
Mr.. Holt is "A native of Bardsley,
Yorkshire, England where, at the age
Of sixteen, he assisted in the rescue OF
miners who were entombed in the
Cakes coal mine. The accident oc-
CURED on December II, 1866, when
close to 400 mines met their death.
Mr. Holt was engaged as a surface
employe at the time and Immediately
after an explosion, he rushed into the
mine.
In the shaft at the time were 365
workmen and only twenty-five were
taken to surface. OF the number, only
two survived. With other workmen,
Mr.. Holt endeavored to release the
victims and he worked continually un-
til the following morning. Meanwhile
expert engineers were summoned and
the .escue work continued. Early on
the morning of the 18th, Mr.. Holt
came To surface TO secure breakfast
and during this interval, a second ex-
plosion occurred, killing all of the res
Cuers.
AS is customary i'm English mining
camps, collection for dependents was
taken and a considerable sum was
raised. This amount was to he APP
propriated to the families of the min
ers and the remainder was to be given
to employees who assisted in rescue
work. Time passed and a few years
after Mr.. Holt migrated to the United
States, settling i'm Illinois. At LaSalle,
he found employment in a coal mine
and until "A short time ago. he was thus
occupied.
About six months ago, neighbor of
Mr.. Holt was perusing an English
newspaper and his attention was called
TO an article referring to the Cakes
coal mine disaster. The reader Curl
ously inquired of Mr.. Holt if he re-
membered the incident and it then be-
came known that the latter was one
OF the rescuers. Without the knowl-
edge of Mr.. Holt, attention was called
to the Cakes concern of the fact that
he resided in this country, and the
English mine officials conducted an
inquiry When they established the
facts, the pension was provided and
Mr.. Holt will continue to be rewarded
for his services.
incidentally, Mr.. Holt and his wife
are temporarily residing with Rev.
Broome. They will return To their
home in LaSalle early in September.

con the Verge of War;" a Bison
three part drama, the plot of which Is
laid i'm San Diego and Mexico. is the
peoples feature. The story revolves
about intricate situations and bit OF
romance gives it an unusually interest
ing color.
Pedro Willard is advised by his
brother, Jose. that the base of Ameri-
can operations on the West Coast must
ne ascertained at once, and at any cost
pedros operations do not fully develop
until he learns that Lieutenant Free
man L.. :. n. has been detailed to
make a tissue tracing of the plans.
While racking his brain for method

into a theatre. There he sees Profess
sor Polar, n hypnotist, accomplish re-
markable results along the line of the
occult, using for his subject a young
woman whom he advertises as his
daughter.
Immediately, Willard enlists the SER
vices Of the hypnotist. The young
woman is placed in a trance and sent
to Freeman's home i'm answer to an ad
calling for seamstress. She is en-
ployed; her movements i'm the house
are controlled from distance of Po-
lari. Under his directions, she steals
the tracings. The theft is almost i'm
mediately discovered, and to cover her
act the girl sews the papers up i'm the
lining OF an opera cloak Mrs Freeman
intends to wear at the charity ball.
Controlling the girl at a distance has
been a great strain upon the hypnotist
At his side the spy is breathlessly
awaiting for information. BY means
of telepathic waves the hypnotist reads

can go no further He collapses and
dies
In the meantime Lieut.. Freeman dis

plccs are captured, but he escapes aft
where he meets death for failing in
his mission. The girl. now free, is TAX
en- under the care OF Freeman and his
mother; and there is "a suggestion of
romance to come between the young
people.

DITCH DIGGING UNDER BAN.
Village to Compel Plumbers to Secure
License Before Beginning Work.

ElGCnoc DtlSiC Gt0innln1 WORK.
Because of the receipt of numerous
complaints relative. to the activities Of
plumbers who fail to secure license
from the village Marshal James Wills
has been instructed TO vigorously en-
force this ordinance and a few small
contracts in various parts of the town
have ben halted until the contractors
elect To come within the provisions of
the law. The complaints originated
through the digging Of bitches which
the contractors left untitled and be-
cause of this, the pavement has broken
ana property owners have been COM
PEELED to meet the expense of repairs.
In several instances, bitches have
been dug beneath the sidewalk and
after laying pipe, the trenches were
hastily filled, leaving a space beneath
the concrete. Invariably, the pavement
sunk beneath the weight of traffic and
it then was up To- the property owner
to repair the walk. TO prevent such
an occurrence, the council has deter
mined to enforce the ordinance.
The trustees also have decided To
enforce an ordinance which provides
for the furnishing of a bond by plumb
ers TO guard against accidents which
may occur on the streets or alleys
while they are working on a contract.
Danger signals must he placed at each
excavation and in the event that an
accident occurs, the contractor and no:
the village, will be responsible,

THE MOZART QUARTET
Give Pleasing Concert Monday Eve
ming at Green Street Church.

The Mozart dadies) Quartet of Boston
rendered an excellent musical program
and won applause from their audience
Monday evening at the Green Street
Methodist church. The program was va
ried in such a manner that it held the
attention of ALL. The first part included
solos, duets and quartets, and the second
part consisted of a musical sketch en-
titled Madam Trillie's Dilemma" which
was written especially for the quartet
by Trastus Osgood.
The artists were Myra Louise -Eekhoff,
Mabel Banks Wilson, Bertha Putney
Dudley and Mabel Florence Tenney.
Each of these ladies possessed an excel
lent voice and in the quartet the fine
blending of the voices was very pleasing.
The quartet opened the program of the
evening with a selection entitled Bird
Songs and the imitation of the songs
of the birds was so good that the audi
ence was captivated from the first. Bar
carolle, from Tales of Hoffman," rem
dered with piano, mandolin and guitar
accompaniment proved to be a favorite
and won many favorable comments.
1t was in the rendering of the old mel
odies, however, that the quartet made
their greatest hit, and their rendering of
"Old Black joe, and 1.-THE Danube
River was thoroughly appreciated by
every music lover present.
