BRIDE SAVES LIFE
OF HER HUSBAND
Samuel B. Brooks Rescued
At Minnehaha Falls In
Remarkable Manner.

Cottagers at Minnehaha Falls and
their guests yesterday afternoon were
witnesses to a rescue which had sew
eral unusual features.
Samuel B. Brooks and his bride, to.
gether with Paul Armstrong and an
other young woman, padded up to the
falls and then the men slipped into the
water the canoe with the ladies was
driven toward the shore. Armstrong,
who is a good swimmer and thorough
~ familiar with the currents soon
swan out but Brooks was caught be.
tween the surface current and the
strong undertow and first rendered
powerless and then sucked under wa
ter in FULL view OF those on the shore.
|, 1t seemed as il there was nothing
that could be done but at that stage
Mrs. Brooks, who was still in the
canoe, managed to reach the spot
where her husband was last seen and
thrust down a paddle as deep as she
could-and Brooks grasped it with the
never-let.go grip of the drowning.
With heave Mrs. Brooks brought
paddle End husband to the surface.
BY that time assistance had arrived
and Brooks was taken to the shore and
given first aid treatment. He was in
serious condition but responded and
in few hours was littlo the worse for
his close shave with death.

TWO FAIRNONT
CONGREGATIONS
CLOSE THE YEAR
Williams Memorial and U.
P Temple Had Very Sue
cessfuR II Months.

Yesterday was the final Sunday Of
che present conference year for the
Williams Memorial NJ. Z. church.
South, and the NJ. P. Temple. Re-
ports of the fiscal year were presented
to the congregations.
Reverend R. T. Webb, pastor of the
NJ. E. church, South, presented the
best report that has ever been sub.
mitted to the congregation. The re.
port shows that during the year over
$4,000 was raised for the purpose OF
the church This is the largest
amount that has ever been subscribed
for at that church in one year and
speaks we'll for the efforts of the
pastor. Mr.. Webb leaves today for
Louisa, Kentucky, where he will at
tend the conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal pastors of Western Virginia.
At these conferences the appoint.
ments for the coming year are made
by the Bishop and presiding elders.
j. is probable that Mr.. Webb will
again be appointed to fill the parson-
age at the local church as the con.
gregation is very anxious to have him
retained here. Plans are being COM
pleted for the erection Of a new and
commodious church to take the place
of the present one which is entirely
too small for the present congrega-
ton. However, work on the new
church will not be begun until after
the war when conditions become nor.
NAL again.

SEVEN TRAFFICLA
CASES UP TODAY
Despite Testimony of Two
Witnesses One Speeder
Will Appeal.

The temperature must have been
just right yesterday for speeding, but
because of the recent rains the roads
outside of the city limits were not SO
good. Consequently Fairmont avenue
proved very popular for speeders.
When Mayor Bowen and Chief Harr
took their seats around the judgment
desk in the police court room this
morning, they found just seven traffic
cases on record.
Johz Cochran was before the mayor
for driving over thirty miles per hour
down Fairmont avenue. The case was
reported by DR.. c. o. Henry who re-
sides between Fifth and Sixth streets.
Dr.. Henry and J. II. Beckman who
also saw the violation were both at po.
lice court this morning to testify in
the case. Cochran denied going over
eighteen miles per hour nd expressed
his intentions Of ape ng the case
aftec being fined five RS. The fine
was increased to ten dollars for an
appeal to be made.
Lamar Satterfeld was summoned to
appear by Policeman Ward for speed
ing out Fairmont avenue. He ap.
peared at court and not denying the
charges was given fine of five dol,
lars.
C. H. Hawkins did not appear
against charges OF making twenty
miles per hour out Fairmont avenue,
but sent word that he desired the case
continued to have witnesses testify
Paul Blanchard, colored, the only
one Of the seven violators to be dis,
missed appeared on charges Of run,
ming into farmer coming to town with
a wagon load Of farm products. The
collision was not at all wilfull and as
no damage was done the case was dis,
missed. Tho farmer is Luke Rodgers

with an open cut out. He did not deny
the charges and was given q fine
amounting to two dollars.

Riga, Russia's principal Baltic port,
has been abandoned to the Germans
under stress of an offensive by land
and sea in which the deciding stroke
on the land side Sas delivered by the
Germans last Saturday.
The fate of Riga was virtually sealed
when German troops, powerfully mi
tiating their offensive, forced cross
ing on the Dvina southeast OF the city
and began to push northward after
making good their foothold on the
right bank of the stream. Menaced
also by the attack of column Of Teu-
tonic forces moving from Mitau south
west of Riga and by the German ma
val forces recently reported lowering
in the vicinity of the Gulf of Riga, the
Russian military authorities consid-
Grad the city no longer tenable and de-
cided to evactuate.
The possible alternate military con.
sequences Of this development are diff
ficult to estimate. The right flank Of
the entire Russian western front was
anchored on the Gulf of Riga, at a
point to the west of the city and with
this lost the possible strategical devel-
opments Of the situation seem infinite.
Much depends on the purpose OF the
Germans and the size of the forces at
their disposal for operations in this
war theatre. 1t is too early yet for It
to be made apparent whether they win
be content at present with occupation
of the Baltic seaport the Russians
have left them, or If the advantage is
TO be pushed and attempt made to
swing back entire Russian line on this
