A. j. Cone Distinguishes Himself
When Leinster Is T%orpedoed
by Huns.

Dublin.-A. J. Cone, an American,
Is praised by the survivors Of the
Leinster, which was torpedoed by the
Huns or the day they started their
0vertures for armistice.
He is said to have spared no eff
forts to stay the alarm and confusion
which ensued when the first torpedo
struck the vessel. He passed out life
preservers and worked necessarily at
the boats to get the women and chill
dren away from the big ship In the
lifeboats.
He was assisting at one of the small
boats, when the second torpedo struck
the ship. Mr.. Cone was thrown down.
When he attempted to rise he found
himself disabled. Both his legs had
been broken by the shock.
Then he rolled himself to the edge
of the deck, worked his way through
the guard and dropped into the wa
ter. He was picked up by one Of the
rescuing ships.

FRONTIERSMAN, NEWSPAPER
MAN AND MINER HAS PASSED

The San Francisco Bulletin of De
cember IS contained a death notice
which undoubtedly will be of interest
to some early settlers in this locality
who have known the deceased:
Dispatches from Salem, Oregon, to-
day the death in that city
of J. H. Cradlebaugh, pioneer miner.
frontiersman and distinguished news
D man, who was identified with
the early life in the West and who
was an associate Of Bret Harte and
Mark Twain in his early journalistic
career when the Comstock was az the
zenith of it's popularity and produc-
ton.
As a poet and publisher the late
newspapers man also attained distinc-
ton. At the time the Comstock ex-
citement was at it's height Cradle
baugh amassed a fortune of nearly a
million dollars, but ill-adyised specu-
lation deprived him of enjoying to
the fullest the fruits of his enterprise
and acumen. During his mining ca
reer he was associated with the big
Comstock operators, Sharon and
Flood, and at one time he was district
attorney at Carson City, New.
Later, CradIebaugh removed to Ore
gon, where he was identified with va
rious publications, including newspa-
pers at Hood River, The Dalles, Port
land and Salem. Robert e. Cradle
baugh, a San Francisco newspaper
man, is a son of the pioneer editor.

GRAVES WELL MARKED
French Guard Last Resting
Places of Yanks.
Americans VIII Have No Difficulty In
Finding Graves Of
Relatives.

Paris. Americans will have no
trouble in finding the graves of rela-
tives who fell on the field of battle in
France, after they obtain from the
graves registry bureau the location Of
the interment.
The French are taking excellent care
of the last resting places of Ameri-
cans. Crosses with name plates have
been erected over the burial places OF
every identified man that has fallen.
Usually the steel helmet Of the
man-and it generally has his name
written on the hatband-has been
placed on the gave, together with his
bayonet, thrust into the earth as a
sort Of foot stone. In his canteen
and cartridge belt have been hung
from the cross.
An identity disk is nailed to the
cross, and sometimes papers describ-
ing his Identity and how he fell have
been placed In a corked bottle, the
neck of which is imbedded in the
earth.
There is no danger that French CT
villains in the regions where the men
are buried will appropriate any Of
these articles as souvenirs. -Four long
years of war, with the discarded equip
ment of Germans, British and French
scattered over the terrain has purged
them of all desire or longing for SOU
venirs.
Civilians returning to their she'll
shattered homes have found their front
gardens converted into a cemetery Of
three or four graves. But the graves
have not been molested, on the other
hand, they are kept up by civilians,
who keep the edges trimmed and a
spray of flowers or leaves on the
mound.
Even the children respect the burial
places, and while they may pick up
bayonets or grenades that they find in
the fields they never touch the equip
ment placed on the graves.
