GIRL SAVES GARTER

NEARLY LOST LIFE

OAKLAND, GAIA garter that
slipped at the wrong woment nearly
wrecked Oakland's 5000 patrol
wagon.
The wagon was answering hurry
call. In the centet-of the downtown
district a girl gowned in silk and
furs started across the street Hall
way over she halted. turned pale and
made wild clutch for her knee.
Persons shouted a warning. but the
girl was oblyious. She stopped over
and began to tumble. The patrol
wagon opened its siren, executed a
fancy curve, missed the girl by an
inch. carrened past a telephone pole
by a narrow margin and righted
again.
Then only did the girl straighten
up, bring something blue into view
and continue modestly on her way.
She got the garter, but the patrol
wagon driver got the scare OF his life.

night behind prison bars for vio-

arose and had breakfast with the
other prisoners in the institution,
after which, until II o'clock, he
was free within the prison until
II o'clock, when he was called be-
fore Warden J. Z. Terrell, who
said:

teleWtisss from friends who ex-
pressed sympathy for him in his
imprisonment. After reading .he

"Debs, all we are going TO ex-
