 OF HEROIC ACTS
Prevented Destruction of Mine at the Hands of
 Radicals

Oklahoma City, Jan. 24.-For ex- crptional bravery in saving a coal mine from destruction at the hands Of supposed labor radicals, Tom Lane, q life-term convict from Le Fibre county, Okla, will probably receive full pardon from Governor Robertson.
 Lane was convicted for murder two years ago. The circumstances of the crime are said to have been ex- tenuating.
 When the state took over all coal mines and declared martial law in the McAlester district, Lane was one of the first convicts to volun- teer for labor in the shaft mines. An experienced miner, he gained the attention of state officials by his untiring zeal.
 After working all one day Lane volunteered that night to help guard the mine. It was bitterly cold, and showing. The convict maintained a close vigil, as it was known that threats to destroy the mine had been made, presumably by partisans of striking miners.
 few minutes before midnight Lane sensed pungent odor of smoke coming from the direction ot the mouth of the mine. The smell became much stronger as he hasten ed towards the opening. When he laached the mines mouth he found "a thick volume of smoke pouring forth.
 Lane did not hesitate Wettine his handkerchief, he bound it ovel his nose and lowered himself unaid. ed into the shaft. Arriving at tn, bottom: he stepped into one of tho labyrinths, which wa sfree of fumes to recover his breath. Fortune ia vored him, for he found two buck cts lying on the floor. Filling then with water, he fought his way tt the fire and emptied his buckets Three trips he made before the las spark was put out. Then he gropet his way to the automatic fans ant turned them on. In few minute: the mine was cleared of smoke.
 Mine officials, in commenting ol Lanes bravery, said his quick actiol saved the mine from destruction Had he hesitated, or had the fire been discovered 15 minutes later, i would have been necessary to eithe seal the mouth or flood the min, with water Either extremity would have caused great loss.

 A picture of James D. Lester was later printed in the monthly maga zine of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Bremen and Enginemen, with instructions that if any member of the brotherhood knew of the whereabouts of Mueller they were to inform their local officials. 4 Springfield member of the brother hood recognized the picture as a likeness of Karl Mueller held in thie city. The Texas authorities worked on this clew and have since been able to produce several former ac- Guajntances of Lester who also have identified Mueller as Lester.
 The case has progressed until little doubt is entertained bv authorities that Mueller is in reality Lester. Cole said.
 Believes He Has Proof.
 Attorney Cole went to Houston where he will ask Mrs. Lester to withdraw her claims against the three insurance companies. Attor- ney Cole stated that he believed he had proven conclusivelv that Lester still lives and therefore Mrs. Lester had no claims against the insurance companies.
 In the first suit aeainst the Inter national Life Insurance company Mrs. Lester was allowed $2.500 bv 9 inry in the circuit court at Houston The case was appealed and the de cision reversed when it was learned that additional information had been obtained. The claims against the other companies amount to $5.O00.

She gave him everything his little
heart desired. But still she was often
inclined to tease him and whenever
he showed resentment she leased him
still further by threatening to take
away something she had given him.
The other night she began her
usual teasing, taking for the subject
herself and her charms. "Why, jim
nile thinks I'm a wonder" and she
turned to little James provokingly and
asked: Don't you think I'm pretty
Don't You think I'm good?"
The little fellow was disturbed. He
wanted to tell the truth, and he also
wanted to keep auntie's favor.
Finally he found his tongue. "Well,

truthfully.
