RUSHES INTO BURNING MINE
Acclaimed as Hero by City of Pana
and Given Gold Watch Mod
estly Says He Did. as
Others Would.
PANA. 111., July 4. Eighteen-year-old
Matthew Robson, of Pana, knows
how sweet sound the words, "You have
saved my life." Seventeen men. all hus
bands and fathers, are alive today be
cause young .Matthew was willing to
rik death himself to rescue them when
they were about to be hemmed in by
fire in the depths of a coal mine. His
act was inspired by unselfish, lofty
courage, not by the desire for ap
plause, not by any longing for personal
aggrandizement.
The Penwell mine, where the act oc
curred, consisted of two great wings,
one running east, one running west.
The eastern wing had an outlet on a
hillside through a tunnel. But to get
out of the western wing one either
had to go up in the elevator, the shaft
of which extended down to the middle
of the mine, or pass from the west
wing beneatli the shaft into the east
wing and out through the tunnel.
But the. fire was in the elevator
shaft. It had progressed downward
and the names were licking the bot
tom of the shaft, threatening to form
a wall of tire between the blind west
wing, where the 17 men were at work,
and the east wing, with its outlet
through the hillside tunnel. To save
the lives of the 17 it was necessary for
a messenger to go on foot through the
tunnel, the entire length of the east
wing, underneath the burning shaft,
and on to the far end of the west
wing, where the men were at work.
Ignorant of their danger.
Volunteers to Give Warning.
Minutes were valuable. The messen
ger must reach the 17 workers In the
west wing, warn them and return with
them before the flames should shut off
ail avenue of escape.
It was night, and the light of the
fire cast a weird glow over the ashen
faces of the spectators. Volunteers
were called for to go into the mine and
warn the men in the far west wing.
Nobody responded. Then a slight fig
ure sprang out of the surrounding
gloom, it was Matthew Robson, clad
In his miner's overalls. Without more
ado he was gone. Into the black mouth
of the tunnel he darted like a young
deer, fleet of foot, steady of nerve, his
torch flaring as he ran over the rough
tunnel floor.
"God bless the brave boy God save
them ail in the mine," cried women
with white faces who stood about,
weeping and wringing their hands. It
was more than a mile from the tunnel
mouth to the western chambers where
the 17 were working a long, weary
mile to race with grizzly death. The
watchers at the tunnel mouth saw the
bobbing torchlight grow smaller and
smaller, fainter and fainter, until it
finally was blended with the red glow
far within where the shaft opened. To
the heoric boy It was a hot, forbidding,
awe-inspiring glimpse of hell. His
courage almost failed him as he drew
near to that crackling, leaping, hun
gry furnace. Hut he went on. He did
not pause. The very seconds were
precious. He saw that. And now the
red flames were at his back. He was
in the great west wing. He staggered
on on on. Would he never reach
the men? he asked himself.
Tolls Minors, Then Collapses.
Another minute, another superhuman
effort, and he reeled into the first
chamber where men were at work. "The
shaft's afire." he cried, huskily, "run
for your lives." The others were
warned quickly. They were fresh,
fearfully eager for the run out if the
tire would let them out. But Mat., the
hero, had collapsed. The long, hard
run had been too much for hm. They
bundled the exhausted boy into a coal
car and whipped up the mule hitched
to it. Away they went, an odd pro
cession in an awful predicament. The
lamps showed terror-stricken faces.
Hut the 17 stuck to the boy in the coal
car their savior.
H was hot. painfully hot, at the
shaft, and the ttames were red and
hungry, but. thank heaven, there yet
remained a path clear of fire. Through
it dashed the men and the coal car
with the boy in it. A little way ne
yond the men heard a dreadful roar.
They looked back. The walls of fire,
as did the walls of water after the
children of Israel passed by. had
rushed together and closed the passu.
They had been just in time. And they
sohbed out their gratiuide, those
strong men. down in the gloomy
bowels of the world.
Joy Over .Rescued Ones.
A mighty cheer shook the hillside
when the watchers without, at the tun.
ncl' mouth, caught the first sight of
the oncoming lamps of the 17. Men
and women rushed in to greet the on
coming party. Pome laughed. Some
sobbed. Some danced. Some sang.
Some prayed. It was one of those in
tensely dramatic scenes such as only
the black coal belt knows. The res
cued 17 were hugged and kissed hys
terically. Kven the faithful old mulu
that had drawn the car In which Mat
rode hack ww hugged. And Mat! Tle
grimy, weary, tow-headed boy was
given an ovation as spontaneous, as
heartfelt, as genuine as ever greeted
hero of the battlefield. But he only
slipped away to his own cottage home
and threw his arms around his wid
owed mother and told her with misty
eyes and a lump In his throst that
made his voice thick and unsteady.
Just how happy he was to be back with
her again.
And who is Mat Robson, the widow's
son, and what manner of vouth is he'
His daily life Is that of a hero. A year
or so ago his father died, leaving a
widow, several small children, a mort
gaged cottage, and Mat. the oldest
child, the breadwinner, the protector
He sought work in the mine, with
brave, dry eyes and a high hope in his
heart. A fraternal organization to
which the father had belonged lifted
the mortgage from the family cottage
and assured the widow and her brood
of a home. Mat set out to do the rest
that needed to be done.
City's Girt to Young Hero.
Not long after the. fire Mayor Schuy
ler of Pana called a mass meeting of
the citizens to honor the boy. The Red
Men's Band marched through the town
and stopped before an open-air plat
form where the speeches were to be
ellvered. The Mayor was on the plat- ,
form, and so were all the prominent
men of Pana. Mat was among them,
although he had sought to be excused.
They would not let him stay away. And
the crowd shouted Itself hoarse. Then
the band played some more, after
which Rev. Frank Miller stood up and
waved his hands for silence. Ho said
that there had been few, if any, finer
acts of heroism in Pana than that per
formed by Matthew Robson when he
saved the lives of 17 men. It was fit-
I ting, said the minister, that some tes
x timonial on the part of the people be
given to the hero. Then he presented
to Mat a costly gold watch, contain
ing an inscription which declared that
the watch was a token from the people
of Pana to the savior of 17 lives. Per
haps the crowd didn't cheer then! Hats
were thrown up into the air. Men
shouted till you would have thought
their lungs would burst.
"God Bless You," Say All.
Trembling, shy, frightened at all the
honors paid him more, a thousand
times more than he would have been
by the grimest danger the boy when
called on for a speech stood up. He
tried to say something, but he couldn't
Tears bltnded his eyes and his voice
shook so he couldn't speak. All he
could do was to blurt out a simple
"Thank you" and sit down again.
But the crowd cheered as lustily
and as long as though the most
eloquent oration ever delivered had
Just been heard. The mere "Thank
you" of Mat Robson was speech
enough for them, for his field was
action, not talk. And then all the
people crowded around the platform
and shook the boy's hand, while he
stood there with trembling lip and wet
eye and bowed his head in acknowledg
ment of their "God bless you. Mat."
The demonstration in Mat's honor
was a grand success, and he is very
proud, indeed, of the gold watch and
the purse of money presented to him
by his fellow '.ownsmen. I!ut many of
his friends believe that th younir man
6r;ould have more substantial recogni
tion than he has had, so a movement
has been started to obtain for him a
Carnegie hero medal and the purse that
goes with such an emblem of honor.
As for Mat. he is seeking no honors
medals, money or anything else. He
doesn't -think he did such a wonderful
thing didn't do more, in fact, than he
thinks most any of the miner? would
liave done for him.
Only Practices Golden Rule.
And, perhaps, at the bottom, that is
the secret of Mat's heroism Just the
Golden Rule. He went into the mine
and risked his life the night of the fire
because lie believes in doing for others
what you would like others to do for
you. He was seeking no plaudits nnd
no glory. He was following the Golden
Rule as he interprets it. Indeed, he
rather deprecates his own act and Is
excessively modest about his heroism
doesn't admit at all that he is a hero.
But if you should happen to visit Pana
and should go among the citizens,
among the wives and sisters of the.
miners, or even among t.ie little chil
dren of the men who work in the
depths, and should ask if there were
any real heroes in or around the mines,
the answer would be prompt and en
thusiastic: .
"Yes, there is. His name is Mat Rob
son. and if there ever was a real, true,
genuine hero. Mat's one."

HOOD RIVER. Or., July 3. (Special.)
With hands strapped together and weight
ed with rocks, the body of a well-dressed
man was discovered lodged against a rock
in the Columbia River Thursday morning,
near Wyeth, by the crew of a tugboat
which was passing that point. In the
minds of the tugboatmen and the Cor
oner's jury, impaneled to investigate the
case, there is no question that the man
was murdered, for when found his
pockets were full of rocks. To one of his
arms was attached a noose that had been
used for the purpose of fastening them
together, and depending from it was a
ten-pound stone.
From the condition of the body it was
impossible to determine whether violence
had been used before the man had been
hurled into the river. It is believed the
body floated drown stream from some
upriver point.
MOORE GOES TO DENVER
Seattle's Democratic ex-Mayor Visits
Portland En Route.
En route to Denver to attend the Demo
cratic National convention and to Dal
las, Tex., to attend the Elks' convention.
William Hickman Moore, ex-Mayor of
Seattle, is in Portland and is stopping
at the Oregon Hotel.
Mr. Moore's political record in Seattle
is very similar to that of Dr. Lane in
Portland. Both are Democrats and both
were elected Mayor of the respective
cities, which are largely Republican.
However, the Seattle Democrat met his
political Waterloo at the. last election
and' his defeat was due. it is said, to
the fact that this is a Presidential year.
Mr. Moore is a Kentuckian. born and
raised in Shelby County, where Demo
cratic majorities depend altogether on
how big a Democratic majority is need
ed. He wont to the city on the Sound
some score of years ago and has, though
a Democrat, managed to carry off mora
than the average man's share of public
offices.
"We have the initiative and referen
dum In our state," said Mr. Moore, "but
haven't any Statement No. 1 yet. Mem
bers of the Legislature, however, take a
pledge, but It Is a pledge to vote for the
parly's choice for United States Sena
tor." Mr. Moore1 disclaimed any interest or
knowledge of the approaching fight for
the Republican nomination for Governor.
However. It is said that ex
Governor McBride will run a close race
against the present Governor Meade.
Mr. Moore is accompanied by his wife
and they will leave the city this morning.
REVOLUTIONJN PARAGUAY
Hundred Killed and Wounded in
Streets of Capital City.
BUENOS AYRES. July 3. The latest
advices received from private sources at
Formosa, in the northeastern part of
Argentina, say that there has been san
guinary fighting in the streets of As
uncion, the capital of Paraguay, where
a revolution is said to have broken out
recently, and that hundreds of persons
have been killed or wounded.
Edward C. O'Brien, the United States
Minister to Paraguay and Uruguay,
and Henry B. Owsley. Jr., secretary of
legation, both are In Asuncion.
Communication by telegraph and tel
ephone with Asuncion has been cut off,
and consequently there are disquieting
rumors of a sensational character
here-
Young Italian Shoots at and
Stabs Policemen.
FIGHTS LIKE WILDCAT:
. i
Lies In Ambush for Men Who In- J
vaded Home Bullets Miss and
They Pursue Captured After
Wielding His Deadly Blade.
WILLIAMSBURG, N. J., July 4. (Spe
cial.) The first gray streaks of dawn did
not find all in bed and slumbering in the
big tenements on Withers street, near
Union avenue, Williamsburg, today, for
young Giovanni Mallati had gone about
from ' flat to flat among his friends and
whispered that before daybreak at least
one policeman would be murdered, and
more, if his aim was sure enough.
Then the boy he is 17 posted himself
in the doorway of 3 Withers, street with
a big five-shooter swinging free in .his
right hand. He knew it was time for
Sergeant Cahill, of the Bedford-Avenue
station, and Patrolman Fagin, of the
same command, to meet at the corner
and stroll down past the house.
Mallati bad promised to slay both these
men in revenge for their invasion of his
home a few nights ago and the dragging
forth of two young men, who were sent
to Jail as disorderly characters. He had
been away from home on the night of
the raid, but had beard of the part Ca
hill and Fagin took In it, and he swore,
in every neighborhood wine shop that
their" lives would pay the forfeit.
Cahill and Fagin met with their cus
tomary punctuality at 3:30 o'clock. It had
been a pleasantly dull -evening for both,
and they sauntered down the street to
ward where the would-be slayer hid,
talking of the weather.
Shoots and Officers Pursue.
They were three yards from the en
trance of 3 Withers street when young
Giovanni sprang from his ambush and
fired twice before they could raise a
hand. One bullet ripped the padding
from the right shoulder of Cahill's coat
and the other drove athwart Fagin's left
ear with a. zipping twang.
The flash of the gun had almost singed
the two policemen, but before the boy
could tire tigaiu Cahill's nightstick sang
over his head, and he turned and ran.
Both patrolmen leaped after him with
howls of rage, dragging at their hip
pockets for their guns.
The boy was fleet as a deer and raced
down to the corner of Havemeyer street,
where he turned again, braced on his
heels and emptied the three remaining
cartridges of his gun at the onrushing
policemen. Had they stopped one of the
slugs might have reached them, but there
was only rage in the hearts of Cahill and
Fagin, and in their wavering, blind rush
the bullets went by.
His gun empty. Giovanni swung about
again and darted down Havemeyer street
and thence into North Eighth, where he
vanished into the open doorway of No.
250, jumping behind the door and pulling
it close upon him. Cahill was then not a
dozen yards away, and he took the steps
in one bound and burst through the en
trance. Fights Like Furious Panther.
The boy was crouching like a cat be
hini the door,- and as the policeman
blundered in, a ten-inch blade of steel
flashed out and ripped down the breast
of Cahill's coat over the heart. The
knife slashed the coat from collar to
shirt, tore through the shirt and under
shirt and then caught and broke on the
belt buckle.
In another instant Giovanni was tripped
and thrown, though he fought like an
enraged panther with his teeth and hands
and feet. But he was struggling with 400
pounds of muscle and brawn. There are
no milder men in the Bedford-Avenue
station than Cahill and Fagin, but when
they got young Mallati out of the hall
way he was Inert as a bag of salt.
Magistrate Higginbotham held the youth
on two charges assault in the first de
gree and carrying concealed weapons
for which he may get 25 years in Sing
Sing.
