The boy heroes-are the sons of C. I
Bump of this place, and the little lrl
lrhose life they aaved la the Z-year-old
daughter of Henry Vllllcer, alao of For
at Orove. The children are faat frlenda
and were playing together Friday after
non,. , ;
The little ones were playing beneath
the Vllllger house, where a five-foot ex
cavatlon has been filled with water from
the recent floods. The little girl acci
dentally fell Into the water. She ut
tered a piercing scream as she fell,
which, however, was not heard on the
floor above and failed to alarm persons
lit the house.
But the lads, her playmates, rushed
Quickly to her rescue.. With rare pres
ence of mind, Chester, the elder boy,
lay prone upon the bank and tried to
reach the drowning girl. She sank be
neath the water when ahe fell, but
nresentlv ram
The hoy seised her firmly as she rose
and tried vainly to draa- her from her
perilous position. His childish strength
failed, however, but he clung tenacious
ly. holding her above the water. Hold
ing her there, he directed the younger
.brother to cull for aid. ..
Rushing culckly Into the house, the
iniiu ruiiu mm. uii.r inn urvaiii
lesaly tried to tell her of the dancer.

with escltement, the child was unable
to make Mrs. Vllllger understand. Bhe
proceeded with her duties and told the
child to run along and play.
Realising that he could not make her
understand, and also realising that his
brother s strength must soon give way,
he dashed out of the house In' search
of Charley Tennfa, the hired man. Find
ing him, he made him understand, and
the man hurried Into the basement.
There he found the other little boy
tlU-.ho)dtag 4he- baby -above- the water,
but his atrength was almost gone. The
child waa lifted from the water and
taken Into the house, where ber mother
was almost overcome on learning the
story.
The baby girl, after her heroic rescue,
was ' purple with cold and almost
drowned. - However, she was revived
and will recover, though ahe suffered
Intensely from the shock.
" The little boy heroes thought nothing
of their deed, merely telling how It was
done and proffering any aid In their
power to help the little girl.
Their bravery Is without precedent, so
far as la known, and they are receiving
the congratulations of the entire, com
munity, and neighbors will take up the
matter with the Carnegie hero-fund cus
todians with a view to the children
receiving medals.
C L. Bump, father of the boy heroes,
conducts a store near the railway sta
tion here. Henry Vllllger. father of the
little girl, moved to this place from Ban
Francisco several years ago and built
the Colonial hotel, which Is conducted by
him. . ' . " .

however, the victory of Mrs. Huntsman
would have been an empty one, zor me
Jurymen themselves ssy that the nine
were only In favor of awarding nominal
damages, the sum sgreea among inera

fully paid for. Later this furniture
was taken possession of by dealers and,
fearing to lose his money, Eckerson had
Mrs. Huntsman arrested on a charge
of-obtaining money -under fslse pre
tenses. Because the disgrace of the ar
rest caused her an extended Illness, ths
trial of the woman waa long delayed.
When it did come to trial ahe waa
.promptly acquitted. Immediately there
