COURTNEY DESCRIBES HIS THRILLING ADVENTURE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) flame. “I looked back for Pierce, to point it out, I suppose. But he’d already seen the flame and he shot up at once into the engine room. I turned off ! both switches and nosed the machine I over into a headlong dive to burn it I out quickly. We plunged toward the ; water, 1,500 feet below. ‘ Pierce had turned the petrol off ■ and the broken feed line should be I no longer spraying. But the fire did not go out. "I felt that we must be near the ; ■water and so I flattened out and the j next stage was an automatic attempt to land. The instruments were use-’ less. I had no hope of seeing any- 1 thing. "But I looked down and I saw the | glow of the burning engine reflected ia the water. "With that bit of glow, I managed to hold the machine in something like a landing position and the rest 1 must have done automatically. “The tail was already burning away and I half expected to find that the controls had parted. "The flames finally went out after we landed. Perhaps a wave put them out. We were in a rather heavy swell. ■ ‘‘Then we got busy. We talked. yfe connected the two boat hooks prespared for such art emergency and made a wireless mast. ‘‘Gilmore sent out an SOS and got no reply. We decided to save our power ’till daylight, when all operators are on duty. “At daybreak, we sent another SOS. The Celtic answered immediately. I had been trying to estimate my position, and we gave it to them hurriedly. “Our feelings when we sighted the MJnnewaska and knew it had sighted us are hard to describe." o Get the Habit—Trade at Hocie, It *aya

j _ Runaway Pony Wouldn’t Even Stop For Traffic Sign, But Boy Rides Him Norbert Lose, six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lose, of West Elm street, took a regular wild-west ride Monday on the back »of a spirited colt, owned by Jack Holthouse, son of Mrs. Lewis Holthouse. Jack rode his pony to the Lose home and, while he was engaged with Carl and Ed Lose, young Norbert decided he would take a horse-back ride. He climbed on and started. When the colt came to the Five Points crossing, he would not stop and then Norbert realized that he was not master of his steed. He stayed on the pony’s back and as the pony came prancing down South Second street, Norbert yelled and called for someone to stop the pony. At the intersection of Madison street, Cal E. Peterson, ran out into the street and caught the pony. Norbert jumped off and remarked, "the old pony wouldn't stop, even at the stop sign at Five Points.” o ——- CONTRACT FOR ROAD IN MONROE TOWNSHIP LET (CONTINUED FROM PAUK ONE) of $5,100 for the three jobs.

SMITH TO ANSWER WHITE ■ —1 Nominee to Answer Charges Hurled At Him By Kansas Editor By Raymond Burst. (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) Albany, N. Y., August 7—After a careful study of the New York legislative record as they i elate to his service in the assemby from 1904 to 1916, Governor Al Smith today was understood to be preparing an answer to the charges hulled at him by William Allen White, Kansas Editor. White assailed Smith's record as a member of the lower house of the legislature, charging that he always voted in the interest of the saloon. The governor is said to have discovered several instances in his search of the 20-year-old records where he feels that Editor White did not get his facts exactly straight. A number of the bills for which Smith voted were iu the assembly and which White said were in the interest of the saloon, were sponsored by Republicans and were passed unanimously, according to cluse friends of the Governor. In his reply to White the governor is planning to point to the fact that virtually all of the time when lie was a member of the assembly the Repub' licans were In complete control of the house, and that if any legislation in the interest of the liquor traffic was passed the Republicans were to blame because they could have blocked it. According to friends of the governor he will make it clear iu his reply to White that he is not ashamed of his f -v VACATION OPPORTUNITIES via NICKEL PLATE ROAD $12.00 Round Trip NIAGARA FALLS i * Leave Decatur 2:02 pm., Aug. 18.
