Youthful Hero Saves Life.

Washington. June 14- —-That Ogden Allen, twelve years old, of Cumback, is alive, is due to he bravery of his cousin, Frank Alien, thirteen. Young Allen was waning in shallow water of White river near the bank, when he unexpectedly walked into a “stepoff." Unable to swim, he emitted a scream and sank beneath the water. The cousin, swimming some distance away, heard the cry and immediately started to the aid of his drowning relative. The youth had gone under the third time when Frank reached the spot. Diving, he managed to get a hold on his cousin s hair and by this means raised him to the surface and swam with him to the shore. A movement is on-to call the attention of the Carnegie Hero commission to the incident.
