iMrs. Burnett's Coarngeoiis Art.
THE CREATOR Of HEROINES IN riCTION A
HEROINE IN TACT.
From tho Now York Tlmar
Mrs. Frank Hodgson Burnett, the
well known novelist, appeared in a new
character at Long Beach, on Friday,
when she saved the life of Mr. Larz
Anderson, the executor of the Long
worth estate in Cincinnati. The story
of this brave act cannot be better given
than in the words ot the heroine her
self, who thus told it to a reporter yes
r terday:
"Mr. Anderson and his wife came to
the hotel on Thursday. I did not know
them very well before, but when 'That
Lass o' Loa rieV was ( üblished Mr. An
kderson wrote ino a most kind letter,
one that was very pleasant to get.
During the day Mr. Anderson, his wife
and myself were together almost all the
time and we became great friend*. 1
had not been well for some days nnd
Mr. Anderson proposed that wo should
take a bath before breakfast, as he
thought one would give us an appetite.
Accordingly on Friday morning Mr.
ami Mrs. Anderson and 1 went down to
the bathing bouses. It was so early
that the bath men were not there, and
t and we could see no one except our
selves upon the beach. Mrs. Anderson
did not intend to bathe, ami when I
came ot>t ready for the water 1 saw Mr.
Anderson coming at the same time
down towards the bridge over the
creek. The water at this creek is some
times quite deep and sometimes quite
shallow. It varies with the tide, you
know. Mr. Anderson went out on the
bridge and dived otf. 1 have always
been nervous when 1 see people diving, I
because some years ago some of my
friends lost a brother who broke his
neck plunging into shallow water, and
I have never got over the effect which
their grief had on me. To this day,
when 1 see a gentleman dive, I almost
hold my breath untd I see him come
up. Well, when Mr. Anderson dove
oil'the little bridge, his wife and 1 were
standing on the shore. He did not
come up for a moment, and when be
did his face only came out of the water
a-> far as hischin. He said in a horrible
tone,'Ob, God !' and his wife called out,
'What is the matter, Larz; are you
hurt?' He made no answer, but began
to sink again. Mrs. Anderson started
off at once, screaming for help; but
there was no one there. Then I ran
into the water ami pulled him on shore.
The water was not deep ; not more than
three feet I should think, nnd I did
not know what else to do except to get
him out of the water as quick as possi
ble. He looked horrible, his head hung
over, and I was afraid he was dead. I |
carried him up on the shore and laid
him down, and then Mrs. Anderson
came with some men she had found
and they carried him up to the hotel.
"Mr. Anderson tells me that he was
perfectly conscious all of the time and
knew what he should do, although he
was utterly unable to do anything. It
must have been horrible for bun to
realize that be was sinking and not able
to step the tew feet necessary to make
hirn safe. The only thing I am sur
prised at is my being able to carry him,
for he is a heavy man and I am not
very strong. Dr. Morton attended him,
and to-day. I am glad to say. he is much
better. His arms and shoulders hurt
him, but he can move them, although
with some pain. It is a wonderful thing
that he is not more hurt than he is,
and we are all very thankful that it has
not turned out to be a very bad acci
* dent.''
Mrs. Burnett, who is of rather slight
figure and does not enjoy robust health,
hardly seemed to realize in telling Ibis
story that she had done anything at all
out of the ordinary run.
Dr. Morton, the physician in charge of
Mr. Anderson, said, when asked about
the case: "Mr. Anderson is suffering j
from a slight wrench of the spine and
a severe strain of the cords and muscles
of the neck and shoulders. When he
struck, the head was thrown violently
forward, the neck being bent very sud
denly. This is the origin of the strain.
There are no symptoms of paralysis,
nor do I anticipate any trouble of that
kind. He is much better today, and
1 hope to see him out in a few days.
The water in which he dove could not
have been more than three feet deep,
and it is a wonderful thing that he did
not break his neck."
Klrh Sliver Discovery in Dakota.
A City Founded in Four Itayi, with 9 Saloon*,
2 Faro ltanks, and a l>ady Newspaper.
DEADWOOP, Dakota, August 24.—Some
time ago an old prospector named Red
path found some float rock on the hills
about ten miles from this city, which
ho thought was pure carbonate. He
brought it to the city, had it assayed,
and found that it went up to the thou
sands of ounces to the ton. He also
showed it to old Colorado miners, who
pronounced it the pure stuff, and were
very anxious to know where it came
from. There was a good deal of mystery
at first, but the secret flnslly leaked out
and the excitement commenced. it
was mild at first, but in a short time it
took possession of everybody, and the
stampede of the season was inaugurated.
The ground on which the discovery was
made was in a wild portion of the coun
try that had never been prospected.
There were no roads to the point, and
the first crowd of treasure hunters made
<* their way there on horseback or afoot.
They came bsck with specimens of rich
rock, and in a day or two Ifeadwood,
Central City, and Lead City were almost
depopulated. A town was laid out. lota
drawn for by all present, rules of gov
ernmsnt agreed to. and the place named
"West Virginia City." In forty-eight
hours the town contained nearly one
thousand inhabitants, and nine saloons
were in operation. On the third day
two faro banks were opened, restaurants
were started, and, to cap the climax, on
■ the fourth dev the first copy of a daily
newspaper, called the Qirwwfi Reporter,
was issued. Fifty buildings have been
erected during the last week, and as
high as $. r >oo has been paid for building
lots. The town promises to be perma
nent, as there have been many rich
g finds.
The suicide of Dr. Ostrander, of West
i Fituton, Luzerne county, is said to
have been caused from deceased mind,
jj|k caused by •xoessire smoking.
