Disputes of WL aus Current In a Frail Over the Recovery famsport Logs Harrissunra, Aug. 12.—Johan Prow- ley, au voung fisherman whose good na tured habits have made him popular fa miles along the Susquehanna river, walked into the Perry county court house the other day and asked fo a marriage license, His face was not s« wi that it did not betray his blushes un he announced the name of his ive bride, but it was not because ever been guilty of a wrongdo- he flushed. The girl was Mary and he was very proud of her, v hod lived within ten miles of each er for years, but gt was not until the sreat flood in Pennsylvania that hey were brought to an acquaintance, The Log Catcher, % # carpenter's son, and ly aided his father to frotide for a large family by fishing and pilot ing fishing parties from the biz towns around the river. Most of his time was spent along theSusquehanna, near which his parents lived, When the June flood came, people from all parts of the country hurried to the river to see the sights. Mary Yerget and a boy, son of the farmer with whom she lived, loitered on the water's edge until dusk of the day when the water had reached its highest mark. Few per. sons had tarried so long, but she and the boy forgot the time while looking out on the swift waters at a boom log catcher. He was standing in a frail skiff, hooking the big booms with a long pole and towing them to land on the op side of the river. Boom afte voom was thus secured, and he operated with such vigorous regularity that it seemed his strength would soon be ex hausted. Overwhelmed by the Current, He had just landed one of unusua size which took all his strength, anc Mary thought he would rest a while be fore going out into the troublesome waters again. But he didn't, and wip ing the perspiration from his brow with a part of his torn shirt sleeve, he quickly rowed out and was headed toward a large walnut log. Before he reached the coveted prize his boat had been caugh between a mass of the booms, which ound it to pieces like a thing of glass, fe escaped most miraculously from in stant death by climbing over the logs and reaching the water. He tried t swim for the shore, but it was plainly seen that he was too unch overcome te get even half the dist ¢. The current was swift, and he was beginning to ge down with it. The Malden to the Rescue. Mary Yerger knew that he would drown unless she saved him, for nobody else was in sight. It was a | rilous at tempt, but she did wt hesitate. She was not the kind woman to sees human life thus sacrificed without at least an effort to rescue, and with al most superhuman strength she dragged into the water a rowloat that had been pulled up on elevated ound safe from the rising water. When she reached the man he was so nearly exhausted that he could not climb into the boat without her assistance.
