Cliib--.llliiorN'Cw Note,
A piece of heroism performed by a
H-eui-oId crippled boy, Idwell Powell,
of the AVest Side, has Just been made
known, although seveiul yeais ago ho
dlspln.ved a fortitude and bravery very
rare among pcisons of even maturer
J ears. Uelleving the house to be on
Hie he swung his S-eur-old brother
upon his back nnd In his night clothes
climbed out the window unci descended
nfely to the ground by climbing down
n cheiry tiee
The Incident otcuired Inst Monday
night nt 10J4 Washburn street. The
father, John H. Powell, a foreman nt
the Pino Urook mine, was preparing
to retlie In his bedroom on the second
lloor when he henrd his wife scream
and cry "fire" arid "help" fiom the floor
below. A lamp had overturned nnd set
lire to bur clothing Mr. Powell cau
tioned the older bov, Idwell, to remain
quietly In bed with the jounger child,
John The father then rushed down
stnlts and with a rug extinguished tho
ll.imes irr his wife's clothing.
Idw ell's two feet had been cilpplid
since birth. He had worn Iron braces
on his feet until recently, when n sur
gical operation was performed Since
then he hns had to walk with gieat
caution. AVhen the futlier rushed down
the stairs, Idwell nmbled to the top of
the balustrade and saw smoke nnd a
blight light Issuing from the dining
room His mother's screams added to
the excitement of the scene.
Idwell was rrot f lightened, nlthourh
he believed tire Unities had cut olT es
cape bv the stairway. Ho huriled as
fast as his lameness permitted to his
bi other's bed John was cr.vlng, but
Idwell told him no h.iim would come to
them, to nut his aims about his ntck
and hold on tight. Idwell shullled to
the window with John lldlng plg-a-back.
Thus handicapped Idwell grasped
the limb of a filendly cherry tiee.
sv ung himself nnd his burden upon It
anil sluvvl made his way to the
ground Hoth lads were in their night
gowns and Idw ell's logs were sciatchod
and scraped from contact with the
rough bark of the tree
Meanwhile the father had hurried up
stairs to talm tire boys, but found their
bed empty. After seniching through
several rooms, he noticed the telltale
open window. The boys weie found
sniveling In their night clothes near
the front doot.
Mis. Powell was slightly but not
seriously burned.
JOHN L. DAA'IS M'HNHD.
John L. Davis, of 7T Aic.hb.ild street,
a llie-boss at the Dodge mines, was
seveiely, but rrot dangeioiily. burned
by a gas explosion nt mi onily hour
esteidav morning Ills hands nnd
face suflered the most, especially his
hands Ills neck nnd arms aie ulso
slightly buined. The flesh on the
hands and lingers Is literally one blis
ter, and hi- chin, nose, cheeks, and
ears have large bilfters on them.
The ncldent happened In a very pe
culiar manner Mi. Davis, as is his
ngulnr u-tom, had covered his terri
tory and thoroughly examined those
paits of the woi kings which come un
der his supi i vision as a fire-boss, and
was coming out of the shaft about 5
i lot k As he was walking along, he
stumbled nnd In falling the Jar put
out the tl,um of his satoty lump which
was ttu tied down low.
He was, theiefore, in darkness.
Thinking ho was In n perfectly safe
place, ho diew a match and lit It.
In-tnntly he was sui rounded by a
sheet of flame which eaus d his In
Juiies. The piesenee of the gas at
this point, usually fice. Is accounted
for by tho fact that a small "pocket"
had been formed there dining the
night, the nlr being a little slrrggl-h.
Mr. D.i vis managed to woik his way
In the daik to the foot and getting a
light, he procuied some oil with which
to bathe his hands and face to pre
vent the peeling of tho flesh, AA'hlle
thus emplo.ved, a pump-iunner came
down the shaft, and seeing the ilie
boss he exclaimed
"Hnve ou heard9"
"What," asked Mr. Davis.
"Why the Oxord breaker Is turned,"
said the pump-tunner.
"Huh' so nm I." replied Mr. l.)avK
Shortly afterward he went up the
shaft nnd went home. Mr. Davis has
been tather unfoitunate In th matter
of accidents of late. It Is only a short
time since he iccoveied fiom nn injury
b which he niaily lost the thumb of
his light hand.
