NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1916 SAVES GOVERNOR: IS GRANTED FREEDOM Negro Convict Makes Lucky “Catch” in Arkansas River Little Rock, Arv 2 happiest fisherman in Arkansas is He- zeklah Porter, negro, of Helena, Ark. Six weeks ago he “fished” Governor George Hayes out of the Arkansa river, probably saving the governor's life, and the governor has rewarded him by signing a pardon. Porter was Berving a twenty-one year sentence for murder on the State Farm for negro eonvicts, at Columbus, when he saved the governor's life. Had he not been selected to row the governor’s boat on & flshing trip he might have served the remaining fourteen years of his sentence. The tneident did not become known to the publio until the pardon was is- | sued. Porter, a “trusty,” was put in charge of a small skiff in which the governor was fishing while on an in- spection trip to the convict farm. In a swift flowing new channel formed by the fioods last winter, Governor ) Hayes started to move from one end lof the boat to the other. The boat struck a snag, the governor lost his balance and fell into the strong cur- rent. Porter grabbed the snag with one hand and with the other extended a fishing rod to the governor, who is not an expert swimmer. Then by holding the boat from going down stream and jaiding the governor with the other [hand, the negro after several minutes | succeeded in getting the executive again aboard without overturning the boat. Porter killed another negro at Hel- ena in 1909. For the last two years he has been assigned to fishing on the river to supply the larders of the convict farm, wherc 800 negroes are confined. July —The SEES CONTALMAISON TAKEN BY BRITISH American Lawyer Has Thrilling Experience on Somme Front —Frederick H. of New York and recounts New York, July Allen, a retired lawy and Paris, has returne his impressions of a four d visit to the British front. He visited the sector between Thiepval and Mon- tauban, and, standing on a hilltop a | mile and a quarter distant, viewed the recent capture of Contalmaison. “The bombardment in preparation for the infantry attack began at 2 2. m. on the morning of the memor- able July 6—a day which will survive fn history. The English used every plece in their possession, from hand grenades to heavy field artillery, and kppt up a cantinual firing throughout the night. “It was an awe watch the venemous heavy calibre piec inspiring sight to pit-fire of the s momentarily | erco the inky darkn aradually fade. At 8 o'clock the firing cuddenly ceased, when through tha of low hanging smake the great bavoc wrought on the German posi- tions could bo easily seen with field glasses. Sees Prisoners Passed, later I watched wave after wave of khaki clad soldiers swarm over the British first line trenches and charge up the steep slope leading to Contalmaison. The right and left flanks pushed on, while the center was lost to view in a curtain of fire, which the Germans threw behind the charging lines, to prevent the massing of reinforcements. A few moments later many flgures were scen in flight “At first we thought the attack had failed, and that the British were re- treating, but soon we saw that they were bands of German prisoners being passed back thraugh the lines. The battle continued until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when the Germans brought up heavy reinforcements and drove the English out of the town, but not as far as their former trenches. That evening the bombardment was resumed, and the entire tawn and its outlying fortifications were captured by the British the next day.” Scene Shifted Often. The battle, said Mr. Allen, erdun, which we had recently seen, exceptionally interesting, as the scene was continually changing. A continual stream of munition vans, discharging their cargo to the waiting Funners; the approach of large num- bers of reinforcements, massed behind a hill out of sight of the Germans, waiting the order to go-nto battle and relieve their camrades; the crash and “A few moments roar of artillery, ever Ilengthening their trajectory to keep ahead of the advancing troops; the moving of lieavy fleld pleces: the strident whin- | rving of wounded horses—all con- | tributed to a memorable spectacle. While watching the attack Mr, Allen { had a narrow escape, as & Dbattery fifty feet from him was shelled eight times. SALIEE AT TLAST MADE.
