Lieutenant Bedell’s leg was broken by a shell in a battle at Opequon,
Va., and he was left behind by his regiment. He was picked up
unconscious and carried to the house, where he was left in an attic room
for three days without proper care, until Mrs. van Metre, then a girl of
twenty years, heard of his condition, and insisted on acting as nurse.
She watched over him, regardless of criticisms, until he was able to be
moved back to his Vermont home. She then accompanied him on a troop
train, and afterward returned to Virginia.
Indians’ Football Dates.
The athletic officials at the Carlisle Indian School have announced the
1915 football schedule, which contains one game less than last season.
Cornell, University of Pennsylvania, Notre Dame, and Syracuse have been
dropped, and Harvard, Bucknell, and Fordham take their places.
It has not yet been decided as to who will coach Carlisle on the
gridiron during the coming season, although there are a number of
applicants, among whom are former Indian football stars, as well as
graduates of leading universities.
The schedule follows:
September 18, Albright College vs. Carlisle Indians, at Carlisle;
September 25, Lebanon Valley vs. Carlisle Indians, at Carlisle; October
2, Lehigh University vs. Carlisle Indians, at South Bethlehem; October
9, Harvard University vs. Carlisle Indians, at Cambridge, Mass.; October
16, University of Pittsburgh vs. Carlisle Indians, at Pittsburgh;
October 23, Bucknell vs. Carlisle Indians, at Carlisle; October 30, West
Virginia Wesleyan vs. Carlisle Indians, at Wheeling, W. Va.; November
6, Holy Cross College vs. Carlisle Indians, at Worcester, Mass.;
November 13, Dickinson College vs. Carlisle Indians, at Carlisle;
November 20, Fordham University vs. Carlisle, at New York City; November
25, Brown University vs. Carlisle Indians, at Providence.
Has a Five-footed Pig.
R. S. Givens, living between Georgetown and Laurel, Del., has a hog
which has five perfectly formed feet. The freak is attracting much
attention from the residents in the western part of the country, and
hundreds have been to see it within the past few weeks.
Worked Fourteen Years, Never Asked Pay.
Here is a man who worked for about fourteen years as a clerk without
compensation. He is Edward A. Noonan, of New York, who went into the
employ of John Fox & Co., manufacturers of iron pipes, on August 23,
1900, but he never received anything for his work except a promise of
twenty-five dollars a week.
The remarkable fortitude of Noonan in waiting fourteen years for a pay
day that never came around, figures in the accounting of the estate of
John Fox, late representative and president of the National Democratic
Club, which was filed in the surrogates’ court yesterday. Mr. Fox was
senior member of the firm that employed Noonan, and the latter has made
a belated claim for $19,500 back salary.
