Girl Leaps Into
Lake to Rescue
Drowning Woman
Screams Sound Alarm as
Beach Closes; Vivian Karls
Removes Dress, Dives
to Rescue.
A remarkable exhibition of presence
of mind and heroism on the part of
Miss A'ivinn Karls, 2233 Locust street,
saved the life of a woman at Sand
Point bench at Carter lake Tuesday
night.
The woman, together with another
woman companion and a man, had
fallen into the water near the Sand
Point beach dock while trying to ex
change seats in a rowboat.
One woman reached the dock safe
ly and the man clung to the boat, but
the second woman was floundering In
the water when Miss Karls reached
her from the shore.
Beach Just Closed.
The accident occurred at 10:30.
Sand Point beach had just closed for
the night, and Miss Karls, who had
been a member of a swimming par
ty, had dressed and was standing
with the other swimmers in the lobby
of the club house. One life guard
had been released for the night, and
the other guard. Jack Hughes, was
in a dressing room preparing to leave.
Suddenly screnmes rang out. M. J.
McGinnis, manager of Sand Point
beach, went to summon Hughes, anti
hurried toward the shore. By the
time he reached there he found that
Miss Karls had removed her dress,
shoes and stockings and was already
In the water, swimming rapidly to the
scene of the accident.
By the time McGinnis and Hughes
reached the dock in a boat Miss Karls
had completed the rescue of the
w-oman,
Man Holds Children.
The man, who gave his name as
Jenson, explained that his party, in
cluding the two women and two chil
dren, one 5 and the other 7, had
rented a boat and crossed the lake.
As the rowing party neared the
Sand Point dock one of the women
expressed a desire to row, and it was
intended to draw up to the dock so
that positions in the boat might be
exchanged.
As one of the women stood up the
boat tipped and she fell into the
water, pulling the other woman with
her.
The man aaid he leaped into the
water to try to save the women, but
as he did so the children began to
scream and one tried to Jump out of
the boat and follow his mother into
the water.
This, he said, forced him to cling
to the boat and hold the children.

Spillman to Probe
Discrepancies in
Price of Gasoline
Attorney General’s Query
Seeks Reason for Higher
Charge Out-State Than
in Omaha.
Why the price of gasoline out In
the state Is much higher than In
Omaha la being Investigated by At
torney General Spillman. According
to his office, testimony given by of
ficials of various oil companies shows
that prices should be the same
throughout the state.
John Hopkins, commissioner of ac
counts and finances, who has charge
of the muny filling station, was In the
attorney general's office Wednesday
morning In conference with T. J. Mc
Guire, assistant attorney general.
According to Hopkins, eight or 10
persons In towns scattered through
the state have written him and the
“lB-Cent league," of which he Is vice
president, asking how to start a sta
tion. Prompt attention and advice la
being given.
Carl N. Humphrey, assistant gen
eral manager of the Standard Oil com
pany of Nebraska, In a letter to Spill
man said the same quality of gas Is
being sold It) Lincoln as In Omaha
and that there was no difference In
freight charges.
"Yet the price of gas In Lincoln Is
several cents higher than here," said
McGuire. "Is It because they can get
It in Lincoln and can't get It here?”
Oil company officials said the drop
was caused by competition In Omaha.
Before long there would be keen com
petition throughout the state, accord
Ing to reports received by Spillman.
Indications ars that the stats at
large Is taking up the fight after the
success In lowering prices In Omaha.
Among the towns that have already
written are Kearney, Fremont, Nor
folk, Grand Island, North Platte,
Chadron, Geneva and Gregory, S. D.
When he heard that Governor
Bryan Is opening a station in Lincoln,
Hopkins said: "I'm glad to see Gov
ernor Bryan finally falling in line. The
reason .we haven't gone to Lincoln
before Is that we heard that county
commissioners were opening stations
there.'”
Gas was S and a fraction cents at
the refineries Wednesday.
