Dowlais Man's Death in the States INTERESTING CAREER. I MINERS' LEADER—LAWYER—LABOUR COMMISSIONER. The "Drych," the Welsh-American paper, re- cords the death, after a brief illness at Cleve- land, of Mr. W. T. Lewis, of Columbus, Ohio. Deceased, who was born at Dowlais in 1861, emigrated with his parents to the States at a very early age, and commenced working in a Pennsylvanian mine when only seven years of '[ age- He continued working in the mine until he attained his twenty-second year. During bls, coal-cutting days he was a diligent student, and, had set his mind on becoming a lawyer. He was called to the bar in 1888. For a number of years he occupied the position of president of the Miners' Federation of Ohio, as well as other important positions in the Trades Union move- ) ment. Latterly, however, he was a Labour commissioner, and it was his duty in connec- tion with the Free Public Employment Bureau which took him to Cleveland a week or so be- fore his death. During his stay at the latter place the town was visited by a tornado, ac- companied by hail and torrential rains. The storm became so fierce that it was dangerous to walk the streets, and everybody fled to a place of safety. Deceased, who had found re- fuge, seeing a poorly.clad woman being merci- lessly beaten by hail and the torrential rain, braved the elements, and took the unfortunate woman to a place of safety. During this ordeal, however, he was drenched to the skin, and suf- fered considerably from the cold, and in a few hours pneumonia set in, terminating fatally in a couple of days. Deceased was married to a Blaenavon lady, a daughter of the late David J. and Mary Jones. DON'T SPOIL YOUR WHITSUN HOLIDAY by go- ing away without a camera.
