VELVA LAD'S GRIT SAVED HIS LIFE

Velva, N.D., May 26.—When the frame of a windshield was driven into his leg severing an artery, Claude Runyan, a 15-year-old boy, devised a tourniquet from a pocket handkerchief, stemmed the flow of blood, and calmly sat down by his overturned car to await the coming of a machine which would bring him to town. He probably will be a cripple for life as a result of the injury.
