James H. Archibald, 34, farmer, saved Walter V., 38, and Carl V. Chalk, 18, from drowning, Gates, Tennessee, July 4, 1907. Carl became exhausted while swimming in the Forked Deer River, 20 feet from the bank, where there was a whirling current, and when his father attempted to assist him, he pulled him under water. Archibald swam to the latter and was grabbed by him around the neck. He got free, and, grasping Walter under the arm, while the latter held to his son, he got both to shallow water. 2085-229
