BRAVERY REWARDED.
KING EDWARD MEDALS. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright London, March 2. King Edward medals (first-class) have been awarded to two men named McWhirter and McLelland. While two steeplejacks were fixing a lightning conductor on a chimney at Newmain's, in Lanarkshire, one man fainted on a nineinch scaffold. His colleague thereupon tied him to a plank. McWhirter and McLelland, who had never climbed a chimney before, ascended 180 feet and rescued the steeplejack despite the risk of death from the fumes.
