j - A Nervy Rescue.
While playing on tlio lugs in th.;
Uioin of the Fir A Spruce LumU-r
Company last Saturday afttrnion,
with several other small lmys, little
Nelson Anderson, six years old, fell
into the water and would have
been drowned had not it been for the
presence of mind of his brother
Stanley, aged 11, and cousin Lester
Hall, aged 8. When the little
brother fell in Stanley, without a
second's hesitation, jumped into the
water, which at that point was 10
or 15 feet deep, and managed to
catch Nelson by the hair by which
he towed him to a log. Stanley
succeeded in getting onto the log
himself but could not get his
brother out. ly bracing himself
he succeeded in keeping the log
from rolling over, and in this po
sition held the younger brother's
head above water while Lester ran
to town and got help. The boys
were in the water at least fifteen
minutes, and were nearly exhausted
when help arrived."
Stanley, deserves great credit for
risking his life to save his brothers,
and by the act proved the metal
that is in him. No man could have
done better.
