The boy Is a good swimmer, but It Is hardly possible that ho could have rescued his sister had sho sunk, or floated out whero the water was deep. There Is no doubt about his being porfectly willing, though, to have attempted the rescue oven then. ANOTHER STRIKE THREATENED Trouble at Chicago May Exceed AH Former Proportions. Chicago, May 28.
