Fatal Accident in East Pen

This Morning,
ALBERS DUPUIS SAVES HIS
SISTER FROM DROWNING.
Little Girl Stumbles Into Dyers' Mill
Race, But Is Saved by 9-Year.Old
Brother's Presence of Mind and
Bravery.
This forenoon nbout 10:30 o'clock,
Clarice, tho fl-yonr-ohl daughter of J.
A. Dupuls, who lives nt 1112 East
Railroad street, narrowly escaped
drowning, in fact, had It not been
for tho presence of mind nnd person
al courage of her 9-yenrold brother.
Albert, she would In all prouaiuiiiy
havo boon drowned.
Tho little girl was running down
tho front stops of Mr. Dupuls' dwel
ling, when alio stumbled nt the bot
tom and before sho could regain her
balance tottered across tho narrow
oath and fell headlong Into tho race,
the bank of which Is only nbout three
feet from the lower stnlr of the front
door-Bteps.
Her brother, who was closo behind
hor, was tho only witness of tho ac
cident. Without tho least hesitation,
ho slipped over the bank and seized
his alBter's clothing before sho had
time to either sink or llont away
from tho bank. The little fellow had
to exert every lota of his Btrungtu
to lift his sister upon tho bank and
was almost exhausted by the time ho
wns out himself.
Tho bank Is vory stoop; so prcclp
tons, In fnet, that a person at ordl
nnry height goes In ovor their head
two paces from tho edge. 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.
