Two "Jacks" saved the life of
little three-year-old "Buddy" Cor
nish yesterday, while a mother, Mrs.
R. C. Cornish, 412 North 11th St.,
frantically looked on. One of these
Jacks" , was s man, the other a
dog a hero dog.
"Buddy" a mighty cute little fel
low, whose first name Is Raymond,
(although he seldom hears his
mother, or anyone else call him
by that name) waa playing along
Eleventh street In front of bis home.
The main irrigation canal is just
across the street.
"Buddy" and another little neigh
bor fellow were having a race in
their two coaster wagons. "Buddy"
was in the lead when the wagon
skidded arfd went speeding through
a hole In tha canal fence, down, a
16-foot embankment and Into the
water.
"Buddy's" friend screamed for
help and Mrs. Cornish rushed out
of the house to see her Infant eon
struggling in the swift current of
the canal.
A dog "who lives next door"
dashed out from the back yard to
aee what all the excitement waa.
"Jack" Is a Belgian police-English
bull breed, belonging to Mr. and
Mrs. Uhl. . '
Jack, go get him," cried Mrs.
Ubl, and into tbe water "Jack" .
went. After all. a dog Is only a
beast, and "Jack" came triumph
antly back, but with only the hat
of little "Buddy." -
"Jack, go get him," cried Mrs.
Uhl once more, and -without a mo
ment's hesitation, "Jack" went back,
braving the flooded canal current.
He gripped a piece of little -"Buddy's"
clothing firmly in his
teeth and struggled toward shore
with - the burden, twice his own
weight. He finally gave up ex
hausted. ' '
About this time Jack Dean came
along in his car, and, seeing the
little lad come up for the second
time, rushed to the bridge, dove
off, and rescued "Buddy" after he i
had drifted over 100 feet from the
place he fell In. - -
"Buddy" was unconscious when
brought ashore. Neighbors gave
first aid to the little fellow. In the
meantime Mrs. Cornish had called
Dr. Soule. Before the doctor 'ar
rived, however, the boy waa- revived.
Last night, "Buddy" .explaining
the near tragedy, inhls own words
declared: "Me fell in. Me make
big splash.'.- "
