straight boys.
Victor Glad, the little son of Mr. E.
Glad, who lives on the Wilson river near
the new cheese factory, had a narrow es-
cape from drowning, and it was only the
grit and promptness of his mother which
saved the boy’s life. The little fellow had
the misfortune to fall down the well,
which contained about nine feet of water.
In falling the boy had taken with him the
board which covered the wt’.’, vfrz. Glad,
upon finding what had happened, ad
vised the boy to cling to the board until
she could secure a rope, which she pro
ceeded to do, but fearing that the boy
might drown before she returned. Mrs.
Glad went into the well herself climbing
down a pipe. With some assistance the
boy was lifted out of the well, a rope
being tied round him, but they could not
get Mrs. Glad out. Some children had
notified Mr. P. McIntosh at the creamery
what had happened, who, with the as
sistance of Walter Baker, hustled up a
ladder and rescued Mrs. Glad from her
uncomfortable position in the well.
