her son Willie, lad of eleven years,
were fishing rom the river bank, just

from their dwelling, which is ut the
south end OF the bridge, wien Johnny,
q bright little fellow OF five years, who
wis playing on the bridge, Slipped from

and despite the cntrcatiGs of the elder
boy who chung to her skirts, Mrs Lano
SHOOK him loose, and rushing down to q
point near where her child was drown
ing sprnng in, declaring sho would say
him or perish with him. Willie, who

states that WHOM lie Inst Enw his mother
