A TERRIBLE TUMBLE
From the Cliff to the Mud Beds Thirty
Feet Below" God Bless You"

About 2 o'clock this morning the cold
stiffness of the dark fog at the foot Of Pom
totoc street was broken by the cries of
some one in distress, Help" " Murder"
Save me or / die" etc, were some of the
cries heard by the people living
near the brink Of the bluff
that overlooks the Mississippi river.
Sergeant 0'Haver, in making his rounds,
heard these cries and at first was inclined
to believe that they came from some one
in the river. Procuring a lantern Ser
geant O'Haver slowly made his way down
the ravine in that vicinity, the wafer and
mud being up to his knees. Nearer and
nearer he approached the river, having to
exercise great care in order to keep
his footing and avoid the treacher-
Gus quagmires that skirt the base
Of the great bluffs and descend
to the angry waters. After a while the
officer, by the aid of his light, saw what
appeared to be a great lump Of mud,
whence came the cries Of distress. 1t was
At least a minute before Sergeant OHaver
could realize that the object before him
was a human creature. He once thought
the cries came from under the bluff, and
letting his lantern rest on the "lump OF
mud" asked, " Where are your" "God
bless you" answered the lump Of
mud, which now the officer
found 10 be a half-frozen wretch
The man was imbedded in the mud up Il
his knees and had been there for several
hours, unable either to extricate himself
and not knowing in what direction to 20

night ard possibly imbibed too mucl
liquor To keep his reckoning. AT any rate
he fell off Of the bluff and fortunately
landed in the mud below. Upon ~regaininl
his senses Finnie could not account 70
his condition, though he had . faint rec
objection Of a terrible descent through
dark space, followed by momentary pain
He could hear the rush Of the strong wa
