RryyAIo. Jan. l4-YssterdAy after.
noon A daring act Was accomplished a.
Nisgara Pslis. During the last ieS
days p. 5. CrAnE. D. Malosey and d'
Whitman, Of tue Bhs Railway, have
bssu bsntering each other into various
deeds Of daring. Yesterday afternoon
,hs three men decided TO attempt 4
feat we'll nigh foolhardy. 1t Was no
less than to place a sign on an old los
in the middle OF the river. forty rods
above Goat Island bridge. The log lies
in the centre OF the rapids, and has
been there for the last four years. Du'
ring that time no one has ever been
within reaching distance OF II. The
men conceived the brilliant idea oi
placing q large board sign on the log'
advertising the railroad in whose EN-
ploy they are. About two O'Clock they
set out on the ice. After much enorl
they reached their destination. Here
sign four by twelve feet was securely
spiked TO the log, advising readers TO
$50 Bast via Erie Rsilway." While
the men we're busily engaged in their
perilous task, crowds of psopls began
To gather on all available points To
watch their progress. Many specuiA'
tions we've INDUCED in IS to whether
the men would be able TO get back by
the dangerous route already trAversed'
After two hours OF labor, when the
work was completed, shouts from The
sp. otators announced that something
was wrong. A glance showed that tht
ice vas breaking up in all directions
In doing their work the men had NOV
ed the log, and an opening being made,
the rapid current coon finished the job
Though taken by surprise, the three
adventurers did not lose their presence
LOT mind. Hastily picking up some
loose boards which they had cut from
the sign, they started on the floating
ios for the shore. By skilliul use O.
the boards as paddles, and hard
struggle, they reached the shore IL
safety. They were the subjects o
HEARTY congratulations. Mr.. Crapi
said he would not attempt the tea
again for the best thousand dollar bill
in the land.
