Burbank's Awful Experience.
A Montreal special to The Philadelphia
Press says:
JamesIBurbank, owner of the griss
mill at sN1assawippi, situated on the lake
of that name, had u miraculous escape
from death on Friday afternoon. He
was cutting ice on the mill pond, when
suddenly the cake on which he stood
broke away from the rest, and he was
swept toward the dam, 200 yards below.
His companions on the pond were I'M
able to render any assistance.
Just as the ice cake toppled over the
thirty foot dam, Burbank jumped. After
a terrific struggle with the rushing wa
tiers he succeeded in grasping the edge
of the timbers of the dam. Burbank
clung there with the desperation of de-
spair. 1t was simply a test Of endurance
For half an hour Jse1naintained his ter
rible position on the edge of the falls,
but then, benumbed with cold, the nails
and flesh torn from his hands by the rush
ing waters, he was forced to let go, and
was swept under the revolving wheels
of the mill and on under the ice in the
river below.
At this time the villagers who stood, on
the river bank, both below and above the
mill, gave up all hope of ever seeing Bur-
bank again. Great was their surprise to
gee him appear in On opening in the
river, nearly quarter of mile below
fhe mill, and cling tothe ice at the edge,
Several Of the men at once ran stoshis as.
sirsnce, and Burbank was dragged from
me river insersfble but stfl alive aSsFE
