of Suffering He is Restored to Health
His Story as Told to a Reporter of
the Auburn Bulletin.
Auburn N. " Bulletp.l
1t is on record that upon a chilly April
day, few yeals ago, an eight-year-old
boy fell into the East river at the foot OF
East Eighth street, New York, and when
all efforts to rescue him had failed,
Edward Donnelly, at risk of his own
life, plunged into the water and, when
himself nearly exhausted. saved the boy
from drowning. 1t was a humane and
self-sacrifcing deed, and received de-
served commentator in all the news
papers.
There is a sequel to this accident, how
ever, which thus far has not been pub
lished. 1t is to the effect that Donnelly
was paralyzed as a result OF the cold
plunge and came near dying. Auburn
people have known the family, his wife
being Amanda Grantman and his sister
Mrs. S. D. Cory OF 2l Moravia street.
