BYRON, Wis, March 30.-Frank
Dyer, an lS.year-old boy, had a
narrow escape from death at the
hands of tramp. The boy and a
friend named Flanagan were
playing with a wheelbarrow and
rope. The tramp, who was evident
ly crazy, suddenly came upon them
and told the boys he was going to
kill one of them. He knocked the

his neck, threw it over limb OF a
tree close by, and stringing him
up, left the boy hanging there
The Flanagan boy had run for
help and relief as Dyer was at the
point OF death. Luckily the knot
in the rope slipped so the great
strain was on the back of the neck,
which undoubtedly saved his life
The tramp has not been found.
