school, on Saturday afternoon went with
six or the boys down 70 the Chehalis river

minutes Mr.. Shut concluded that they
were having too much fun, so he prepared
himself and went into the water. After
splashing around little while in about
four feet OF water he struck out and tried
TO swim. thinking the water was not more
than shoulder deep. When he got tired
trying to swim he attempted to stand on
the bottom and rest, but the current had
taken him into deep water and he went
under. When he came up and tried 20 call
to the boys, some of whom could swim
his mouth filed with water and he made
such a noise that the boys laughed and
paid no attention as they thought he was
playing. Soon one of the boys, Mitchell
Charley. about l. years old. concluded ths
something was wrong. and called TO Mat
thew John and Albert Charley. two boys
about II years old. They ran to Mr..
SHUTS rescue, but by the time they got TO
him he could not get his head above
water. He did not lose presence OF mind.
however. and all the time was making des-
perate efforts to get ashore. when the
boys got hold Of him he was nearly ex-
hausted from holding his breath ami
his efforts TO get ashore, and IL
was some minutes after he got ashore he
fore he could stand. Mr. Shut saws If the
boys had been a half minute later he
would surely have been drowned.
