Timely Aid.
BYRON, Wis, March 3d. Frank
Dyer, an 1s-years-old boy, had narrow
escape from death at the hands of a
tramp. The boy and friend named
Flanagan were playing with wheel
barrow and rope. The tramp, who was
evidently crazAd, suddenly came upon
them and told the boys he was going to
kill one OF them.
lie knocked the Dyer boy down, tied
the ropo around his neck threw il over a
limb Of tree close by, and, stringing
him up left the boy hanging there.
Tho Flanagan hoy had run for help
and relief came just as Dyer was al the
point of death. Luckily the knot in the
rope slipped so that the greatest strain
was upon tho back of the boys neck in
stead of his throat, which undoubtedly
saved his life. The tramp has not been
found.
