STUCK IN A BARREL.
A Trunut officer Makes "a Thrilling
Rescue of Man I'm Distress.

(Pittsburg News)
While on a scouting expedition in the
First Ward this morning in rounding up
truants, w. II. Keller the truant officer,
had an unusual experience. He came
across three men near the Duquesne
School who were amusing themselves
with a quart of whiskey and an empty
barrel. They were carrying the barrel
with one hand and holding it at arms
length for the drinks The man who
failed TO perform one Of the feats with
the barrel had to pass the bottle around
To the other, and the man who was sue
cessful celebrated the event by treating
the others out of the same bottle. They
kept this up until the hoops on the barrel
began 10 be duplicated. Then they stood
IL, with the open end up.
They fell TO discussing the matter OF
pelagic sealing or some other engrossing
quest lion. and one of them whose legs
began TO wobble, attempted to take a
seat on the barrel. The fact that the
head was out of it was entirely over
looked by him. He sat down much
further than he had intended. only his
feet and his head were left sticking out.
The others went to his rescue, but the
more they pulled and tugged, the deeper
he got into the barrel. Tired out, they
stopped for a consultation 10 devise a
plan TO get him out without breaking
the bottle which he had in his pocket.
He was yelling and trying to KICK, but
could not His friends reached the con-
clusion that the best thing they could do
was to roll the barrel to a machine-shop, a
block or two away, and get the advice
of a mechanic. They started to do this
and at every turn it would bring the
head of the imprisoned man in contact
with the pavement in stunning way.
He was bowling and bleeding when MIR.
Keller went TO his aid.
Mr. Keller took entire charge or the
affair. He got the head of the man In
the barrel between the feet sticking out
OF II. and worked the body as the tight
cork in a bottle is worked. After a few
minutes twisting and turning, during
which the two others stood by caution
ing him to be careful, owing to the fact
that the man in the barrel had the bot
tie of whiskey, and it might easily be
broken. Mr.. Keller felt an easing up
Then ne gave a strong pull and nearly
landed the man in the middle of the
street. but away from the barrel. The
two others ran to him, and before he
could get from the ground each mad q
| hand i'm his inside coat pocket.
IT'S safer shouted both joyfully.
Then they took another drink and re-
primanded the man who had been IN the
barrel for his carelessness.
