from the opposite direction. The driver
attempted to turn the corner at Kilt

finding himself in deep water became
terrified. Calling for help, the boy
sank second time, when Andrew
Johnson. a companion living at 81
Acler street, jumped into the water to
his rescue. Johnson, however, is but
eleven years of age, and when the

The father was working extra
time yesterday, and was not at
home when his son left the house. The
boy. however. had been told several
times not to visit McCarron's lake by
his mother, and when he ran out after
dinner Mrs. Swanstrom again warned
him against joining a crowd of COM

OF going out to the lake to battle. The
little fellow, however, needless of his
parents admonitiOn, walked to the
lake with several of his playmates.
Gleefully anticipating a plunge into
the cool water he was first undressed
and walked out on the spring board.
His companions, they say, told him
not to enter the water from the spring
board, as they knew he could scarcely
swim, and were aware of the dangerous
depth of the lake at this point. Young
SWamstrOm replied that he was not
afraid. and forthwith dived from the
plank. Finding he could not reach the
bottom the lad became frightened, and
when he came up he called for help,
and Andrew Johnson went to his as

futile by the drowning lads struggles.
Young Johnson dived for the body of
his playmate several times, when he
failed to come to the surface, but could
not find the lifeless form. Other par

them appeared sufficiently expert in the.

had so Hght-heartedly sought the lake

STUCK UP, A "BELL-HOP..
Incident of Saturday Night at Rice
Street Bridge.

William Warren, a colored man en-
ployed as a bell boy at the Ryan hotel,
living at Gil Robert street, claims that
an attempt was made by three men to
hold him up near the Rice street bridge
at an early hour yesterday morning.
He disregarded the commands of the
supposed highwaymen to throw up his
hands ard escaped being robbed by TAX
ing flight. Warren had been to the
house of his brother on Rice street, and
was returning about 1 o'clock. Just
as he had crossed the Rice street
bridge, at the same point where the
Booth hOld-up took place two weeks
ago, he heard footsteps behind him, and
was ordered to halt. CHANGING over his
shoulder he saw the figures of three
men, and at once took to his heels.
The men, Warren says, followed him
several blocks, but he finally outran
them and reached the Ryan hotel when
the affair was reported to the police.
After an investigation the authorities
decided that if Warren's story was cor
rect. he had simply been the victim of
a practical joke. Warren's companions
a. the hotel, however, are of the belief
that the affair was an attempted rob-
berry by persons who were aware that
Saturday was pay day for the Ryan
employees, and laid in wait for Warren,
who, it is said, generally has some
money about him.
