Advocate: While crossing the river on
the ice recently, Chris Anderson had a
narrow escape from drowning. When
some way out from LAND the ice under
him gave way, dropping him into the
icy water. He threw out his hands and
caught the edges of the ice. n a bat
tie for life followed. For 80 feet he
broke the ice in an attempt to get out.
Finally he found ice sufficiently strong
to bear his weight. when he crawled
out. Drenched to the skin and almost
exhausted, he made his way to his
cabin, a mile distant, where he found
warmth and a change of raiment.
