The firemen have not only shown

saving of human life, as was demon
strated by a rather daring feat per-
formed by John Keyser a member of
the Liberty hose company, Friday
afternoon. The wife of a we'll known
minister was walking along the Bel
mont street bridge crossing McMahon's
creek, when her umbrella which she
was carrying, opened, was suddenly
blown out of her hands by a strong gust
of wind and carried to the creek bank
below. The woman promptly repaired
to the bank, and while proceeding to
the place occupied by her umbrella,
which was near the waters edge, lost
her footing on the icy ground and fell
into the water. The screams of the
woman brought Mr. Keyser to the
rescue and she was very quickly re-
leased from her perilous position.
The creek at this point is of good depth
and it was only after considerable eff
forts on the part of the rescuer that
the woman was restored to dry terra
firma.
The congregation of the U. P.
church will shortly issue a call to
