HIS FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Struggle Of a Woodsman Who Met
With an Accident.

From the heart of the Adirondack
wilderness comes the following path.
etio story Of a woodsman's heroic
struggle for life after meeting with a
terrible accident.
The accident occurred on the shores
OF lake Massawepie, in the town of
Piercefield. A lumberman by the
name of Jerry Dudy had contracted
to furnish logs for the mill at Pierce
field. He occupied with his wife and
week old baby, solitary cabin on
the shores Of the lake.
Dudy was at work some three miles
In the forest telling spruce timber.
One day last week he had cut through
a tree about two and half feet in
diameter, and In telling it, it had be-
come lodged in some nearby trees.
This is common occurrence, but the
work of disengaging the tree involves
great danger, and is the cause Of
many serious accidents.
Dudy proceeded to butt off" the
tree. The crash came at an unguard-
ed moment, and he was knocked down,
his right leg pinned to the earth un-
der the great weight.
He was unconscious for some time,
but after regaining his senses, he
was not slow to realize the exceeding
peril of the situation In which he was
placed. He knew that If he remained
inactive for any length of time he
would freeze to death. He could
just reach the ak, which had fallen
near him, and with his knife he cut
a portion of the helve that he might
use the blade to better advantage in
his reclining position.
The night advanced, the stars ap-
peared one by one in the heavens, and
still the brave man toiled on. Oftimes
he dropped his ak in despair. But the
thought of wife and baby at home
always caused him to take up his task
with renewed vigor.
At last the tree was cut through,
and with all his remaining strength
he rolled the short butt from off his
limb. He was free. He tried to rise,
but his strength was fast failing, and
hC odhh W Iue SIOuuu. Ou examining
his leg he found 1t to be broken In
two places and frozen stiff.
Late the next day he reached the
door Of his cabin, almost dead from
exposure and loss of blood. He had
crawled three miles over the broken
and almost underlined wood trail, drag.
ging behind him his crushed and brok.
en- limb. The thought OF loved ones
at home had given him strength to
accomplish the almost herculean task.
His wife rendered such aid as was
in her power, and then tramped
through the deep snow a distance Of
over mile to the nearest neighbor.
Everything was done to relieve the
man until a physician could arrive
from the village of Piercefeld, thir-
teen miles away.
Pneumonia set in. He had suffered
more than human strength could en-.
dure, and with the wife and child be.
side him, for the love Of whom he had
suffered SO much, he passed away
