 George Finn of East Main street had a narrow escape from drowning this morning. George, who is a mere youth, went out to swim in the upper part of Scovill's ditch, near John D.'s pond, this morning Tn this part of the pond there is gate house. The many boys who make bathing place of this pond make use of the gate house as a good place from which to jump and dive into the river George was one of those boys to-day. He jumped from the roof of the gate house into q rather deep part of the pond Tn doing so he injured his side and one of his legs very badly, so that he was unable to use them or to swim. He sank once and was sinking sec ond time when his companions noticed him and one of them dived in and pulled him out. George was made somewhat wiser by his narrow escape and the chances are that he will jump from the gate house no more. Boys have been forbidden to swim in this pond and the police have often driven them away from it, but still the boys swim there.
