the ice. After being there for awhile,

ice, and was submerged in about ten
feet of water. His cries for help were
heard by several companions who has
tened to his rescue. After the unfor-
tunate victim had gone down the sec
ond time, he was rescued and taken to
the honse where he is a guest, where
dry clothes and medical attention were
procured. Mr.. Ray is now all right,
and says, iii the future he will take no
more chances on thin ice. He is about
25 years of age, and lives in Kentucky.

happened, Elwood Ford, 15-year- old
boy residing in this town, also broke
through near the same place, but ht
was Immediately rescued by some
companions. Outside of cold bath
