WEST TOPSHAM
Last week Willie Hight, aged ten
years, and Carol Marston, nine years
old, were fishing in the river near the
village Willie stepped on large
stone and il rolled over, in some way
pinning Willie under it. The Mar.
ston boy raised Willie's head out of
the water and screamed for help. He
stood up as long as he could and then
sat down in tie water. 1t took sew
eral men with iron bars and prys to
} move the stone and get the boy out.
He was in the water about twenty
minutes and was badly chilled 1t
was terrible shock to his nervous
system, but he is able to sit up and it
is hoped that he will receive no per-
manent injury. DR.. j. A. Dow and
Fred Bond were at work haying near
by and we've the first to reach the boys.
The doctor took sereva cold and has
been sick in bed for several days.
Willie is son of George H. Hight
and the Hight family feel very CRATE
full for the great effort the people of
the village made for WiIlle's life. The
stone will weigh about three thousand
pounds. A sum of money has been
contributed by the citizens for the
Marston boy and it is to be placed in
the savings hank. At Sabbath
School concert recently held at village
hall, Rev. j. A. McOlelland of East
Topsham said that as he looked into
the faces of so many bright children,
and listened to such fine singing, he
wondered if some girl might not make
a Florence Nightingale and charm the
world with her singing, or some boy
might do some brave heroic deed. ~ The
opportunity soon came and the hero
was ready. Topsham has but little
wealth, but is rich in brave. bright
boys and girls.
