dangling over a bank of hot Goals,
Henry Hirams, a would-be burglar,
was nearly roasted to death before
rescued by John Harris. q farmer, of
Gwinnette county, whose house he was
trying to rob.
Hirams saw Mr. Harris place large
roll of bills in trunk, and, with two
other negroes, Johnson Henry and Sam
Banks, concocted a scheme to rob the
house. The doors and windows were
secured, but the three thought of the
wide chimney and Hirams volunteered
to go down. He was let down by his
companions, but was too early, as the
chimney was hot and the fire had not
died out.
AS his feet touched the Goals he gave
a shrek which awoke Mr.. Harris. He
attacked the negro's legs with a stick,
but was stopped by hts cries. In the
meantime Hirams' pals dropped the
rope and fed. Hirams had to be dug
out of the chimney. All three are now

crawling half mile on his hands and
knees to reach his home, where his
half-starved family awaited his re-
turn, John Arendt, an aged wood cut
ter of Riverside Park, died today as a
result of cold and exposure. Arendt
secured employment several days ago,
after waiting vainly for relief for the
suffering family to come from son
who had left in search of work.
While employed in the woods the
old man was overcome by the cold and
fell helpless in the snow. He revived
sufficiently to make his way back to
the house on his hands and knees, but
he was barely able to reach the shack,
where his wife and eight children, the
youngest of whom is three years old,
awaited him. He was chilled to the
bone and could not be revived.
