Was Rescued.

Alton, ILL.,. Aug 6.-While bathing
in the Mississippi river Friday night

the latter's little girl friends were
drowned One child who was in the
party was rescued.
Riley lived near the river in the
southern part of the city and was ac-
customed to bathe on the beach In
front of his home after his return from
work. Friday night his little daugh-
ter begged to go with him and Riley
friends to the beach with him.
When they entered the water, Riley
bade the children join hands and they
all waded into the water and walked
along a sand bar which stretches out
into the stream at that point. They
had gone some distance from the shore
when suddenly the whole party disap.
peared beneath the water. having in
the darkness stepped from the sand
bar into the deep channel.
The children struggled and scream.
ed, fighting desperately to reach the
sand bar, where the water was only
foot or SO In depth. Riley, who Is
said to have been a good swimmer, Is
thought to have been made helpless
by the girls clinging to him and ham,
pering his efforts to save them.
The only one In the party to regain
the sand bar was Mary Timminy,
years old. The child is unable to tell
how she saved herself beyond the
statement that II snatched my hand
loose from the grasp of the little girl
next to me, and soon found that
could stand up and that the water only
came to my knees"
The beach where the accident oc'
Cured is practically deserted after
nightfall, and the screams of the little
Timmny girl failed to attract anyone
to the scene. After Riley and her
playmates had disappeared beneath
the water, the child ran from the
beach and reached her home, scream
ing at the top Of her lungs. She was
so hysterical that 1t was some time
before her parents could gather an ac'
count of what had occurred.
Immediately Mr.. Timminy organized
a rescue party. but when they reached
the beach there was no sign Of Riley
and the seven little girls who Mary
| had seen sink.
