Stanley had the temerity to try to steal
two coats and four waistcoats from the In

waistcoats the inspector valued most.
The inspectors waistcoats are the envy OF

DIED SAVING HER BROTHER.
LITTLE ANNIE MEISTER'S HERO
- ISM COST HER LIFE.
Eleven. Year.Old Girl Jumps Into Treach'
erous Creek to Rescue seventeen
Old-He's Brought safely to shore,
but She Is Dead Whom Dragged Out

Annie Meister, II years old, rescued her
seven year old brother from drowning yes
terday and was herself drowned in the
struggle. The accident occurred In Crom-
wells Creek, under Macomb's Dam Bridge,
from which a number Of people 81 the ao-
cident.
The Meister children lived at 1872 West lleth
street. Their father is an assistant janitor
of the Wadleigh High School. Early in the
afternoon they got permission to 60 for
walk with Annie Schunbohn. her brother
Henry and George Grimshaw, all children OF
the nephborhood. The children walked
north to the Harlem River and crossed over
into The Bronx. They stopped in the little
park where Cromwell's Creek runs into the
Harlem. 1t was a hot day and they made
up their minds to go in wading. Willie
Meister was mo st eager Of all to get into
the water. He pulled OF his stockings and
jumped into the water as far as he could
spring.
The creek at that point has a bottom OF
black, shifty mud. Willie jumped into
the worst part of this quagmire. In two
steps he was slipping away from shore
and going down at the same time.
Annie Meister, without waiting to take on
her shoes, plunged in after her brother.
She was heavier and the mud dragged
her down all the more quickly. but she
fought until, with the water up to her Shout
ders she rea ched her brother and mana ged
to hold his head above water. She con-
trived also to turn and struggle with him
toward shore. At last Annie reached
point where Annie Schunbohn and
! George Grimshaw caught the boy and
pulled him ashore.
In their efforts to get him to land the
children forgot Annie for the moment.
When they did think Of her she was out of
sight. but white dress showed foot
below the surface Of the muddy water
Exhausted by the fight to save her brother
she had fallen back and the mud had sucked
| her in,
Just then Egbert Chamberlain who had
seen the trouble from the bridge above
came running to the bank. He jumped in
pulled Annie's body up from the mud and
carried it ashore. Her mouth was filled
with slime and mud and she was dead
Her body was taken to the police station
The other children refused to leave it, so
they all rode together In the patrol wagon
from the river to the station and from the
station to Annie Meister's home. Willie
Meister, although pretty we'll tired by the
struggle, was pronounced all right by the
ambulance surgeons.
At the same point on Cromwell's Creek
George Campbell and Andrew j.. MoCor.
mick Jr., each years old, were drowned
on Aug. q. 1908. Here, too, in 1901, was
found the body of Willie Mccormick. who
had been missing for seventeen days ano
was supposed to have been kidnapped.
