BROKE THROUGH ICE
Billy" Doran Was Just in Time to Save Man at John D's
 Pond This Noon.

Although the weather has been very mild the past few days and the ice has been melting rapidly, still some people seem to have no fear of water and make no bones about crossing streams where the ice is thin. This noon a man was almost drowned in John D.'s pond in the eastern section of the city and he can thank his stars that he did not meet his death. He started to cross the pond and every thing went along all right until he gut near what is known as the channel. which is the deepest part of the pond. While going over this part, without warning the ice suddenly gave way and the man, whose name was Burke, disappeared But he was lucky and came up through the hole which he made going down. He struggled to keep himself above the ice and sue ceeded in doing so until Billy" Do- ran, who was formerly a foreman on the town roads, arrived with long piece of rope with which he got the man out of danger. Doran, who hap pened to be in the neighborhood at rhe time. noticed the fellow fall in and he immediately ran to house near by and procured the rope. Burke when taken out was almost exhausted and it was some time before he was able to proceed to his home.

had arrived, she would leave.
During the Christmas festivities at
