BURIED IN THE MUD
Three Philadelphia Boys Barely
Escape Awful Death.
SUCKED DOWN BY BLACK oozE

Like ouicksand, Soft, Sticky Soil
Draws Them Into Its Dreadful EN-
brace Until Only Their Heads Are
VisibIe-Then Comes Rescue.
Buried to their necks in mud in the
basin of the old Fairhill reservoir,
Sixth and Somerset streets, Philadel-
phia, three boys had a narrow escape
from death.
After half an hour of suffering and
fright they were rescued from their
perilous position by policemen from the
Fourth and York streets station.
The boys who figured in the unusual
adventure are William Shields, ten
years old, of the southwest corner of
Reese and Cumberland streets; Charles
Stein, ten years old, southeast corner
of Fairhill and Cumberland streets,
and Frank Williams, ten years old, of
the southwest corner of Fairhill and
Cumberland streets.
The old Fairhill reservoir, which for
merly covered the area bounded by
Lehigh avenue and Somerset street and
from Sixth to Eighth street, has long
been a favorite playground for the
small boys in that vicinity. Gradually
the playground was diminished, as the
reservoir was torn down to make room
for the new Northeast Manual Train
ing school and the Carnegie library
Only the Somerset street side of the
reservoir is now standing
The three boys started for their play
ground as soon as school was over.
They raced around the top Of the en-
bankment, playing numerous games
until this sport became tiresome, and
in search of new adventures one Of the
trio suggested that they race down the
embankment and across thee basin to
the farthest side. The floor of the
basin appeared smooth and firm and
apparently offered an excellent track
for running. The boys lined up side
by side.
Shields was chosen as starter, and
after he asked if all were ready he

counted, and the boys leaned over to
start; two" and their bodies bent
over still farther, and when he said
"three" the lads started down the
steep grade at terrific rate.
But when they struck the bottom of
the basin their feet began to sink in
the mud, and before they had gone five
yards the soft muddy button acted like
a quicksand, and they gradually sank
deeper and deeper in it's treacherous
depths.
They were buried to their knees in a
few minutes, and despite their frenzied
efforts to pull themselves out they were
sucked down inch by inch, deeper and
deeper in the mire The harder they
tried to free themselves from the cling
ing mud the more they became engulf-
ed. They fought against the horrible
death which was staring them in the
face until they were exhausted by their

UNCLE SAM TO RAISE
HORSES FOR ARMY.
Step is Taken as a Pro-

IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY ARMY HORSES
Seventeen Thousand AnimalSR equirC(
Yearly for the SerViCe---Average
Life of a Horse in the
Service,

WASHINGTON, August lit is
the intention of the war department to
raise all horses that are to be used
in the future by the cavalry, artillery
and infantry divisions of the army, as
well as mules for the quartermaster
and commissary departments.
At the present time great difficulty
is encountered to supply enough good
horses for the cavalry. Agents of
the war department scour the country
regions and buy up all desirable
horses.
During the recent Japanese war
talk it was pointed out by army Off
GERS that the United States could not
properly mount the different branches
OF the service, as there are barely
enough desirable horses on the mar
ket to supply the present standing
army of 10000.
1t would be a difficult problem to
secure horses for additional troops.
At the present time the army buys
1900 horses every year. The av-
erage cavalry or artillery horse lasts
five years, while those in the infantry
branch, which are used by the Off
GERS, last about seven years. Every
horse used by the army has to be
replaced every five years.
1t is the intention of the war de-
partment to divide the country into
geographical sections. Remount
stations, where horses will be raised
and trained for the service, will be
established at the Newport rife
range and other points.

efforts.
The accident occurred about the time
the mills close for the day and in a
few minutes b5aiaf1taaflesd mill hands who
heard the boys cries for help had
climbed to the top of the embankment.
Only the heads of the boys were visible
above the black mud. A score ran for
ropes and planks, while others tele-
phoned to the police.
The patrol wagon Of the Fourth and
York streets station was soon racing to
tt scene, and by the time it arrived
planks had been procured by the mill
workers. Grabbing the planks, the po-
licemen cautiously climbed down the
embankment and then rested the large
fiat boards on the soft mud. On hands
and knees Policemen Messenger and
Moesta moved out toward the boys
and slowly but surely pulled them from
the death trap.
The three boys were then placed in
the patrol wagon. While it was going
down Seventh street the wheels slipped
into q trench, and one Of the horses
was imbedded in the mud. 1t took
more than an hour to free the animal
