Engineer Leaves Post to Rescue
Drowning 5oy--Brakeman Loses
Life In Saving Passenger
Train from Wreck.

Fond du Lac.-Bringing his fast ex-
press train to a sudden stop to leap
from his cab and plunge into the wa
tiers of Mud creek, Engineer j. A.
lyman, by quick swim and dive,
achieved a thrilling rescue of drown
ing boy.
lyman Is a passenger engineer on
the Wisconsin Central. When APP
preaching Mud creek, near Hilbert
junction, on his run from Manitowoc
to Neenah he caught sight of the lad
seated on the bridge fishing, wholly
oblivious to the approaching danger.
There was an instant closing Of the
but before the train could be stopped
the bridge had been passed. The boy
in his fright either jumped into the
water or was swept off by the train.
When lyman leaped from his engine
the little fellow was struggling in the
stream below, absolutely helpless,
The engine driver plunged down the
bank into the water wading, swim
ming, and finally diving to reach the
boy, and emerging a few moments
later with his victim almost exhausted.
The boy, whose identity could not be
learned, was placed on the train and
taken to Collins and turned over to
the care Of physician, while lyman,
after finishing his run at Fond du Lac,
reported the affair in a perfunctory
way to his superintendent.

fireman how to run it, until he
finished the run to Suspension Bridge.
Then he went to bed. He will recover.

CREATORE TONIGHT

interesting programs of his entire en-
gagement last evening In the Wayne
Casino when he and his superb band
of 65 great musicians gave an entire
program Of modern italian music.
Every number was a gem and It would
be hard to mention which was the ia
vorite. Perhaps Nine. Butterfly was
the most appreciated, but the "Pagla-
icci" number, the Andrea Chenier'
and the "Mefstofele" selection ran IL
a close second. Tonight another fino
program will be played, including the
great Carmen number and Signor
Bartolotta, the great tenor of the
Michigan Conservatory Of Music. who
made such a tremendous hit last Mon
day evening, will sing again. The fol-
lowing program will be played to.
