FIGHT FOR A HAPLESS BOY.
Man Who Dives and Saves Him Is
Almost Drowned Himself.

New York, May 27.-Edward Good
man, 10 years old, of 432 East Eighty
sixth street chased a ball too near thu
edge Of the dock at Eighty-sixth street
and the East River and fell in. The
tide got a grip on the boy and he was
fifty feet out and had gone down twice
when Charles Bush of 210 East
Seventy third street heard his cries.
Bush dived in without even remov-
ing his coat, got the boy and began
the fight back to the dock. Policeman
Mara of the East Eighty Fights street
station was ready on the dock with a
rope. Bush had only strength enough
left to fasten the rope under his
arms, but the policeman and two deck
laborers proved equal to hosting up
the double burden.
DR.. Ramsdell of the Presbyterian
Hospital pumped the boy out and gave
Bush restorative. He took them
both to the hospital to recover from
drinking too much salt water.
