RESCUE OF RUNAWAY.
A little boy about ten years of age
living near Bingham. thought he
would rather run away than go tt
school. so went to the river bank anC
! finding boat drawn up on the shore
he decided to cross the river and &C
beech nutting. He worked the boat
into the water and endeavored to
cross but somehow 1t was not so easy
as he expected and the wind and cur
rent took him down stream further
than he intended in spite Of all his
efforts. The fun all went out of the
trip and fright took its place. Not be-
ing able to make landing he called
loudly for help which soon came to
his assistance from the opposite side
Of the river from his starting point
They were able to shout directions
enough to tho lad so that they could
reach and rescue him by wading into
the water to the boat. The boy s
mother was told by telephone of his
whereabouts and he was returned
