efforts Of a collie which tried to rescue
him, and, failing in that, brought help,

ents. Alum is superintendent of the es-
tate of Mrs. Sidney D. Ripley, near the
Meadow Brook Club. The little fellow
often played in the yard, watched by the
collie Nero. Mrs. Alum was working in
the house yesterday morning when she
heard the dog barking violently at the

skirt with his teeth to make her follow
him. She did so, and he ran to the pond.
Mrs Alum saw George lying face down.
ward in a foot Of water
She grabbed him up and carried him to
the house. Her husband had an auto
brought from the Ripley farm. The Bel
mont Hospital ambulance was also called.
but before its arrival the Ripley car had
the boy on the way to the hospital.

was driven by the child's father, who
owns a garage in the village where the
ambulance is being kept temper arily.
When he received orders to go to his
father-in-laws house he broke records,
fearing something had happened to his
boy. He was met by the Ripley car
bearing George to the hospital The
doctors worked over the child long
time before giving up hope.
