GINKS TO NECK IN QUAGMlRE
Woman's Cries Attract Mon to Lonely
Spot In Time to Save Her.

Secaucus, n. j., July 19.-Mrs. Her.
man Prahm, Jr, who lives on the Sc
caucus road, nearly lost her life in a
quagmire near Penn Horn creek. She
had sunk up to her neck before she
was rescued by Thomas Hoefner, a
farmer, and number Of other men.
The woman had been gathering
huckleberries and tried to take
short cut TO her home, when she lost
her way and wandered into the quag-
mire.
As she sank slowly in the treacher-
Gus mud and slime she shouted for
help, and her cries were heard by
Hoefner and by Christopher Stanton
and gang Of men upder him who
had been at work laying a gas main
and were on their way home. 1t was
difficult to find the spot whence the
cries for aid came, but when this had
heen done prompt action was taken to
save the woman.
While Hoefner and several other
men waded out toward where the
woman was sinking others got boat
and forced It through the marshes.
With the aid Of a plank which had
been taken along the woman was
dragged out OF the mud and brought
safely to hard ground.
