Deed is Done by a Young
School Boy at
Simpson. $i

The Grafton Sentinel gives the fol-
LOWING account OF the herois1n OF a
school boy at Simpson,
There was little exhibition OF
heroism at Simpson last evening on
the part of Master Harry Davis, a
school boy, which sawed the life OF
the little daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs
sheline, who otherwise would have
persisted tmiserably by fire.
Late Wednesday evening young
Davis in company with some other
school boys. were on their return
from school and when passing the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jerome She
line, they We're attracted by cries is
suing from the home, indicating a
child in great distress.
Young Davis fastened into the
house and there found the little five
year old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Sheline enveloped in flames. She
had been playing either with or too
near the fire and her clothing be
came ignited from the blaze. Young
Davis threw her into the snow and
rolled her therein, distinguishing tnc
flames, and to this heroic service on
the part of the young man, the little
girl probably owes her life.
The little girl, however was badly
burned about the head, arms and
body, but it is not thought the she
inhaled any of the flame. Dr.. Chen,
oweth was hastily summoned and he
dressed the wounds and mlnistered
to the young patient, making her as
comfortable as the circumstance
would permit, and she will recover
it is thought.
