DOG SAVES BOYS LIFE.
Nit" Will Be Rechristened for Rescu-
ing Child from Swamp.

CNew Haven Dispatch to the New York
Herald.)
To the keen scent, intelligence, and
persistency IF a little yellow dog that
because Of his lack of achievement had
been called Nit, August Swertsenger
owes the life of his 4-year-old %
Chester. After a score Of men and
women had passed 80 hours searching
for the missing boy, Nit came bound
ing out Of a patch Of brush and made
such a fuss that his master, A. S.
Crosby, decided that he had found
carrying a lantern, followed the dog
half a mile to a big swamp. On the
edge of which the dog stopped and
began to bark f~uriously.
Mr.. Crosby could see nothing, and
twice started away. But Nit refused to
bulge. Wagging his stump of a tail,
he stood his ground at the edge of q
bog. Finally the rays of the lantern
disclosed something moving ten feet
away. MI. Crosby waded into the
treacherous mud and found the miss
ing boy.
An hour more of delay and the lad
would have disappeared entirely. AS
it was, he was up to his chin IN mud
and too weak from exposure to help
himself or to make an outcry. It was
with great difficulty hat he was res
cued. Mr.. Crosby threw a tree trunk
across the mud and worked sais way
out until he reached the boy. Then
he dragged the little fellow to hard
ground. In fifteen minutes he was at
home and in bed.
1t was late Saturday afternoon when
the boy disappeared. He had been to
the house of a neighbor with his faith
er, and on the way home stopped to
| pick flowers. Mr.. SWertsenger, think
ing his son was right behind him,
went al cad. When the child failed to
appear the father went back after him
but could not find him. Nit is a hero.
Mr.. Crosby say he has earned a new
name and will be rechristened as soon
as he can choose something appropri-
ate.
