A Cold Bath Was His Fate.

A Winside, Neb., farmer returning
from a resort in the east portion of
the city at 1926 Saturday night broke
through the ice in the Northfork and
was almost drowned. The water was
quite deep but he managed TO get out
after being almost exhausted by his
calls for assistance.
The man, probably thinking of TAX
ing short cut for the city, was cross
ing the river when the ice gave way
and lie went into the chilly waters up
to his neck. For some time he yelled
for help, but when aid was not forth
coming he crawled out himself and
made his way to his hotel, where he
was assisted in the removal OF frozen
clothing. The farmer weighed about
lS5 pounds.
