Spotswiid, March 6:--John Rid
Ter, of this place, was saved from an
untimely death in the mud OF De
Woes lake here Saturday. He was
rescued through the aid OF his
-eleven-year-old son George when
only his head and shoulders remain
ed above the surface.
Rider was ON his way to his home
ere from his work at the Bloomfield
mills. The water in De Woes lake
has been drained off while repairs
are being made to the water wheel
of De Woes snuff factory. The oozy
bottom of the lake is exposed and
hundreds of catfish have been left
fioundering in the mud. Some men
have secured as many as 500 of these
fish and Mr.. Rider thought he would
gather few on his way home.
He had not taken many steps
from the shore before his feet be-
came SO mired that further progress
was impossible and he also found
that he could not go back. The more
he tried to free his feet the further
down he sank. Soon he was In over
his knees and he began to call for
help.
Son Heard Cries.
His son heard him and ran to the
ledge of the pond. Seeing his father g
predicament, the lad seized board
and threw it to him. With the aid
of this Rider kept himself from
sinking further while the boy ran
to neighbors for help. A stout rope
was secured and a team of horses
were hitehed to this. Rider took a
firm hold and the horses finally
hauled him out of the mud to dry
Hand. He was none the worse for his
experience, but it was very close
call for him.
This is the first time anything OF
this kind has occurred In this vicin-
| ity. While the mud In the lake has
been thick, it was never known tc
hold a man like this before.

ANOTHER Blind
PIGGER ARRESTED
GUS SHOWER OF cAssELToN AP-
PEAREp BEFORE JUDGE HAN
SON AND PLEADED GUILTY TO
HANDLING BOOZE IN HIS Ho.
TEL.

Gus Shower OF Casselton was in
court this morning before Judge Han
son, charged with selling liquor and
allowing the same to be drunk in his
place. He pleaded guilty to the charge
and was sentenced to ninety days in
jail and given a fine OF $500.
Showers is an old man and some
what Of a drinker himself. He said
that he had never sold booze, but had
kept it in his hotel, which is known
as the Cass house, and had given it
away, but never took any money for
it. .......... ..
He has been i'll for some time and
when previously summoned into court,
was unable to appear because OF ILL.,
ness. When in court this morning he
was so badly stricken with rheuma-
tism that he was unable to be seated,
and had to stand up the greater part
of the time.
Shower expressed a desire to take
the drink cure and sincerely hoped
that he would be able to overcome his
own habit. He said that when he left
home this morning that he had promis-
ed his wife never to drink again.
on motion of the states attorney,
Judge Hanson suspended sentence on
the old man, with the condition that he
he take the drink cure, and never again
use liquor.
In making his motion for suspension
Mr.. Fowler gave as his reasons that
Shower was along in years; that he
had a family that was dependent upon
him; that the evidence in the case did
not show extensive violation of the
law; that the physical condition of the
defendant was such that If he should
be confined to the county Jail it would
prove very detrimental to him, and
probably fatal; that the defendant
promised to take the drink cure, that
the indications are that there would
be no further violations and that it
seemed to be the best interest of the
the family and community that the
sentence be suspended.
Shower showed much emotion in
court and was very thankful that ne
had come out so fortunately.
