into the Cleveland-Akron Bag COM

seventh street
Had 1t not been for the rooster Mrs.
Louis Busser would not have seen the
two little children who ran through
her yard and down the hill to the bank
Of the pond early In the afternoon.
Mrs. Busser looked out of the window
when she heard the rooster expressing
his displeasure and saw the Galoskey
child, with six-year-old Johnny zgleni
ki, running through the yard.
She spoke to her husband, Louis,
about them and he looked in their d.
rection from time to time. He was
sitting on the back porch putting bis
shoes on when he looked the last time
and saw the elder Of the boys running
up the hill. The smaller one was no
where in sight. Surprised, he looked
again toward the pond and saw tiny
hand appear above the surface Of the
water.
He sent his son Frank, fifteen, on
the run to call help from the mill,
thinking that the men could get to the
pond from the mill quicker than he
could. An instant later the hand ap-
peared again with another hand be-
side 1t.
Busser saw he must act instantly,
so he ran shoeless down the hill.

the pond and Jumped into the water.
A moment later be had the baby in his
arms.
Busser and his wife laid the baby,
unconscious and apparently dead, on
bench and rolled the water out Of

child began to show signs OF life and
his rescuers put him to bed. They
had no idea whose baby he was.

work.
When the two women arrived at the
