BEAR DYING BOY
DOWN PALISADES
Two J%erseymen Make Perilous
3OO-Foot Descent to Eff
feet a Rescue.

COYTESVILLE, Oct. DOWN a
300-foot rope, dangling over the
sheer cliffs of the Palisades, John
Tlerney and William Whitaker, of
this place. each carrying a lantern
over his arm, went to the rescue of
William Voltz, of Manhattan, a boy
dying midway on the perilous de-
scent.
Watchers from the basesof the de-
clivity saw the lantern lights cease
motion about one hundred feet from
the summit and heard a shout, All
right; we've got him."
Then the lights. dancing weirdly
against the black cliffside, began To
descend again. Tierney and Whitta-
ker. each with one arm around the
unconscious boy and the other hand
sliding on the rope in a way that
tore the skin from their palms, were
carrying the victim down TO the
rivers edge.
They got him there safely after ac-
complishing one of the most aston
fishing feats of nerve and courage
ever achieved on the walled brink OF
the Hudson.
They. took voltz to Fort Lee.
Whence an ambulance carried him to
the Englewood Hospital.

FOILS DEATH THIRD TIME


TRENTON, Oct. For the third

young man. Foster vas introduced

Walsh had started on his fatal fight.
Foster was in the car when Jack
