home of Frank Sullivan, 1877 West

thrilling rescue from drowning of lad

The rescue took place last night
about O'Clock near the east end Of
the upper bridge. Eddington had gone
to the river to battle. There was a
crowd of boys near the Fairbanks
Morse boathouse and one of them fell
into the water. The Mineral Point lad
saw the boy struggling in the water
and noticed that his efforts to save
himself were growing feebler and fee
bier. with every indication that he
could not hold out much longer.
Seeing the lads danger he leaped in
to the water and seized the drowning
boy by the back. He dragged him to
safety after much difficulty and Their
he and others worked over the uncon.
scious form until life returned.
In the excitement Of the moment

Appalling Accident Terminating in
Death.

The duties of newspaper life are
far from being all pleasant. That
which befalls the Tribune publisher
this week is among the most grave and
raeking of his career 1t is to chroni-
Gle the shocking accident which over
took Binks Alton and the quick term
nation of his life thereafter.
Tuesday afternoon a game of base
ball was being played on the fair
grounds in this city between what is
termed business teams of Platteville
and Mineral Point. While Binks was
at the bat a swiftly thrown ball struck
him in the region of the temple. He
was knocked senseless and died about
! o'clock a, m. without regaining con
seriousness.
The blow splintered or fractured
bone and caused the same to press on
the brain, hemorrhage resulting. Local
doctors were with the unfortunate
young man from first to last, and final
~ fesorteu TO an operation, but moth
irg coa!d save him.
Binks Alton was grand, good, ster-
ling young man. He was about q
years of age and unmarried; was of
this city from early life. and his SPLEEN
did conduct drew unto him deservedly
the esteem of every member of the
community. He resided with his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Alton.
The severity of this shock, this sad
ness. this loss 70 the bereaved parents
and family cannot be portrayed by
words. Every neighbor, every friend,
every member of the community is
laden with unalloyed sympathy.
