Their, who ran 500 yards across the
fields from her home on Morrison
avenue, waded out into the stream
to her armpits and removed the body
from the water just moment after
it had gone down for the third time,
but all effort on the part of physi-
clans to revive the boy proved fruit
less.
Paul, with his little sister, had been
playing in the house. which sets on
the top Of a knoll, about 500 yards
from the stream near the Libby ath-
lectic field, and then left her to go
out. The mother missed the little
fellow and sent, his sister out to look
for him. Just then Lester Bradbury,
aged 6. a playmate Of Pauls. ran up
over the hill and said that he had
fallen into the stream. The neighbors
had been aroused by this time. With
all possible speed Mrs. Dudley ran
to the stream and jumped in where

revived. The boys father, who is
proprietor OF what was Spencer's
garage on Spring, was notified. by

an auto, but too late to see the boy
alive.
Lester, the boy who was with Paul
when he fell into the stream, said
that he had walked out on small
canoe landing. extending into the wa
ter about five feet, and after throw
ing a large stone, had stumbled and
fallen from the landing into the
stream. The water directly near the
wharf Is not more than a foot deep,
but short distance out it is deeper
and in his scramble to get out the
boy must have slipped into water be-
yond his depth.
