CRABS MAN FROM
WATERS CLUTCH
Albert Lundquist Is Taken From
Rock River After He Had Gone
Down for the Third Time.
HARRY REEVES IN HERO ROLE
Young Man Dives Four Times Before
Locating Victim on Streams
BOttOm-Mife Overcome.

Albert Lundquist. 32S Fifth avenue,
yesterday afternoon had a narrow es-
cape from drowning, sinking three
times beneath the surface of the water
west of the Rock river bridge. Some
fifty persons witnessed the mans
plight and his rescue by Harry Reeves,
employee of the Peoples Power COM
pany, this city. Reeves dived four
times and dragged Lundquist to the
shore at the risk of his own life.
Lundquist's rescue was effected eight
minutes after he sent out his cry for
help and went down the first time.
Watching the shocking scene were
LundQuist's wife and five small chill
dren. When her husband, apparently
dead, was brought ashore, the young
wife tainted from strain of the ordeal.
LundquiSt was on the water with
his brOther-in-law, A. S. Nelson, in a
rOwboat when the accident occurred.
The boat upset, and Lundquist, who
is not an expert swimmer, was unable
to reach shore. The other man swan
the distance easily.
Frantic efforts of the man in the
water attracted a crowd of campers,
but none was able to help him. Sew
eral rOwed out in canoes and row
boats after he had gone down the
second time, but were unable to reach
him and hold him above water. Had
it not been for the heroism of young
Reeves, who lives at 1884 Twenty
ninth street, the man would have been
drowned.
Reeves and a companion rowed out
after Lundquist had been in the wa
ter five minutes, Reeves taking off his
shoes and a portion of his clothes
while his friend was propelling the
boat
The young man dived four times
before he was able to locate the
drowning man. He pulled him to the
surface and dragged him to shore
with the aid of his companion in the
boat
Send for PulmOter.
DR.. A. H kohler, who was on the
bank, set about work of reviving the
victim 1t was considered doubtful
for some time whether Lundquist
could be saved, as his lungs were fill
ed with water A call was sent to Mo-
line for DR.. A. H. Apps pulmotor BY
the time this had arrived, however,
the man was again breathing and Dr.
kohler was able to send word to the
stricken wife that her husband would
live.
Lundquist is about again today, al
though slightly weakened by the
ordeal. The wife and older children
have not yet recovered from the shock
of standing on the bank helpless and
and watching the husband and father
struggle for his life.
The daring rescue effected by young
Reeves was the second in which he
figured during the day. During the
morning one of his companions be
came exhausted and Reeves helped
him to shore. although his companion
was not considered in any immediate
danger of drowning. His bravery yes
terday afternoon is declared by wit
nesses to have been a splendid dem
onstration Of cool nerve and heroism.
Lundquist would certainly have
drowned had it not been for Reeves.

Bouquet For Commissioners.

Harry Granbois, the faithful
county commissioner from this
district is receiving flattering COM
ments from papers all over the
state for the manner in which he
has handled the good roads pro-
position. So far as we learn he
has no serious opposition to his re-
nomination, although White

The old parable, credited to Abra-
ham Lincoln, about swapping
horses while crossing a stream. is
particularly applicable at this time.
The good roads program launched
by Mr. Granbois and his colleagues

tion logically demands the return,
of all the old board to finish the
job If they are not returned the
entire county will have reason to
regret the fact. A vote at the
