rain and discomfort. In fact some

too busy hoeing and haying to even
sense the heat.

A very narrow escape from drown
ing occurred last week, Tuesday, par
ticulars of which have been kept from
the press through the reticence of the
rescuer. 1t appears that Albert Ha-
mel, a young man Of 10 years, while
swimming with his younger brother
from one boat house to another on
the lake front near the G.. p. tracks,
undertook to swim farther than he
was able and sank. The brother at
tempted his rescue, at the risk of his
own life, but Albert had gone down
for the third time when Melbourne
White, walking by on the track took
in the situation and plunged into the
water, found Hamel lying on the
bottom of the lake, face down, and
Selling him swan ashore. He then
applied first aid and succeeded in re-
suscitating him. Hamel was taken
home and has suffered no further i'll
effects. Melbourne, who is the son Of
Mr. and Mrs. Carl White, seems dis
posed to regard his act as nothing out
of the ordinary, but it looks to people
here like real heroism.
