COLBY COLLEGE
|Gallantry Of Students Saves Wo.
man Drifting in Boat from
Going Over the Falls
COLBY BARRIERS SELECT.
ED TO RUN IN BATES
MEET

College students played an important
role in what might have been a serious
disaster Thursday morning. About 7.3O
cries for help were heard in the rear
Of the college campus in the direction
OF the Kennebec river. So frantic were
the calls that Baxter 20 and another
student from a nearby dormitory ran
down to the edge Of the river. From
there they could see a rowboat about
half way across the river in which was
a woman wildly shouting and swinging
her arms about. The two students loos-
ed an old raft from tree trunk and
with improyised paddles made their
way out of the frantic woman. She was
brought safely to shore and duly thank
full for the assistance. She was a mid
dle-aged woman and according to re-
port had started to row across the riv-
er from the Hollingsworth and Whit
ney mills directly opposite the college
buildings. The river at just this point
is quite wide and swift. When the vic
tim got out where the current struck
the boat, instead Of heading up stream
and rowing harder. she at once threw
away both oars and began to cry for
help. She refused to give her name and
was none the worse for her scare. Had
she not attracted the attention of the
college boys. however she would prob
ably have been borne down the river
and killed in a rush over the falls.

Thursday that dogs were running his
flock of sheep at his farm on the Ridge
road. A number of the sheep have al

that it was necessary to kill them, and
the remainder are practically ruined by
fright. The dog that is doing the
work is a hound, but no one has been

Nine hundred years ago China had q

and discovered shady conduct ON the
part of the bank officials. He immedi-
ately issued an edict that the next time
a bank went to the wall the heads of its
president and directors should be for
feited.
Since then there have been no bank
