RESCUED FOUR
FROM DROWNING
John F. Donahue, Athletic Instructor,
 Turns in Good Days Work.

Willimantic has a man who deserves a Carnegie medal in the person of John F. Donahue, athletic instructor for the American Thread company, who saved the lives of four people in danger of drowning at the company swimming pool in the Natchaug river, Monday afternoon.
 The first near victim was a Polish boy who was playing on log in shall low water. According to some chil- dren nearby, the log which he was on drifted into deep water and the boy had gone down twice before Donahue got to him. When the lad was brought to shore, it was thought that Ee was past aid, but he was revived by the efforts of MT. Donahue anG a woman.
 Two Providence girls were on the other side of the river and they start ed to cross the river to see what the commotion was. They got into deeper water than they expected and MT. Don- ahue again went to the. rescue. He easily brought one of them to the shore, but the other one chung to him so tight that both were in danger of drowning. He has a mark on his arm which he received in one of the strug- g1es. She was revived when they reached the shore.
 The last event" of the day was when a married woman went in be- yond her depth and Donahue was again Johnny on the Spot
 MT. Donahue is receiving many con- gratuiations and certainly deserves them for he showed great coolness and bravery in his actions.

MOTORCYCLIST HITS WAGON
 ON MAIN STREET
William Heether, Driver of the Motor
 cycle, Only One Injured.

Both rear wheels of George Grants wagon were taken off by William Heether's motorcycle in an accident on
 Main street near the poor farm Tues l day evening about 10 o'clock. Grant
 stopped PatrolInan Pau1hus on his | beat and when they arrived at the 1 station house Heether was there talk | ing with Lieutenant McCarthy Each 1 told different story of the accident. 1 Heether, who resides at Flanders Hill 1 Coventry, says that he was going tow ! ard Coventry at rate between Is and
 20 miles an hour. He was in the mid 1 dle of the street and did not see any i light on the wagon. The first thing | he knew he hit the wagon, smashing i the front of his motorcycle and taking 1 eff the rear wheels of the We gon. 1 Grant, who lives at B Jackson street said he was coming toward Whitman tic with his horse walking slowly and was in or near the trolley tracks. He says that he saw Heether turn the corner and thought Heether might hit him, so he swung his wagon to the right towards the sidewalk, but he was too late. The motorcycle took off the
 rear wheels, letting the wagon down
 on the hubs. putting out the lantern
 which he claims to have had lit hang
 ing under the wagon.
 No one saw the accident except a
 man named Robinson who is prejll-
 diced against the nlotorcyclist as he
 says Heether goes by the house at a
 rate of 60 miles an hour with the muf-
 fer open. He lays the blame of the accident on Heether, saving the wag-
 on was on the right hand side. Grant and Robinson placed the accident at different places, while Heether admits
 that he does not know where it was exactly. The exact position cannot be determined since the horse carried the wagon away and Grant moved it into c driveway.
 Heether had been in the habit of traVelIng past there at high rate of speed, but he stopped speeding when warned by the officer several weeks ago. Robinson admitst he had not seen H6ether speeding since he was warned by the police. Personal in Jurles were confined to Heether, whose l left leg was cut and bruised It will cost about s30 or $40 to repair the | motorcycle, while the wagon only needs two wheels Nothing definite | could be settled by the party that | went to the scene of the accident last | night and they will appear in todav's | GNednesday's) session of the police | court.
