MOTHER FOLLOWED
HER CHILD WHO &
FELL into C|STERN
NElGHBOR LADY VIEWS OCCUR
ANCE AND THROWS ROPE
AND SAVES BOTH

Mrs. Guy Wright had an experience
last Thursday morning when her lit
tie four year old daughter fell into
the cistern on the family residence
lot on the north side and one which
she will undoubtedly never forget in
that it came very near costing the
lives of the little daughter and her
self and even after they were pulled
out and saved from death by drowning
the effects of the shock and exposure
might have had serious consequence.
The child happened to fall into the
cistern which had been left open and
the mother, seeing it disappear lost
no time whatever in jumping in after
the little one and by standing up in the
five feet of water which the pit con-
tanned, she was able to hold the little
girl above the water until help arrived
which happened along mighty soon
in the form of Mrs. Emma Fuller and
rope and quick, plucky work on the
part of the latter soon had the mother
and child out of the cistern and into
bed. DIR. Dutt was called and he gave
treatment to forestall any bad effects
which might develop as a result of the
plunge.
Mrs. Fuller had remained at home
from work that morning or the affair
might have had far different Sc
quence.
