stand erect In water above his
waist but could not get out of the
chute as II Is constructed OF planks
ten or twelve feet high. and as no

Mcdonald and she attempted to get
him out with some ropes but the
ropes were too short and she was OBJ
Iiged to phone to the Kerry ranch for
help. Fortunately. four boys At
that place came at once in their car
and after some difficulty succeeded IN
rescuing Mr.. Maddox who had be-
come numbed with the cold.
Mr.. Maddox went to the Mcdonald
home and after drying out" and be-
ing filled up on hot coffee. seemed
none the worse for hs experience but
II was very close call to drowning a
good water commissioner.
