FIRENEN RESCUE YOUNGSTER
FROM DROWNING ON GROUND

NEW YORK.-Firemen of Truck
6 and the rescue squad worked all
most two hours to release the right
arm of Bernard Gates, seven years
old, of % Ludlow street, between
Eester and Canal streets. The boy
nearly drowned before he was re-
leased.
The lad thrust his bare arm inside
the hydrant from which the cap had
been removed, to recover penny
which had been given him for rum
ming an Grand one of his compan-
ions had thrown it into the opening.
When Bernard pushed his arm in
he was unable to withdraw 1t and
the more he struggled the more
firmly he became bound. In their
efforts to release the boy, volunteer
rescuers in some way turned on the
water which gushed forth in flood
that enveloped the captive, who was
at once seen to be in danger of
drowning.
Mechanics from the Iaskinsky Iron
works on Ludlow street were sum-
moned and acetylene torches were
used in an effort to cut the bolts OF
the hydrant. Meanwhile a call had
been sent in for the rescue squad
which responded in charge of Lieu
tenant Jones. At the same time
fire truck arrived. Bernard had
become unconscious and was sus-
pended by his imprisoned arm from
the hydrant, his body being support
ed by his mother, Anna Gates. More
than 1000 persons gathered and re-
serves from the Clinton street po-
lice station were summoned to pre-
serve order.
While the excitement was at it's
height Fire Commissioner homas
brennan took charge Of the rescue.
Firemen working in relays burned
the base of the hydrant away with
acetylene torches and at last lifted
it, releasing the boy.
An ambulance from Gouverneur
hospital arrived just as young Gates
was released. He was attended by
DR.. Burman and revived sufficiently
to be taken home.
The hydrant is one Of those that
have been used in filling street baths
Used by children in many downtown
streets. The cap had been removed
in order that hose could be readily
attached.

Nine ear-Old Girl,
Is, Declared to Be
Real ''Mind Reader u

I KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 1S.-A
undergoing prodigy is Nellie Cor
dell, nine years old, of Harlan, KY.
The little girl reveals ones inner
most thoughts, and does it without
mechanical assistance Of any char
acter, depending solely upon her in
born ability to look into ones mind
and heart and disclose the subject
uppermost therein.
Nellie came to Knoxville accom-
panied by her father, L. E. Cordell,
who is a mechanic employed in coal
mining operations in the Harlan dis
trict. She called at newspaper Of
flee, where she gave a demonstration
conclusive in it's conviction that she
has supernatural power, that she
can disclose the subjects Of thought
In the mind of another, and that this
cal assistance, such as Is often sus-
pected of being used by the profess
sional mind readers"
According to her father, Nellie first
revealed the possession Of this pow
er when about three years of age. He
states that at very early age she
would voluntarily tell him where he
was going when he would leave home.
This seemed to be so extraordinary,
and as she was always correct in her
forecast, it excited the wonder of
his wife and himself. AS she has
grown older, this talent has intensi-
fed, until now Mr.. Cordell says her
skill has developed until sch is a
Junior girl with thousand eyes,"
He says mind specialists have exam
ined her, and pronounce her a marvel
and a prodigy, the character of which
they cannot explain other than that
she is naturally endowed with a gift
arerly possessed by human.
Nellie was born at Jellico and
later her parents moved to Middles-
boro, where they resided until about
one year ago, when they went to Har-
Ian. their present home.
