MORE ROBBERIEs

Another robbery occurred Sunday
evening at Andrew ostrand's home, SO
exactly similar in every way TO the
one at Geo Brotherton's on Pikers'
day that IL is generally conceded that
the same one or ones Is responsible
for both acts. The screen TO one
OF the cellar windows was slashed
and admittance gained in that way.
The thieves ransacked every nook
and corner OF the house, looking for
money. finally running on TO a dollar
that was left in Mrs. Ostrands hand
bag on the kitchen table. One OF
the children's banks were opened but
fortunately the cash in IL had been
sent TO the bank for deposit the day
previous.
After assuring themselves there
was no more money TO be had the
thieves walked out the front door,
leaving IL unlocked The robbery
was pulled OF between the hours OF
500 o'clock a. IN. and $3.50 p. m. and

BROUGHT BACK FROM DEATH
Gust Erickson, Line Man For Power
Co. Revived After Getting 6,GOO
Volts md Falling 80 Feet

Gust Erickson, lineman for the Pc
ninsula Power company, owes bis life
today TO the efficient work OF the Cd
gers mine first aid crew under the per-
sonal direction OF Supt. Oswald, as
sisted by Wilson Gambril and Frank
Bertrand.
Erickson was engaged In making
the transfer by which the current was
cut out Of the old power house and
switched into the new engine house
There was mo time TO lose In making
the switch as all current had 10 be
cut on in the dnterregnum, go when
everything was in readiness Alpha
was called up and told 70 shut OF
the current-the stepping down plant
for this section is at Alpha.
In order TO be ready to work the
minute the current was cut OF, Erick-
son climbed the tower while the cur
rent was on and In some way he came
in contact with an open wire. The
shock OF the 5000 volts caused him
first 20 adhere 20 the wire and In
few seconds he broke away and fel,
10 the ground, 30 feet below.
A first aid call was put in for the
crew and the men came on the run
in remarkably quick time. Erickson
lay TO all appearances dead. His
breathing had stopped and II he had
been left a few moments longer he
would never had revived
The pulmoter was set at work and
the boys started as they had been in
structed TO do. in their work about
the stricken man. In Just three
minutes afterwards respiration com
menced and in short time he was in
such condition that he could be taken
to the hospital where he was kept for
day and then let go as well.
His escape from death is remark
able and proves the great efficiency
OF the contrivances for resuscitation
and the value OF the training that Is
given first aid crews about the mines.

Another fatality came near being
registered al Fortune lake last sun

OF the Ball and Jacobs lots. For
some reason Mrs. Larson decided 70
swim 10 the shore and she jumped of
the raft She was not an extra good
swimmer and II seems that when she
found herself in beyond her depth
she got scared and gave distress
signal. She Immediately went down.
Ms. Jessen TO Rescue
First the boy attempted TO save her
and she carried the little fellow down
with her. He managed TO break her
hold when Mrs. Jessen, seeing her
predicament, went TO her rescue and
the drowning woman grabbed her sis
ter and both of them went down
where a struggle on the part OF Mrs.
Jessen to break the hold and az the
same time aid her sister occurred.
Mrs. Jessen finally succeeded in
breaking her hold and as she rose To
the surface, she saw Mr.. Jessen in
gasoline launch a few rods away.
She called for assistance and Mr.. Jes-
sen, without waiting to take OF any
OF his clothing, jumped into the water
and went TO his wife's assistance.
He grappled with Mrs. larson, thus
freeing Mrs. Jessen who was able TO
save herself, but MTs. Larson clung
to Jessen and he soon realized that
with the handicap OF his clothes and
shoes he was in danger OF his own
life II he tried TO assist his sister-in
law. He cried out 20 Mr.. Frank Ball
and Mr.. BAH and his son, Dorman,
Immediately came TO the rescue. Dor
man was able TO assist the drowning
woman TO the shore.
Life Was Nearly Extinct
When Mrs. Larson was brought TO
the dock her face was blue and II
was thought that life was extinct.
The men folks had all arrived by this
time, among them one of the guests
who happened 10 have flask or whis.
key In HIS grip. A few drops OF the
whiskey were gotten down the ex-
hausted woman and thds seemed 20
start circulation again and after
bout ten minutes more work respira-
tion started.
In the mean time Dr. Bovik had
been summoned and he rushed to the

PENN TEAMS LEAD
 IS STRENGTHENED
Defeat of Dartmouth Brightens
 Championship Hopes

New York, Jan 31.-Although only one ganre was played in the Inter- collegiate Basketball League the last week. it furnished probably the great est upset of the season at far as it has gone. Princeton which had won only a single game in three contests defeated the fast-traveling Dartmouth five on tkc Hanover floor, thus in fiicting the second defeat Of the year on the Green and putting the latter near the danger limit of three defeats.
 AS the result of the Hanoverian's. downfall the champion Penn team has. strengt hened it's hold on first place. The Red and Blue has won two games and lost one. Dartmouth is second with three triumphs and two setbacks. and Cornell. Princeton and Columbia arc tied for third with figures of 500. Cornell and Princeton have won two out of four and Columbia one out of two. Yale trails the procession with three defeats in as many starts. No games will be playedthis week because of the presence of the dreaded mid year examinations.
 Although his team was defeated, Cullen of Dartmouth took a firmer grip on first place among the individ ual scorers. The Green man has caged 16 field goals and 28 fouls, for a total of SO. Captain Danny McNichol of Penn is still tied for second with Sidman of Cornell. each having 36 points, 24 behind Cullen. Molinet of Cornell is third with 32. and Legendre of Princeton, who has played only three games, slipped past Johnson of Columbia and now nestles in fourth position. The Tiger has field goals and 13 fouls for total of 27.,
 Dartmouth has played one more game than any other team and con- sequently leads in team scoring, with 120 tallies in five contests. Cornell, which is second with 104. has a bet ter average, however-104 in four contests, an average a game of 26. This is the best mark in the league. Penn still leads on the defensive side. The champions have only 34 points scored against them in two games. The Red and Blue is in the van as regards number of fouls thrown 32-and Dartmouth's field goal total -45-tops all rivals.
