LITTLE GIRL SAVED
FROM RIVER DEATH
THIRTEEN YEAR OLD CoU-

BRAVERY OF HUTTERER
Waterman At Tile Works Per-
formed Heroic Feat For
--. Eda Franklin.

Presence of mind, and GOODNESS
under trying circumstances on the
part of thirteen year old Bernadine
Franklin of West Mankato is all that
saved the lives of man and child
who were struggling for their lives
in keeping af1oat in a twenty foot
pool of water in the Blue Earth riv-
er last night near the Minnesota
Pipe and Tile works.
Little Eda Franklin, fifteen, cou-
sim of Bernadine, and the daughter
Of Mrs. Lydia Franklin, sol West
Fifth street, was wading in the wa
ter of the Blue Earth river. Sud
denly she stepped of into a deep
pool. Bernadine Franklin, her cou-
sin, and another small girl happened
along about that time. Bernadlne
seeing her cousin in the water waded
out to her neck in the river, but re-
TUNED to shore. Just then SylVes-
ternHutterer, night Waterman at the
Minnesota Pipe and Tile works, saw
the girl struggling in the water and
went to her aid. In her fright, the

drowned.
Little Girl To Rescue.
Little thirteen year old Bernadlne,
however, had her head working. She
saw a plank lying near the edge Of
the water and hurriedly got this in
to the water and showed out toward
the two struggling persons in the
river. Eda managed TO get hold
on the board and freed her grip on
MT. Hutterer's neck, and was
brought to shore.
Mt. Hutterer, no doubt, often
heard of the grip of drowning per-
son. but last evening had the ex-
perience which nearly ended his
own life. The child hung on so
desperately that the cords in Mr..
Uutterer's neck are badly strained
this morning and he is suffering in
tense pain. Mr.. Hutterer deserves
great credit for the part he took in
rescuing the child. He was the on
~ man at the plant at the time. Tne
instant that he saw the child slip
into the deep pool he unhesitatingiy
riunged into the deep water 70 ner
-srses.c. and would have brought her
10 shore, if in her desperation she
had not hampered his movements
by nearly choking him.
How little Bernadine ever got the
feayy plank into the water is won
der. The screams of the children
is what first attracted Mr.. Hutterers
attention. Eda had gone to the r1v-
er to get some gravel TO put In the
chicken coop, and started to wade
in the water when she slipped into
the deep pool.

SNYDER SAYS WIFE
USED CUSS WORDS
FORMER MANKATo HOTEL
= MAN DENIES CHARGE
PUTSIN HISCR0SS-BILL
He Declares That Allegations
Made In Complaint Are
All False

Mrs. Recta Annette Snyder, for
merly Of Mankato, manager of grand
opera in st. Paul for many years,
leader in musical circles, and com
plainant in a sensational divorce
suit fled in district court at St. Paul
Thursday against Fred Handy Sny-
der, former owner and manager OF
the Frederic hotel, cursed and swore
at her husband on many occasions
and threatened him and it was with
difficulty that he prevented her from
doing him serious harm. he alleges
in a cross bill field Friday afternoon.
The cross bill was accompanied
by an answer TO her complaint, and
was filed by J. II. Mitchell, tit
Pioneer building, Snyder's counsel.
IN his answer, the husband denies
all of his wife's allegations in which
she connected him with prominent
St Paul married woman in esca-
pades at the Snyder home at Smell
ing and Larpenteur avenues. Num-
erous parties with other women at
various California resorts also al
legged by the wife, are denied in the
cross bill.
Lived Apart, Snyder Says. =
The husband charges that his wife
has refused to recognize him for the
past three years or treat him as a
husband. He says that she has lived
apart from him and for five years
has kept up continuous course OF
petty annoying and veatious nag
cling, hampering and interfering with
him In the conduct of hiF business"
He accuses her of making false
malicious charges against loyal and
efficient employees.
That Mrs. Snyder is insanely jeal-
Gus is the husbands assertion. She
even resented ordinary civility to
other women on his part and falsely
accused him of improper relations
with them, he charges. She both
spoke and wrote to Others of those
suspicious, much TO his detrtment,
he alleges.
In his answer Mr.. Snyder denies
that his wife contributed out OF her
earnings, as she alleges in her bill,
toward the purchase of the Snyder
country home at Smelling and Lar
penteur avenues. He admits. how
ever, that she occasionally purchased
a piece of furniture for the home.
Snyder Denies $500, 900 Properly
He denies that the entire property
ON which the home is located and
that adjacent to it which he owns,
is worth $50, 900 as she AYERS. He es-
timated the value at $4,000. Mr..
Snyder also denies, as alleged by his
wife, that he has stocks, bonds and
securities worth 100000, declaring
that they are not worth more than
Ssh, 600 That Mrs. Snyder for several
years has had an independent in
come of s2.500 annually is another
assertion made in the cross bill.
A few years ago Mr. Snyder pur-
chased a Ave- acre tract for Mrs.
Snyder in Florida and the property
now is worth several thousand dol
lars, he declares.
While Mrs. Snyder in her bill asks
for only a limited divorce with sep
arate maintenance, her husband de-
mands an absolute divorce.
