Little Collie Meets
Death in Icy Waters

Struggling in vain to gain a foot
ing upon the treacherous ice under
the kennebec river foot bridge Mon
day noon, a small yellow collie dog
slipped suddenly from view in the
icy waters Of the river and disap-
peared. He was swept under the ice
and was not again seen.
Last night in some home, his alb
sence was noted and probably com
mented upon with the words ooh
he'll return tomorrow without fail"
But he is gone. A few minutes be-
fore he was romping about care free
and happy. then with the sudden
ness of fate he slipped beneath the
black waters. gone forever.
Thus, suddenly. without warning,
passed a dog. He was nothing of
pedigreed stock and many would ! ass
him each day on the street with I'M
seeing eyes. But he was warm :
hearted little thing and while he was
on earth made someone's life hap
pier in consequence.
