RIvERMAN RESCUES
40 WOUNDED SWANS
Defies Police, Climbs Onto Ice
Floes and Makes Scared
Birds Fly Away.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NIAGARA FALLS. Ontario, April l.
ignoring orders of police, William
(Red) Hill. Falls riverman, climbed out
on the ice foes In the lower Niagara
River below the Horseshoe Falls late
yesterday and reused 40 or more wound
ed wild swans which had lain on the
foes most of the day afraid to take
wing. The birds few away, and Hill
believes they made their way to Jack
Miners bird sanctuary at Kingsville,
Ontario.
Hill had tried to get permission of
police to go out on the ice and rescue
the wounded swans. When permission
was not given him he turned to news
paper men standing with him at Table
Rock, overlooking the gorge and the
Horseshoe Falls, and declared he could
stand 1t no longer.
! He made his way down the gorge bank
to the rivers edge and then climbed
ever the ice to point a short distance
from the foot of the Horseshoe Falls
where the wounded swans were grouped.
Shouting and waving his arms, Hill
succeeded in soaring the birds so they
arose from the ice and few out of the
gorge. He made no effort to capture
any of them and did not try to recover
any of the more than 100 dead birds
frozen in the ice. Officials of the Queen
Victoria Park watched Hill from the
roof of the Ontario Power Co.'S plant
below the gorge bank. They made no
move to arrest him.
The swans went over the Horseshoe
Falls on Wednesday night, many being
killed and others wounded when they
were dashed against the rocks at the
foot Of the cataract.
