Narrow Escape From Drowning
At Luke Chute

Judge Ernest E. Erb of the Ma
rietta police court had thrilling
experience Sunday when he slipped
off the Muskingum river dam at
Luke Chute and plunged into deep
water. The judge is one of the we'll
known Waltonians of Marietta, and
was in quest of bass at the Luke
Chute dam. Friends used a rope
to lower him to the apron Of the
dam that he might do some bait
casting in the swift current near
mid-stream. He lost his footing
and plunged downward into about
twenty feet of water.
In spite of the fact that he was
fully clad and had considerable
amount of fishing tackle attached to
him, he was able to fight his way
around wing wall, and landed on
the shore at the east side of the
Times.
