Came Nearly Being Drowned

There came very nearly being a fatality on the Huron river Monday. Miss Mary Redlund, a clerk for Miss Markham, Miss E. Redimid, a senior in the university, and a little girl name Selma Poltzen, who lives with them, went down to the river to watch the skaters. They ventured too near an unsafe place near the edge. The ice gave way beneath them and all three were precipitated into the cold water. At the point where they broke through, the water reached nearly to the chins of the older girls and was deeper than the heighth of their young companion. The older girls had great presence of mind and literally threw the little girl up on the ice. Her single weight was easily borne until help came and all were rescued from their very chilly predicament.

A hack was hastily summoned and they were removed to their home where all care was given them so that they would not be attacked by a serious cold.
