TRENTONIAN SAVES LIVES OF 2 LITTLE FOLKS AT MILLTOWN

MILLTOWN, Jan. 29. – Two foreign-born children from South Milltown miraculously escaped death by drowning yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock in Lawrence Brook when they walked off the ice into the open water near the bridge connecting North and South Milltown.

The water at this point is exceptionally deep and it is still a mystery as to how the two children escaped going to the bottom. It is believed that the clothing they had on kept them floating, as they were in the water up to their necks and at this place the water is at least ten feet deep.

Cries from employees in the Michelin plant brought Earl D. Moore of Trenton, a brother of Druggist Albert Moore of this place, Henry Heusel and Abner Headley to the rescue of the children and Mr. Moore plunged right into the water, grabbed the children and with the able assistance of Mr. Heusel and Mr. Headley, safely brought the boy and girl to shore.

The quick action of Mr. Moore, his splendid nerve and general help, as well as that of Mr. Heusel and Mr. Headley who assisted, are worthy of commendation. The two children walked home, apparently none the worse for their experience and still holding onto their school books.

Good Entertainment.

The literary program given at the Methodist Church last evening was very interesting and a fair-sized crowd enjoyed the program.

The debates were the hit of the evening and the results followed:

“Resolved, That the Public Service is justified in asking for a ten cent fare.” Won by the affirmative speaker, Eugene Reeves.

“Resolved, That women would make better politicians than men,” won by the negative speaker, Joseph Crabiel.

“Resolved, That cosmetics are beneficial to the complexion.” Won by affirmative speaker, Miss Anna Hofer.

“Resolved, That cootie garages or dips are an aid to beauty as well as beneficial to the health.” Won by affirmative speaker, Miss Helen Lindstrom.

Rev. Mr. Sadlos of Bridgeport, Conn., will preach at the Reformed Church tomorrow.
