i Mary Allison Gordon , Aged 3 yrs.
and 3 mos. , daughter of Grace and
Curtis Gordon , while visiting at-her
aunt's fell into the Niobrara river
last Friday and was drowned about
2 o'clock while out at play with
Wintah McFarland , her cousin who
is the daughter of G. W. McFarland
and wife , and live near the Berry
bridge. Wintah was making whis
tles and while cutting a stick missed
her < little cousin and ran to the house
saying "Allie's gone. " Mrs. Mc
saFi
Farland ran to the river and discov
ered the body of the little girl float
ing" 5 ar 6 rods ' 'own the river and
jumped in the water after her. The
current being strong and the water
deep , it bore Mrs. McFarland down
stream : , entangling her dress until
she : was -unable to stand up , then
with a heroic effort she tore the skirt
from < her as she went down stream
and in each effort she was unsuc
cessful in reaching the child , which
cem
was rapidly being carried down
stream : , She reached the shore sev
eral times and ran along the bank ,
plunging in when she had reached
the little girl floating nearly at the
top ; of the water , but each time she
was too late to catch the body , until
she had gone a half mile down the
river , where she succeeded in rescu
ing the lifeless form of her little
niece , but the water was deep and
the current strong so that she stood
exhausted and once came near faint 9
ing but dipped some water in one
.
hand to bathe her temples , while
with the' other arm she held the
body . of the little girl , swaying un
steadily in the strong current of the
Niobrara. After getting her breath
ai few times , Mrs. McFailand started
for the shore and succeeded in get
ting out of the water. She then car- 6
ntd the body back a half mile to her
home. Little Wintah was no where
to be seen but witii the idea that
she < could yet bring Mary Allison
back < to life , she began working with
he : , believing that her own child
had ponsibly followed her into the ha
river and was floating down stream. IS
But Wintah , though only 5 years
old , had gone for her father who
was about a mile and a quarter
away , having crossed one stream ,
or 12 inches deep by taking off
her : shoes and stockings and then
ran on to tell papa that mamma
cat
wa in the river. He returned as
speedily < as possible but by this time ing
wife was working to bring the
little girl back to life. Dr. J3hockley . Sui
happened ] to be riding that way by ,
accident and wjis called in and did

that could be done to restore

Alligators move rapidly under water ,

harpoon "will penetrate only the least

pass with making fast the weapon.
One afternoon in the Cheesehowltz- \
river I harpooned a large alligator &
which towed me up and do\vn the
stream for an hour or two and theu
sulked in its deepest part. I pulled on
line until the boat was directly
over him and stirred him up with the
harpoon pole. He rolled blinself up on
line in the manner peculiar to
sharks : * and alligators and banged the
boat suggestively. We rowed to the
bank and , making fast to some bushes ,
hauled on the line until we succeeded
worrying him nearly to the boat ,
when he rose to the surface and at
tacked us with open mouth. We re
pelled the attack with harpoon pole
rifle. The former was promptly
bitten in three pieces , but the latter ap
parently finished him. It was so nearly
dark that we decided to carry him in
skiff a mile down the river to where Fc
sloop was anchored. We broke the ol
seats out of the boat and together man agent

A Wet Umbrella.
Never leave an umbrella standing on
point in the ordinary way when
. The water trickles down , spoiling
silk and making the wires rusty. It
also a mistake to open it and leave it
standing , as this stretches the silk ,
making it baggy so that it is impossi
to fold it smoothly. The proper
is to shake out as much of the
water as possible , then stand the um
brella on its handle to drain.
