bridge for a depth of seven feet. More-
n! over, the Ice jam at the bridge became so
n: serious that it was a. question if the bridge 1

It was in an
effort to protect the town property that
Mr. Dillon got caught' in the predicament.
ice' below the bridge, and chopped for a
' time to make a clear channel for the
stream. While with his back to the open
water he was chopping he felt the ice
loosen, and almost before he knew it his
impromptu raft had swerved off into the
current. Besides the dark W ater all around,
rotten and leaky, so when he approached
a firmer cake he gave a mighty leap and
luckily landed all right. Then his new
raft floated down for a distance of seventy
five yards from the bridge, and at last the
selectm: m w as enabled to anchor by catch-
ing hold of? .tree at a distance of seventy-
five feet from the shore. Although the
buzz of the wire mill could be plainly
heard, and he could see men passing in and
out, they did not hear his frantic shouts.
Just then Lincmcn Raiche and Whalen,
out fixing the telegraph wires, happened to
pass over the bridge, and they saw the se-
lectman s predicament. They took prompt
action. As 1 )0 stream bed flooded the road
beyond the bridge, cutting off approach, it
became necessarv for some one to swim
across. So Whalen unhitched the horse,
' and ty 111g an end of a long coil of wire to
his waist be mounted the animal and
drove straight into the water. Raiche
manarrcd the 11 ire from the shore. Their
idea w as to run a. Wire across the stream
below the man, so that any craft put 0115
to his rescue should not be swept down.
Whalen and the horse struggled desperate-
ly for a. time, the Wire nearly pulling OR
the man and the turbulent water nearly
dragging down the horse. At lastdry land
was reached. Luckily by this time the em—
ployes of the wire mill had discovered the
plight of the selectman, who was still
shivering on the ice cake. Headed by the
superintendent they flocked to the shore.
The superintendent ordered a raft to be
built, and lumber was soon on the spotand
a sizable float was launched. Attached to
it was the wire, which James Raiche still
held 'on' the upper shore. Then a young
man volunteered to be the boatman, and
armed with a. long pole he shoved off; the
stream caught the raft and nearly sub
.merged it, but the wire kept it ~fi'om float-
ing down stream, and it was kept clear of
;°the1ce by means of the long pole. With
infinite difficulty the boatinan at last
reached Mr. Dillon, who was almost ex-
hausted, and grabbing him by the coatcol;
lar he pulled him on boardand thenstarted
back. The return trip was watched mth
breathless interest by the crowd, and the
superintendent and other employee oft-he
