Dog in Hole Has
Firemen Stumped
COLORADO SPRINGS. Col., July
25.-If you had a fox terrier puppy
at the bottom of a six-inch hole,
22 feet deep, how would you at-
tempt to rescue it?
Patty Ruby, young son of Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Ruby of Colorado
Springs, stood by worried while
firemen considered that question.
After several hours, Patty's
grandfather came home and sug-
gested a slip noose on the end of a
long pole. The noose slipped around
the puppy's middle, it was pulled
taut and the puppy came out un-
hurt.
The hole had been drilled for
water.
