TRAILED UNDER ICE AND
IS SAVED FROM DROWNING

Duluth, Minn., April 17.—Winifred,
the 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. G. C. Maudslay of this city, nar-
rowly escaped drowning yesterday
when she fell into a hole in the ice
on a creek that runs near her home.
She went under the ice and could
be seen.

An alarm was raised and
neighbors
followed the child for
two blocks, when several men broke a hole
through the ice and as the child swept
past the hole drew her out.

Strangely enough, when taken home
the baby, who was unconscious when
rescued, came to and set up a loud
cry.
