BEGS FOR SECOND CHANCE.

Shelbyville Man Rescued After Attempt to Drown Himself. Shelbyville, Ind., July 20.—Lloyd Ash, 28 years old, was fished from Blue river by Alfred and John Schultz, who were boating on the river at the time when the man threw himself in the river, bent on committing suicide. Ash had been drinking and would have drowned but for the prompt action of the boys. He begged them to allow him to jump into the river again after they had landed him on the bank.
