DOG PULLS GIRL FROM RIVER

Indiana Farmer’s Child Saved from Death by Drowning. Lowell, Ind., Aug. 20.—Elsie Mason, four-yeai-old daughter of Frank Mason, a farmer, was rescued from drowning in the Kankakee river by Prince, a shepherd dog. The girl fell out of a rowboat, in which her father and mother were seated, while attempting to pick water lilies. “Elsie is in the water!” shouted Mrs. Mason, hysterically. The next instant Prince plunged into the river, seized the girl’s dress and swam to shore with her.
