Piank Broke, Child Fell in Cesspool, 
Were it not for the fact that work- 
men were concreting the sidewalk on 
Pleasant street, opposite the residence 
of E. Elmer Butler, last Saturday 
afternoon, little Miss Gladys Hildreth, 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George 
Hildreth, might have suffered an un- 
timely death by drowning in a cess- 
pool in Mr. Butler’s yard. She was 
playing with other children in the 
yard, when one of the planks covering 
a cesspool gave way, and without any 
warning the child fell into the hole 
and was almost up to her neck when 
Daniel J. Meany and’ John Gary, 
working on the sidewalk, rescued her 
from her position. Much praise is 
due these two men for their prompt 
action.
