There were no witnesses to the acci dent. but the child floated down the river, by the Menley home, and was noticed by Miss Lennle Manley, wh* summoned aid In getting the baby from the river. Woodrow Masters, who was nearby, swam out Into the river, rescued the child which was unconeclous, and aided In giving artificial respiration. Dr. C. L. Newland of brevard, was summoned, and arrived In about thir ty minutes. The doctor examined the child, and said that he found no water In. It* lungs.

Th'e child was carried by the river current over 100 yards from the place It evidently fell In. Dr. Newland said that the only way he could account for the fact that it did not drown, was that tt possibly was stunned from the fall Into the water, or was shocked so severely by tho chilliness of water, and It did not breathe after striking the water.
