Bently Hutchings, little son of Gerald and Neva Chappel Hutchings, was . found submerged submer-ged at the headgate of the stream, one and a half blocks from the place in which he fell into the water. He had already gone under the culvert cross-, ing Second East. The barking dog, which followed fol-lowed the boy down the ditch, attracted the attention of the grandfather, LaVon Chappell, who picked the boy from the stream and with Earl Warren applied artificial respiration, saving the life of the child. The fire department also responded re-sponded to the alarm. Commenting on the accident this week", Chief Ashley Graham Gra-ham said he recommended a guard at the culvert under which the child was carried. |
