The quiet waters of Willoughby
lake witnessed Sunday afternoon a
scene that rivalled the thrilling acts
of. heroism and. self-sacrifice that
have forevere glorified the blood
stained fields of . France. ""About four
o'clock Arthur Rossier with several
of his farmer friends living on the
west side of the lake, went for a
swim to Crescent beach. While
bathing, Napoleon Maillot, the 17-year-old
son of Elzear Maillot, one of
Mr. Rossier's neighbors, waded out
until the water was up to his shoul
ders, and as he was able to swim a
few strokes, set out to swim parallel
to thes hore. After going a short
distance he stopped and was fright
ened cbeause he could not touch the
bottom. Later it was found that he
was over a hole dug out by the brook
that comes down at that point from
the hills. After ging odown twict
and coming up a second time he call
ed to Mr. Rossier, who was near. Mr.
Rossier, who could only swim a lit
tle, rushed to the hely of young
Maillot, just as he was going down
for the third time, caught him around
the waist and began swimming "un
der water with him. toward the
shore. In the excitement Maillot put
his right hand on Rossier's shoulder,
keeping him down, but Rossier, with
the one thought of saving the boy,
swam on under water, without one?
coming to the surface to take breath
until he had pushed him toward the
shore where he was able to touch the
bottom and so escape with his life.
The effort, however, cost Rossier's
own life He slipped back into the
deeper hole, still swimming under
water, but without strength to "rise
to the surface. It is probable that
his heart was unable to bear the
strain.
The boys who were bathing near
the scene were unfortunately unable
to swim and so called for help. Thsir
cries were heard by Lieut. Emerson
Swift, the son of Dr. Swift of New
York, whose cottage is at the end of
the beach, and he and his sister came
at once with a boat. With the aid of
the boys Lieutenant Swift immedi
ately carried the body of Mr. Rossier
to the shore and with the help of Dr.
Swift and others, worked for over
three hours, using all possible meth
ods for restoring the drowned, but
the overstrained heart would not re
spond. "-- - -' -. . . . -. "-
Mr. Rossier's heroic act was m
perfect keeping with his record as a
husband and citizen. Two years
ago he was married to Miss Webster
of Coventry and their life together
has been unique because of its hap
piness and devotion. They have re
sided in Westmore for only a year,
but already he had become one of its
most enterprising and loyal citizens.
During the past spring they joined
the Westmore church and have been
actively identified with its communi
ty work. He was one of the mem
bers of the committee of thirty for

Barton played Lyndonville Satur
day, Aug. 30, on the fairground and
won handily, 7 to 4. Heath pitched
with all his cunning and most of his
stuff of years gone by. His support
was strong all the way. Emerson
made a brilliant catch in 'left and T.
Lee took nine chances without a slip.
B. Lee, T. Lee and Leland made a
double play that would have looked
fast in any league. For Lyndonville
Ahem played a star game and Burns
hurled in good style.

Nipped at Newport,
That long-awaited, first game of
the series with Newport was played
Aug. 27 at Newport and it was a
thriller. The teams were well match
ed but seemed over anxious at times.
In the first innning on two hits, two
errors and a sacrifice Barton made
three runs. This seemed a safe lead
but it rained after the second inning
and with a wet ball in the third Lee
lost his effectiveness. A combina
tion of three hits, a walk and an er
ror gave Newport four runs. From
then on Lee pitched shut-out ball and
deserved to win. In the Lucky sev
enth, Heath led off with a hit and Lee
followed . withj a three-bagrger this "
scoring Heath and himself on a wild
heave to the plate. Again Barton
seemed to have it safe, with Lee go
ing strong, but accidents will happen.
In the last of the ninth, with his sup
port crumbled, making three errors
in succession and handing Newport
two runs and the game.
