Dear Editor:

I was fascinated by the small, special, social interest item that was in your paper on May 11,2014.  The little article was in the left top column of a reproduction of the St. Paul Sunday Pioneer Press , May 10, 1914.  Although, most of the headings in the microfiche (?) copy were quite legible, the main body was quite blurry and hard to make out at times.  However, because I was so intrigued by the title of the article, I went to work to try and remove the obstacles.  I am happy to report that I have been successful in my endeavor!

Please find herein the results of my efforts.  The picture is in jpg format and can be magnified.

Thank you for your wonderful paper, and best wishes for continued success!

Sincerely,

Hénock Gugsa ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Boy is Whipped After Rescuing Drowning Youth

Special to the Pioneer Press

     Duluth, May 9 - The fact that Theodore Trudel, 8 years old, saved the life of his companion, Harry Nyborg, 4 years old, did not save him a whipping today when he went home with wet clothing.  The Nyborg boy fell into St. Louis bay while playing near the Northern Pacific railroad bridge on Rice's Point.  Theodore jumped and dragged his playmate ashore.
