RUNS 2 BLOCKS, SAVED BABE FROM DEATH IN RIVER
Witnessing the accident from Twenty-First street bridge, Julius Weina today
saved 3-year-old Kenneth Wilda from death in the river when the child, a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Wilda, fell from the dock at Nineteenth street into
the water. Weina, who was working near the Twenty-First street bridge, but
across the river, started on a run when he saw the boy fall off the dock and
reached the scene in time to save the lad. Joseph Burish, who was working
with Weina, followed the other man and aided Weina and the boy to the dock.
The police amubulance was summoned but upon arrival it was found that the boy
was uninjured and had suffeered no ill effects. The child was taken home.
