    Springfield, Illinois., May 7-A shepherd dog belonging to Arthur Sattley made a pitiful attempt Sunday to save the life of young Walter Watts Gard, who was drowned in a brick yard pond. Only the closing scene of the tragedy was witnessed. Just as a companion of Gard reached the pond the lad sank for the last time. A moment later the dog rose to the surface and swam to the bank in an exhausted condition. When the body was recovered prints of the dog’s teeth upon the arms showed the efforts the brute had made to save his friend.
