    A plucky attempt to save a lad from drowning in the canal at Lydiate is reported. A lad named William Cheetham, 8, son of Robert Cheetham, a boatman, of Lydiate, fell into the canal while attempting to recover his hoop from the water. His companion ran to an adjoining boat-builder's yard, and Mr Daniel H Lund rushed to the spot. He saw a bubble on the water and dived in several times. He failed, however, to find the boy, and a few minutes later the body was recovered with a boathook. Artificial respiration was tried, but without success.
