As he was half­ way to his destination he encounter--, cd ice which was unsafe for foot travelling. At that point the fast­ disintegrating ice gave way under his weight and he was precipitated, into the icy waters of the lake. His brother, Norman Haltzman, - who was one of the group which ho- was seeking, was the first to see his perilous predicament, gave an alarm' and ran1’to his rescue. In the in­ terim he provided himself with a scantling which he picked up as he crossed a piece of land which he had to traverse in order to reach the imperilled man. The rest of the group also ’Wenty to the rescue, getting long boards 5 from a sign .board, on. the same plot of land. •* r *-“■' .> Norman, who firt got to the man in the water, also went through the ice just after’ he hac successfully tossed the timber uo his brother. Then there were two of them to fee- rescued which made matters serious for the small group of rescuers. There was open .water along the east shore except for one spot, which did not look good and safe. Those on the .shore were either non-swim- mers or women and children. Another brother of the imperilled men, Clarence Holtzman picked up a- plank from the shore and cautiously made his way across the bad ice to he of help to his. kinsmen in ex-1 tricating them from a watery grave.
