Winston-Salem, July 23—A young man whose name could not be learned proved himself a hero at Crystal Lake last evening when he jumped, fully clothed, into the swimming pool and rescued from drowning Mrs. J. T. Morgan, of this city. Mrs. Morgan had gotten into deep water and not being an experienced swimmer, she became exhausted and the incident would probably have proven serious had not she been rescued by this young man.
Mr. Morgan was with his wife at the time, or close by, and when he noticed her predicament, he went to her rescue. Mrs. Morgan, however, in a semi-conscious condition, grabbed him with such a tight hold that he could not make the rescue. The young man, standing on the bank, took in the situation at a glance and jumped into the water without shedding any of his garments.
