Narrow escape.

--About 8 o'clock last Monday night, the cries for help of some one floundering in the water near 8th street bridge, attracted the attention of Watchman Davis and partner, both of whom hastened to the scene just in time to save the life of an unfortunate white man, who had overloaded his hat with bricks and pitched headlong into the "raging canal." With no little difficulty, they rescued the inebriate, who must have found a watery grave but for their timely aid. Tipsy men had better give the basin a wide berth in the future.
