panion, Joseph Erdos. about 12:30 this
afternoon.
While swimming is considerable dis-
lrancc from shore, young Sabaleik
turned about to come back again to
the land. when he suddenly threw up
both hands and shouted for help. Jos-
eph Erdos was nearer the bank of the
pond than he was to his drowning
companion, so he swam hurriedly ,to
shore, and. seizing a plank, swam with
all possible speed to assist young
Sabslcik. Just a moment before he
reached him Sabaleik sank below the
i-gni'gl'.
Several people rushedto the scene
and charts were made to recover tbs
body at the dead youth. which was

uel H. Huntington was summoned, and
he pronounced death due to accidental
