V I IK MOTHER OVERCOME BY SONS DROWNING Had- Presentment That Some "thing Would Happen to Boys at Picnic YOUTH TRIES TO'SAVE THEM Mrs. Charles Klrschbaum is pros trated with Brief at her home, 172t West Venango street. Her only children the two boys she so reluctantly bade good -by and allowed to go on a neighborhood picnic yester day morning are lying in twin caskets in the little lining room. Besides the memory of thcir'happy laughter as they ran to join their comrades, she has a story of the older boy's heroism to think of. The five sorrowful play fellows who returned tell how Kills Klrschbaum, thirteen years old, gave his own life in an attempt to rescue his nitie-year-old brother Herman from drowning. Mother instinct made Mrs. Klrsch- v baum refuse at first to let the boys go on the picnic. She had a horror of holiday accidents, and a boys' outing without adults in the party did not ap peal to her. But the father, remember ing his own boyhood delights, added his persuasion to that of the children. Visiting Nephew The parents were visiting a nephew, Sidney I.uvln, who was run over by an .automobile last Friday, when the news came of the death of their own children. The story of the tragedy was told today by Lees Hyland, 3020 North Bouvicr v .street, who risked his life trying to save, his "pals." Lees is thirteen years old. Ho sat on the doorstep of his home today, his thick, fair hair touselcd and his blue eyes serious, as he talked. "Seven, of us went to Fairmount Iark," he said. "We were just plying games and racing till someone suggested that we go wading. It was near the falls of Wissahickon creek, but we did not think then about there being any undertow. Little Hcrmie was the first to get his- shoes and stockings off. Wc tohl him not to get on the big rock but he laughed andclimbod right on it. He slipped into the water so quick, wc hadn't our stockings off yet. Ellis knew ho couldn't swim and he went right after him. I jerked my clothes off and went after Ellis. I got him and wc dragged him back to the bank. Studied First Aid "It was queer, wasn't It?" The freckled face 6f the Hyland boy was sober as he continued. "Just the day before I had been reading up on how to give first aid to th"e drowning. You know we study first aid in sch'ool. So when wc got Kills out I did just what the teacher told me to. It worked and Ellis was sitting up, so I was going after Hermie. Wc had a stick and wc had hooked It to the boy's clothes and would have had him out. but Ellis saw him going under nnd dived in again. The stick broke and both the boys went under. The water was dec there by the rock. I can swim, but I was afraid of the undertow. It carried the boys down quickly." Dozens of neighbor lads nnd school mates from the Cleveland .school called at the Kirschbaum home today to cx- '.. Tirens tneir symnainy. jii un auu uown tV'.Jv' the street the Klrschbaum children were known and liked, and a solemnity reign' c ' d throughout the neighborhood today . Tho mother is so broken with grief that callers have been denied. Her sobs and cries could bo heard by passersby. Arrangements are being made for a quiet funeral from the home tomorrow afternoon.
