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.
