care he could have seen Haines and
the accident never would have occur
red.
E. E. Pawling, a Selinsgrove lawyer,
has been employed by Mrs. Haines

her reliance on Kreeger's alleged
promise to do what was right. The
case is arousing a great deal of in
terest and will be tried at the Septem
ber term of court.

Drowning of Bixler Boy Brings
Facts to Light; Gas Co.
Sends Machine
The death by drowning of Lerew
Bixler yesterday afternoon in the river
opposite McCormlck's Island, brought
to light the fact that under the sys
tem in ofrce at present at the Harris
burg police headquarters it is practi
cally impossible to send a pulmotor
outside the city limits to aid in resus
citating persons apparently drowned.
Soon after It was learned that Bix
ler had sunk in the river and while
rescuers were searching for the body,
a telephone call was sent in to police
headquarters here asking that a pul
motor be sent out, but the reply was
made that it was contrary to rules to
send the ambulance outside of the city
limits without orders from the chief of
police. About a quarter of an hour
later a second call came In with the
information that the body was stlfl in
the water but that a pulmotor was
needed for immediate use when the
body was found.
In the meantime, news of the acci
dent having reached George T. Eld
ridge, who is connected with the Har
risburg Gas Company and whose son
two years ago was drowned at Mc-
Call s Ferry, he at once placed the
company's pulmotor aboard an auto
and drove to the scene of the accident,
where searchers were still trying to
recover the body. As soon as the body
was brought to the shore the pulmotor
was applied, but resuscitation was im
possible. Other methods also were
used without avail.
\ oung Bixler at noon, after doing
several chores about the house in the
morning, said to his mother, "Now,
I'm going down for a swim in the
river."
"Oh, you'd better not go." Mrs. Bix
ler replied, you 11 drown one of these
days."
That's the last thing that could
happen to me." replied Lerew, who
was knowa as an experienced swim
mer.
His Tors Touch Boily
Carefully they looked along the
river bottom as they went up stream.
The current at this point is not swift
and it was believed that the body
might not have floated down stream
at all. This proved to be the case, for
when Prof. Ellenberger again treading
water, made his way up stream into
the deeper and cloudy water his toes
touched the sought-for object, and
the body was then taken ashore.
It is believed that the youth choked
to death when seized with cramps as
the effort at resuscitation failed to
disgorge any water at all. Bixler
ate a hearty dinner and it is believed
that on reaching deeper water he got
a mouthful, and that this upset his
stomach causing the cramps. The
body was taken to the home of Frank
Oenslager and afterward removed to
the home of his parents, D. W Bix
ler. at 5360 North Sixth street.
Burial will be made at Fisherville.
Services will be conducted Thursday
at the home In Riverside. The Rev.
Russel Dysart will officiate.
Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison this
morning emphatically denied that the
services of the city pulmotor was abso
lutely refused when Bixler was drown
ed near McCormick's Island. The
Colonel said:
"The first notice of a drowning
came from .vlrs. Frank; Oenslager,
Front and Vaughn streets, and was
a request to send men with the ambu
lance to help drag for the body. I
informed Mrs. Oenslager that we had
no grappling irons, or any person who
could be sent. I understood that the
body had then been in the water some
time.
"Before leaving the telephone line
Mrs. Oenslager was informed that as
soon as the body had been recovered
the pulmoter would he sent; or if there
was any likelihood tha.t the body
would be found very soon, the pulmo
ter cpild be had. Next came a call
frorn Dr. George Burton. The body
then was still in the water."
