Two Young wen Drowned.

On Sunday afternoon about three o'clock ,
Amandus and Wilson Heller aged respect
lively twenty and seventeen years Of age,
sons of Michael Heller Of Mifilin townships;
and John Harman aged seventeen, son OF
@. A. Harman, who lives on John VOLTS
farm, were In bathing In the Susquehanna
river near Mr.. Harman's. There Is a hole
between two rocks tina. has been washed
out by the current 10 high water, until II Is
about ten feet deep. Amandus Heller said
he was going to jump in there, and John
Harman cautioned him not to do so, but he
did 1t, either by accidentally slipping off
the rock, or Intentionally, believing that
the depth was less than II actually was. He
sank once and then called for help. None
Of the three could swim, but Wilson said
he could not see his brother drown, and
so plunged In after him, seizing him by the
head as he was sinking the second time.
Both went down together and were never
seen alive again. John Harman started TO
the fence to get rail, but there was no
use for it, as they did not appear. 1t is
supposed that Amardus caught hold Of
Wilson and held him under, though they
were nearly ten feet apart when found.
John gave the alal m and search party
was soon on he ground. The struggle Of
the boys had made the water In the pool
so muddy that the bodies could not be seen,
and hooks had to he resorted to. Michael
Hartzel found the body of Amandus first,
and an hour or more later Wilson was
found by John M. Mourey, who despite the
heavy rain, persistently continued the
search until his efforts were successful
The bodies we're removed to the home Of
the stricken parents, and were buried on
Wednesday morning, services being con-
Quoted at the house by Rev. Kohler. The
warmest sympathy of the community Is
with Mr.. and Mrs. Heller in this great
bereavement. 1t is only a few years ago
that they lost son and daughter, closely
together, by diphtheria, and now two more
are taken at the same time, leaving them
childless.
We are informed that two other persons
were drowned at the same spot in past
years, named Philip Greasy and Mr.. Barcat.
