John n. Luft Falls Victim to the Waters.
No One Near Could Swim.
John H. Luft, the 15-year-old son of
Henry Luft, the grocer OF S5 South
street, was drowned in the river yester-
day morning about 10 O'Clock. while in
swimming with a number of compan-
ions. Unknown to his parents, young
Luft WENT the over to swim at a
mpint JUS Ross street. and after
DA in the water for some
time he waded farther out in the stream
and suddenly sank from sight. The
boys that could swim who had been
with him previous to this time had left
oply a few minutes before. and there
was no one present who could swim.
A little colored boy, Willie Mitchell,
tried to save Luft and was nearly
drowned himself in the attempt.
Harry Moore and Nicholas Miller, jr.,
were fishing. and hearing the boys
cries for help, rowed with all possible
speed to the spot and saw the boy sink
the lzst time when they were not more
than twenty feet from him. At the
place where the accident occurred the
water is about twelve feet deep and Is
made quite muddy from the sewer.
Just above the place IS known to the
boys as the 'step off," the bottom
shelving away quite gradually until
this place is reached. when it sheers off
quite suddenly.
After the accident persons began div
ing for the body, which was brought
up by Charles Lynch. Of 81 Park ave-
nue., and taken home. Every effort at
resuscitation was made, but in vain.
This Is the second son Mr. and Mrs.
Luft have lost within six months. DR..
Barney rays the boy was evidently
taken with cramps. No inquest was
considered necessary by the coroner
