The following from a late issue of a
Los Angeles paper will be of interest
to many North side people: THE in
quest over the remains of Logan Stair,
the 13 year old boy who was drowned
at GHbert's natatorium, ZAP South
Broadway yesterday was held this
morning, and it developed that there
was gross carelesSness at the natatOr-
fuTn. G. H. TruesdeII, the attendant,
was put on the stand and testified that
he took time to change his street clothes
for a bathing suit before going into the
water to search for the boy. It was be-
tween Is and 20 minutes from the time
the alarm was given until the body was
recovered and then it was necessary to
search for a physician who did not ar
rive until at least five minutes later.
Coroner Campbell questioned the Wit
/ ness rigidly and it was brought out
that there was no method of resuscita-
ton known at the natatOrium Trues-
dell testified that they watched the
boys" but was forced to admit that no
one was on guard yesterday. The jury
after due elaboration rendered a YER
dict finding that the deceased came to
his death by accidental drowning and
concluded with this Significant clause:
We, the jury suggest that proprietOrs
of natatoriums use greater precaution
that drowning children may be rescued
more quickly and means of restoration
be kept on hand The body of Logan
was embalmed and shipped to his form
er home in Akron, Ohio" Logan Stair
was a nephew and the adopted child
but formerly proprietor of the Metro
politan restaurant on this side The
news of the death of the little boy will
be a great shock to the many friends Of
the family who remember him as a
bright and promising child.
