DIED A HERO'S DEATH
DENNIS sEWEI.. BOOM HAND. is
DROWNED WHILE TRYING TO
SAVE BOYS LIFE
WENT TO THE LADS RESCUE
Boy Gripped Him So Tightly That
Both Went DOwn--Sewel Had
Saved Dozen Lives
before.

Dennis Sewel. a boom hand in Mime
apohs, sacrificed his life about noon yes
terday in an unsuccessful attempt to
save the life of Emil Irmen, a lad four
teen years of age who fell into the river
at what is known as the gap while
fshing near Eighteenth avenue north
east.
The accident occurred within sight of
twenty men working on the river booms
at that point, and Sewel in trying to save
the boy was himself drowned in the at
tempt. SeWel saw the little fellow tum-
Die into the water and rushing to where
the lad went down, he dove into the river
and rose with him. The drowning boy
was grabbing for some object to save
himself As soon as Sewel reached him
the drowning boy wrapped his arms in
death grasp about the strong mans neck
and his rescuer could not break the hold.
sewers arms were pinioned to his side
ana the drowning boy was slowly strang-
ing his rescuer. Other men, terror
stricken, saw the man and the boy strug-
Cling in the water, but none could get
TO them without also endangering their
own lives.
Sewel was an expert swimmer, but he
was helpless with the load that weighed
him down, and the loss of the use of his
arms, which the boy clutched conclusive
~ He rose and sank three times, and
then went down to a hero'S DEATH
Emil, the drowned boy, together with
smaller brother, Louis, left their home
at 16Ol Marshall street northeast about
IL O'Clock to go fishing. They crossed
the walk that leads from the east shore
of the river to the boom. Emil was lead
ing, and was carrying a soap box for a
seat His little brother was closely follow
ing him. when Emil suddenly struck the
soap box against a high pier that sup
ports the walk, knocking the boy back
wards into the water. His cries brought
SeWel to his rescue
Under the direction of the boom fore
man, Nose Green, with the aid of the
North side police with graphing irons
the spot where the two went down was
dragged for two hours, and at last the
waters gave up the dead. The heart
broken mother of the drowned boy was
notified of the drowning, and until the
body was recovered remained on the
bank, crying piteously.
Denny Sewel, as he was called by
his fellow Workmen and intimate friends
during his fifteen years as river hand
has saved upward of dozen people from
watery graves. Had he succeeded in his
attempt yesterday it would have been
the third life this summer. His bravery
and spontaneous action yesterday cost
him his life, and left a wife widow
and three little boys one five and one
four years and one eight months old, or
phans.
Mr.. Sewel has been employed by the
boom company for the past fifteen years
and was known as a sober, industrious
workman. Neighbors say he was bound
up in his home and little family, and he
leaves them in hard circumstances.
The spot where Emil Irmen and Sewel
were drowned has long been known as a
treacherous hole in the river Upward of
a dozen lives have been lost in the last
decade at this point
