Is Drowned at Sugar
House.

Found Body of the Little
Girl.

Ella, the little daughter Of Paul \.
Lietz, a carpenter and cabinet maker
at Sugar House, was drowned in Par
leys creek at clock yesterday af
ternoon The little girl was found in
almost the exact position and met her
death In a manner very similar to that
In which her brother. the first child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lietz, was drowned
just twenty wears ago, The little boy,
when drowned was only two years
old.
The little girl had not been out of
her mothers sight fifteen minutes un'
til the body was found lying on a
rifle Just below where she probably
was drowned Her mother and father
carried her to the house and neigh.
bors helped them in an effort 10 bring
life back into the chilled body. They
tried every method known to them,
but when DR.. Charles w. Stewart ar
rived he said that the girl had been
dead when taken from the water. She
would have been nine years old In
August.
There are some old logs across the
creek, which flows back of the Lietz
home at POPS South Tenth East street,
and these make fall of about foot
below which is pool which in some
places is about five feet deep. Ella left
her shoes and stockings IN the mouse
and is thought to have been wading IN
the pool above the little dam She
must have fallen over. as there is
practically no strength to the current
there and not enough water TO drown
a child as large as she was unless she
had been strangled as soon as she fell
In.
The girl mother did not know that
she was wading in the creek and was
looking for her when Mr.. Lietz re-
turned from the home of neighbor.

were together when they found the
child who was lying on her arms as
