harrow wooden walk over Is feet Of

IN the Merrimac river Monday gave
way under the stamping feet OF a
crowd u impatient boys ana at least
IL of the little fellows were drowned.
There may be more bodies in the

The boys, ranging from 9 to Is
years, were waiting for William b.

open. No one knew Monday night
how many there were in the party,
but 1t is thought so is a conservative
estimate. The boys were jumping up
and down as they shouted 10 Blythe
TO open up when the supports sank
and the walk extension dropped like
q trap door, rolling the lads into the
river
There IS a swift current at this
point drawn by the falls a quarter
OF a mile below, and the youngsters
we're caught in this. Many Of them
could not swim. Witnesses on the
river bank say that all disappeared
In a fash. but a moment later there
was a struggling mass on the sur
face. The stronger ones, who could
swim, struck out bravely for the boat
house and score saved themselves.
Their cries brought aid and several
others were pulled ashore. Five I'M
conscious forms were brought from
the water, and two OF these were final
ly resuscitated.
Efforts TO restore the others were
futile.
