HUNTERS DEATH
 THAT OF A HERO
Y0nng Man Plunges Into Water, Fully Clothed, in Attempt to Rescue Chad ick-Bodies Quickly Recovered,
 But Life Extinct.
Wylie Chadick and Avery Hunter,

Wylle CnaQlck ana Avery Hunter, we'll known and popular white youths, were drowned about 2 o'clock yester- day afternoon in Taylor's lake, a private lake on the Creed Taylor place, just east of the city, on the Tamo pike.
 Chadick was dead when he was taken from the water. There were virtually no signs of life in Hunters body when it was removed from the lake, but half a dozen physicians worked until about o'clock in the vain effort to resuscitate him.
 News of the affair quickly spread over the city, when telephone mes- sages were received at the office of almost every physician in the city, that the two boys had been drowned. Quite a number of automobiles rushed to the scene, and the physicians generally answered the call, but were able to do no good.
 Were Attending Picnic.
 The youths were members of pie nic party, of members of the Sunday school of the Ohio street Baptist church. There were 150 or more per- sons enjoying the picnic, and the day had been one of unalloyed pleasure, uIlIll LIlc lcoClNlLlCS WC1C DI OuSilC to a sudden and terrible close by the tragedy.
 Members of the picnic party stated last evening that Chadick had gone short distance from the center of the picnic grounds, to go in swimming. He appeared suddenly to be in diffi- culty, and sank beneath the surface of the water. Hunter ran forward and when Chadick failed to rise to the surface again, Hunter quickly re- moved his shoes and jumped into the lake, in an effort to rescue Chadick.
 Hunter, it is said, was good swim mer, and several of his friends said last night they can not understand how he lost his life. When he started on his self-imposed rescue duty, others nearby gave the alarm and soon there were present nearly all the members of the picnic party. The men rushed forward and pulled both lads out of the water, while others summoned physicians. Chadick was dead, and Hunter was unconscious, although it is said that at no time did he appear to have been under water more than a period considered safe for an ordi- nary swimmer.
 Until about ay ear ago, Hunter had been in bad health, and inasmuch as no water was found in his lungs, by the physicians who examined the body after death, the opinion has been formed that heart failure was the cause of his death, being superinduced by the excitement and doubtless by his exertions in the effort to rescue Chadick.
 Both Popular Lads.
 The double tragedy spread pail of sorrow and regret over the entire city, even among people who did not know the boys or their families. A number of the women and children in the pie mic party were affected so seriously as to need attention and assistance in re- turning to their homes.
