ANOTHER SINKS THIRD TINE
Brother Benedict Goes to Res

Saves Him.

Darwood Mead. II years old, 1905
r. St Vincent St, was drowned Sat
urday afternoon at o'clock in St.
Mary's lake, Notre Dame. Jack Ley,
his chum. was sinking for the third
time when Brother Benedict, hear
ing the cries of the boys, plunged in
TO the water with his clothes on. and
brought the Ley lad back to shore.
Four boys were playing on a light
raft close 10 the shore. One sug-
gested that they get some sticks and
paddle across the lake. About 80
feet from shore. they changed posi-
tons, and the raft, too frail TO bear
the combined weights of the boys
when they gathered near one cor
ner. began 10 submerge. Panic
stricken, two OF them jumped into
the water and swan ashore. Mead
and Ley weighted down by their
struggled as best they could.
When Brother Benedict reached Ley,
the nearest one, the boy tried 10
fight the brother off, but the brother
turned the lad on his back. then
turned over himself and swan on
his back TO shore.
Hear Calls for Help.
The bells at Notre Dame had just
rung announcing time for the ball
game, and most Of the students were
on their way toward Cartier field.
A few belated ones heard the calls
for help, and rushed 10 the assist
ance of the lads. In two minutes 10
Notre Dame men were diving in the
chilly waters for the Mead boy. The
two boys who swan ashore pointed
out the spot where their cOmpan-
ion went down, and for almost half
an hour the swimmers kept on with
their work, until cramps and chills
sent most of them ashore. Everett
A. Blackman, an architectural stu
dent. was the last man out. His
lips were a blush hue. and his en-
ergy was spent as he crawled ashore.
In the meantime. the police were
notified. Officers DeNos, Olmstead

with the lungmotor. only TO find that
the Mead boy was still at the bottom
Of the lake The dragging appara-
tus was left, and officer DeVos and
