Stacy, 12, and Clark, 10, sons of
Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Swanson, lived
a mile below Santa Clara on river
loop No. 2, five miles north of
Eugene, were drowned in a small
lake at 4:30 Christmas day.
These boys, in company with
their brother, Raymond, 9, and
Julius Van Daniskie, older than
any of the others, were skating
and Bledding on the lake when
Clark’s hat fell into the water where
the lake had not frozen over. In
attempting to reach it, he fell in
and a minute later Stacy, in
trying to rescue him, slipped off
the ice and disappeared beneath
the surface of the water.
Raymond Swanson ran to the
home of J. W. Richardson near by
for help. Mr. Richardson and an-
other neighbor put out in a boat
and recovered the bodies by means
of hooks a few minutes after the
boys fell in, but all efforts at re-
suscitation failed.
A Eugene physician was sent for
and he rushed out with a pulmotor,
but could do nothing to restore
respiration.
