Ralph Burd, twelve years of sge. son of Wil liam Burd, of ElyviHe, was drowned Wednesday morning, after his chum had thrice risked his life In efforts to rescue the lad. Never Io the history of Oregon City has anyone been drowned under more peculiar circumstances, and the- won der now Is that the boy's Vti tboi:'.; have been sacrificed. The hero com panion of the dead lad Is Kenneth Morrison, also of Elyvtlle, . Not nntll he had beouvijrewn under the water three times, and was completely ex hausted from his battle with the drowning lad did he relinquish bis efforts to save his friend, and It was only by the most desperate attempt that be reached shallow water. He was cairied to the shore by men who had witnessed the tragedy. Goes to Chum's AioV ' The Burd and Morrison boys, the latter also only twelve years of age, left their homes early Wednesday for a 4miT!jlr,.miitltor3 did not know where they were going, but. It Is said, they bad no idea the lads were going to the river.- After playing about In ' the water" on the West Side neir Twelfth street for somftftne, Ralph. who could not swim, drifted into deep water. He managed to keep on the surface for several minutes, but hid desperate strugeninRS' drove htm near, er the center of the river. The boy yelled or help and bis chum swam tO him. .' -v.-:---..: For time Kenneth seemed to bo winning the fight, but the other boy kept striking out wildly with hla arms and finally seized his friend about the neck. They anfc but Kenneth freed himself sni rss to- the surface. A second later Ralph, also came tip, and agsin Kenneth seized him. .. Thr was another struggle and once mors the boys sank. - They came to the surface again, Kenneth still holding firmly to the drowning boy, who clung des perately to the other's neck. Try aa h would thB heroio lad could not shako off his friend, or free himself so aa to use hi arms, and they went under for the third time.. The MorrL son boy freeing himself, with all the-' strength he could command struggled to the, shallow water, and Ralph did not corns to the surface sgaln. By this time J, O. Herford, of 414 Taylor afreet; Portland, who, wltn his wife and several friends, was passing in a motorboat realised the true situa tion and hastened to the place where, the body had sunk. They had thought nntll the Burd boy did not rise the last time that the lads had been playing. It would hare been an easy matter for them to bare made the rescue had they known the lad was drowning, Mr. Heryford, who frequently comes to this city in bis, motorboat. had often seen boys bath ing whore the accident occurred, and knowlnr how thev - nlav - and take chances In the water had no reason to think the Burd lad was drowning until It was too late to save him. It has been customary for lads from one side of the river to meet swimmers from the other side In midstream and wrestle In the water. In, their play tbey bare often called for aid to ex cite passers by In boats. The news of the accident aoon spread through . the city, and more than 100 persons hurried to tlw beach from which the boys had gone Info t the river.
