BRIDEGROOM IS VICTIM ROLAN HERMINGHOUS DROWNED IN OSWEGO LAKE BRIDE NEAR. Jumping From Boat to Swim to Shore in Race With Companion, Youth, Good Swimmer, Disappears. ORE60N CITT, Or.. July 9. (Spe cial.) Rolan Herminghous, a bride groom of two months, was drowned at 2:15 P. M. today while passing the day on Oswego Lake with his bride and a friend, Fred Gibson, aged 11 years. This is the fourth accidental drowning case in Clackamas County In the last week. Herminghous had left his wife on the shore and, with young Gibson, was rowing across the lake at the upper end, about three miles from the road. As they came within about 100 feet of the shore Herminghous offered to race Gibson to the shore, Gibson to stay in the boat and he to swim. Her minghous sprang into the water and sank at once. Young Gibson was too excited to give any assistance and H. C. Frisbie, who was in his boathouse, about 100 feet away, thought the swim mer was playing. The body was taken from the water by Arch Lewis and W. R. Metzgar in about 12 minutes. The bride did not see the tragedy, but was prostrated with grief. They were married In Portland early In May. The parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Wright live at 740 Kear ney street Portland, and the young couple resided at 714 Glisan street Herminghous had been employed by Allen & Lewis, of Portland, for the last three years as an accountant. He was 24 years old and is survived by one brother, who lives in St Louis. His parents are dead. Herminghous ate a large dinner shortly before his plunge from the boat and it is thought that cramps were due to this, as he was a good swimmer. SULZER MENACE TO T. R.
