minutes caused tha lad's death.
Louis and other boys who attend the
Catholic school at Milwaukie purchased
balloons at a Milwaukie. drug store dur
ing the noon hour, it la said. Louis Is
said to have-placed one balloon In his
mouth and to have attempted to blow up
another one.
Boys playing with Louis cannot ex
plain how he swallowed the balloon. It
is thought the escaping gas or air from
one may have forced the other down
Louis' throat- Louis and the other boys
tried to pull the balloon out with their
fingers, but were unsuccessful. In a
few moments the boy' fainted and a lad
named Witte called Father Bernard and
the sisters st the parish school, but they
could not pull out the balloon. A'U doc
