Louis. Deserano, 1 5, Claim-
w Victim by River at
West Salem Camp
boy Falls from swing
Lad Sinks In 25 Feet of Water
When He Loses Grip on
Handle; Family Ilero
Only Short Time ,
Falling . from a swing into 2
I leet , of water. in. the Willamette
; river, it the West Salem auto
camp, Louis Victor Deserano, 15,
. or Branch, Michigan, was drown
ed Wednesday afternoon at about
1 o'clock. The body was recoyer-
ed after a search of nearly three
; hours. . .
The boy was playing on a
swing which overhangs the water.
- and it is believed he lost his grip
i oh the bar and plunged; into the
stream. He was dressed in a pair
of trunks.' It is said he could not
swim. His parents have been in
Salem only a few weeks, and are
tourisU from the east. The boy's"
, lather and mother, two sisters.
. and two brothers survive.
It is said that this is the second
tragedy in the Deserano family In
a short time. It was stated that
recently three children of the fam
lly were burned to death when
their . home in Michigan caught
fire. The Deseranoa came to Sa
Jem with Intentions of making
tneir home here, and have been
in the valley only a short time.
The body was recovered by W.
B. Gerth.l of West Salem, and E.
M. Hammer, 1860 Marlon street.
Mr. Gerth, owner of a grocery
store on the west side of the
bridge, owns one of the two sets
of grappling Irons In the city. In
commenting on this fact, he
stated that the city should possess
such equipment, with someone in
vested with authority to use it..
"I have been called out In
every case of drowning in the
river," Mr. -Gerth declared, yet
I have no authority to remove a
body from the river. In case the
person had been Jn the water tor
only a short time, and there: was
a chance ; of resuscicating him, I
would shoulder the responsibility.
But when it Is evident that noth
ing can be done, coroners from
both counties have declared" that
I could not remove ..the bodies.
Someone should be empowered to
do this, and the city should pro
vide a set of grapple ra. -.Some
, lives that -otherwise would be lost,
may be saved if J.hls is done."
This is I the second drowning of
the season, another youngster
having lost his Hfe in . Mill creek
a short tlme.ago. 5 - ! " : i
