DROWNS IN NIAGARA. Man All But Dies in Effort to Save Suicide Wife. Niagara Falls, N. Y., June 8.— Aaron Cohen, of Buffalo. N. Y., saw hie young wife leap into the swirling river between Second and Third Sisters islands today, only 150 feet above the brink of the cataract. With'iut a moment's hesitation, he followed her, caught her hand, and ■truggled desperately to eave her. Mrs. Cohen probably died in her hus band's arms. Before it was possible to bring effi cient help an hour had ¡-asm-«!. All thia time Cohen was making frantic at tempt» to reach the shore. Hut the *frugg!e against the current at thia point it is about 20 miles an hour was beyond bis power. Fortune aid«! him, however. With hie wife tightly clasped to him, he bumked into a tree stump, and on this h«> got a grip with his one free ha'-d. There he stayed and shouted for help. Finally word was carried to the res- rrvatmn police, and PolieeaMM! James Martin and three --ther u -n with ropes hurried to the scene. Three times they threw a rope E m - fore it fell within Cohen's grasp. Wh.-n he did catch it. he was too weak to tie it about his own or bis wife's waist. The two were 20 feet away from shore, and it was extremely difficult, owing to the precarious nature of th«- footing, to make a good cast. Pinned against the tree by th«- terrific rush of water, all the strength had g«>n<- out of Cohen, ami .he had been unable to lt««p his wife's face above water. Once Cohen had hol«l of the rope, the men ashore began to pull. Martin, who was in front, slipf>«l and fell into the stream, but quickly rrgain«-«l his footing. When within 15 feat of the shore, Cohen lost his grip on his wife’s body, and It was carried down stream and was lost to view. SAILED 44 HOURS hInner of Balloon Race Shows Great Endurance.
