Crowd at F«i Three People Retwueti From Drowning In Pl«tak«« Haj - Boat Race Sunday. Before the eyes of a crowd of sumn cottagers attracted to the beacb by his cries of distrees, but who feared to go to his aid, Joseph Gardner, a Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad firemi drowned in Fox lake Tuesday of last Week. Gardner had gone into the water shortly after asting a hearty lnncbeon He 'Km an^ldpert swimmer and be swam about for some tame. Finally when only a hundred feet from shore he was stricken with a cramp. As he Rank he shouted for help and his cries echoed along the beach, bring­ ing ont dozens of tbe inhabitants of tbe cottages near tbe water's edge. Two large row boats lay on the beach near the panic stricken crowd, but no one made a move to push off to the aid of the drowning man. When he came up after sinking the first time, he again shouted for aid, but the persons on the beach remained im passive and helpless in the panic that had seized them. A second time Gardner's head rose above the water, and a second time he cried for help, but still no move was made for the boats, which the drowning man could see as well as those he was begging for aid. He made a terrific struggle to get in to shallow water, but the effort was of no avail and a third time he sank be fore the onlookers conld recover from their stnpor and send for help they themselves refused to give. Twenty minntes after Gardner sank for the last time Daniel McMann of Fox Lake reached the beacb and, jumping into one of the boats, rowed to the spot where Gardner last had been seen. After some search he discovered tbe hody and drew it aboard with a boat hook. A physician was hastily summoned and worked over the corpse for two hours, but to no purpose. The men, women and children who were witnesses of the tragedy said that none in the party oouid swim and that was tbe reason no one went to the res­ cue of the drowning man. "I could not swim," said one man, whose name could not be learned, but wbo was one of the first on the beacb in response to the cries of Gardner, "and I was afraid to trust myself out in tbe boat." None of those present would give their names. Gardner and bis sister bad taken a cottage for the summer. His sister was away at tbe time of the tragedy, but was found before the physicians had given up hope of resuscitating tbe un­ fortunate swimmer. NARROW KSCAl'K FROM DROWNING. Three persons in a launch, two of them girls, grazed death in Pistakee lake Tuesday of last week by a close margin when Edward Bankes, a prom­ inent merchant of 1036 Hoyne avenue, Chicago, his twelve-year-old daughter, Mildred Bankes, and her sixteen-ytar- old guest, Miss Euola Spiehr, were saved from drowning by Benjamin Egland, W. S. Arnold and Peter Paul­ son of Chicago. Tbe Bankes family bas a summer home at Pistakee Lake. A favorite pastime of Mr. Bankes is to spend the summer mornings traversing the lake in bis launch, while his daughter and her young friends vary their morning dips by trolling behind tbe launch hanging to a stout rope, fearlessly brav­ ing tbe deepest waters of Pistakee. Tuesday Mr. Bankes was out in the launch and his daughter, Mildred, and Miss Spiehr were trailing along in bis wake clinging tightly to tbe line. They were in the very deepest part of the lake when Bankes heard a scream and, looking backwards, saw that Miss Spiehr, who cannot swim a stroke, had not only lost her hold on tbe rope, but had suuk totally out of sight. Without waiting to pnll off his coat Bankes jumped overboard, nearly overturning tbe launch. By this time bis daughter was aware of Miss Spiehr's misfortune, and herself an excellent swimmer, had plunged down after her friend. Together they pulled Miss Spiehr, now hysterical and a dead weight, to the snrface, and Bankes shouted to bis laughter to get herself ashore. Altho half faiuting, Miss Spiehr clung convul­ sively to ber rescuers, clutching Mr. Bankes tightly around the waist, pin­ ioning bis arms helplessly to his body. Down they both went again despite Mr. Bankes' struggles. Miss Mildred barely escaped a submerging along with them and as it was she dragged back till she could scarcely keep her head above the wster. Twice Mr. Bankes and Miss Spiehr roee to the crest of the water, with Miss Mildred shouting all the while for help. As they were about to sink for the third time and relief appeared beyond hope, three men in a row boat put out from tbe shore and landing Mr. Bankes and th«i unconscious Miss Spiehr first, then picked up the almost exhausted Miss Bankes and brought the trio safely in. Both girls are well recovered from the shock and fright, but Mr. Bankee bas pqt a ban on all future trolling, unless all U»ud» kuow bow to swim. r HUNTER BOYS WIN RACE. The closest race yet pulled off oyer the Fox river course by the McHenry Power Boat club materialized last Sun­ day afternoon, when the "Ed," owned and driven by two sons of Commodore Everett. Hunter, and the "Comet," owned and driven by Geo. Kramer, ran a tie race. The time for the finish of the race was set at 2:68:03 by tbe judges, tbe two above m at 2:58:30. When it was found that two boats were tied for first honors it was at once decided by the judges to have the two crafts make one run around the course, after which tha winner would be de­ clared, conditions being that the boat coming closest to equaling its time in the race should be declared the winner "Ed" finished within fifty one seconds of its racing time, while the "Comet" lost out by over a minute.
