    TWO KITCHENER LADS DROWNED IN BRESLAU DAM

    Punt Upsets and Layerne Snyder of Detroit and Franklyn Bossenbury of Kitchener Lose Their Lives-Attempt at Rescue Proves Futile-Used Lungmotor.

    Two Kitchener lads, Laverne Snider, aged 10 years, son of Mr. and Mrs Ivan Snider of Detroit and Franklyn Bossenberry, aged about 12 years, son of Mr and Mrs Frank Bossenberry of 20 Mitchell Ave, Kitchener, met a tragic death when they were drowned at the Breslau dam on Monday afternoon. Their punt upset and efforts to effect their rescue proved fruitless. Another boy. Howard Weber of 153 Queen St., South, son of Mr and Mrs J. Weber, who accompanied the other boys was not in the boat at the time.

    The boys left Kitchener shortly after two o'clock on a fishing expedition. The three boys after their arrival at the dam found a punt in a clump of willows near the flood gates and young Weber after going for a short trip about the pond returned and Snider and Bossenberry got into the boat. They had left their bait near the bridge and stated they were going to get it. Shortly after young Weber, who was cutting a pole in the willows heard Mervin Cressman, aged 8, calling to him that the punt had capsized and he immediately notified the man at the garage nearby. Knowing the lads could not swim, Jacob Rudy, and E S. Eby of the garage responded quickly and waded into the water in an effort to rescue them They got about 40 feet from shore but found it impossible to go further on account of the mud. In the meantime Oscar Williams of Kitchener came along over the bridge in his motor car, and being informed of the accident, he immediately removed his clothes and jumped in to the rescue. In a short time he recovered the body of Bossenberry, which was taken to the garage. He then went in search of Snider's body. Bossenberry appeared to be alive, according to Eby, when he was carried into the garage. Dr. L. R. Shields and Dr. Hagmeier, together with Fire Chief Guerin, arrived on the scene about ten minutes after the body was rescued. The lung motor was used for about half an hour, but life was extinct.

    The body of Snider was found in about an hour, after about two feet of water had been let out of the dam, George Reinhart of Breslau, rescuing the body near the spot where Mr. Williams found the body of Bossenberry.

    After the arrival of Coroner Lackner a jury was empannelled, who viewed the remains, after which they were removed to Schreiter's under taking parlors.

    The young Snider lad was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Snider. The lad Bossenberry leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bossenberry, six brothers and three sisters, viz, Charles, Clayton, Emerson, Claude, Bert, Glenn, Mrs. Ivan Sat der, Mrs. C. R. Keyes, Toronto, and Zelda at home.

    The deepest sympathy of the community will go out to the families the who have been so suddenly and tragically bereaved.
