GOOD SWIMMER i LOSES LIFE IN ' ‘BOOHLEG' POOL ( Harold McCurnes’ Death in > Gravel Pit Is 12th Drowning of Year. Exhaustion from swimming too far and at too rapid a pace resulted In the twelfth swimming fatality of 1931 Wednesday when Harold McCurnes, 19, R. R. 3, Box 65, was drowned in a gravel pit on the High School road between the Rockville road and Tenth street. With a party of five, McCurnes went swlming in the “bootleg” pool. He and George Van Blaricum attempted to swim the breadth of the lake pit. Van Blaricum told police he was swimming behind McCurnes and as they neared the opposite bank, he heard his pal cry for help. McCurnes sank beneath the water before Van Blaricum could reach him. With the aid of Fred Sering, 28, of 723 Delawanda street, the body was recovered by Van Blaricum. Sering and Van Blaricum with companions attempted to resuscitate him without success. The drowning occurred in five feet of water. Van Blaricum said McCurnes was a good swimmer. It is believed that fatigue, abetted by cramps, caused his death. In the party with the youth were Fred Bolton, 19, Martin Haller, 13, and Georgia Haller, 10, half-brother and sister of the dead youth, and Heilah Miller, 11. The gravel pit, known as Westlake, is owned by Paul Voigt, R. R. 2, Box 562. Voigt told deputy sheriffs that he leased the pit to a sportsmen’s club and that signs to swimmers warning “no trespassing,” surrounded the pit. McCurnes lived with his grandmother, Mrs., Georgia Johnson. His parents are dead. INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION DIRECTORS WILL MEET Board Hopes to Obtain Speakers of National Prominence.
