SWOONS AS HER SON DROWNS Boy Falls In Lake While Watching Search For Body. Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 3.—Within a quarter of an hour apart two Chicago boys met death by drowning in Cedar lake. William Littlejohn came to the lake tor a Baptist church picnic and fell from a boat which was tipped over by the waves from a steamboat. Mrs. May Delue and her nine-year-old son Max were standing on the Cedar Point pier watching the sheriff drag the water for Littlejohn’s body when the boy fell from the pier into fifteen feet of water and was drowned almost within reach of the frantic mother. She could have saved him had she not swooned and fallen upon the pier in a faint. Both bodies were recovered.
