Men Die While Lad They Thought Dying Runs Away. Article Text: New York, June 25.--The shouts and splashings of eight-year-old Edward ANDERSON were mistaken for the cries of a drowning lad and two workmen of Elizabeth N.J.--Paul SAPS and Michael SOWENK--plunged into a pond on Staten Island to rescue him. The boy, thought the men were going to arrest him, and swam to the bank. When he looked back at the water there was no one in sight. Two policemen later recovered the bodies of SAPS and SOWENK from the bottom of the pond. It is believed that cramps seized them. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
