HERBERT LIVINGSTON LOSES LIFE WHILE TRYING TO SAVE A COMPANION. Campville, June12, - The sad accident by which Herbert LIVINGSTON, aged 18 years, lost his life Thursday evening while attempting to save that of his cousin, Grover LIVINGSTON, casts a gloom over this community. The four boys, Herbert, Robert and Grover LIVINGSTON and Archie TILBURY were preparing to go in swimming in the Susquehanna river at Campville when Grover, the youngest, undressed, and not knowing the condition of the river bottom and being unable to swim, he ran into a deep hole and was strangulating. Archie TILBURY saw his danger and being acquainted with the river went to his rescue and soon caught hold of the little fellow. Herbert, fearing the that Archie could not do the work of rescue alone, ran to his assistance, and as he unaware of the hole ran into the water and beyond his depth. He too grasped Archie, and made the problem a difficult one. Archie succeeded in releasing himself from the grasp of Herbert, who swam away, but instead of heading toward the shore, he struck out toward the middle of the river and was drowned. Archie had a hard struggle to get Grover to the shore and Robert who was wading near the shore, was sent for help. Archie rolled Grover as soon as he had him on shore to get the water out of his stomach and lungs. It was a long time, even after assistance had arrived, before Grover was conscious, after as near an approach to death as he will ever face before the final end of life. The river was quite high at the time of the search for the body of Herbert LIVINGSTON was unsuccessful until about 7:30 Friday morning, when J. L. PURPLE of Owego discovered it. The funeral is fixed for Sunday at this place. It is feared that this death may result in the death of the boy's father, as the latter has heart disease. BERKSHIRE.
