"SUDDEN DEATH
At about half past three o'clock yesterday afternoon, Barger Dickson, aged sixteen years, residing at 433 Maria street, while bathing in shallow water at the Natatorium, with several companions, fell in a spasm. The other lads called for help, and S. Clayton Dinsmore, of the Natatorium, promptly pulled the boy out of the water. He showed no signs of life. Drs. Meigs, Morton and Fox were sent for, and for half an hour they strove, without success, to revive the boy. They decided that death was due to the spasm, which they thought was caused by apoplexy. The body was removed to the residence of the boy's parents."
