SEASON'S FIRST SWIMMER.
Policeman Chides Clyde Cobeck for
Plunging Into the Blue.
The first man to swim in the Blue river this spring is Clyde Cobeck, of 1037 Topping avenue. Patrolman Carl Johnson of No. 7 police station called him ashore at Fifteenth street because Cobeck was clad only in a union suit. The swimmer was about ready to come in anyhow, and remarked as he stepped ashore:
"It's the early diver who gets the cramps."
He was not arrested, but allowed to put on his garments and beat it to the nearest fire.
