OVERHEATED; SWIM IS FATAL.
Alice Dalton, 22 Years Old, Dies in
Fairmount Park Lake.
While taking a dip in the lake at Fairmount Park "to see if it would cure her headache," Alice Dalton, a laundry girl, of Dickson Park, died suddenly of heart disease at 9:45 o'clock last night. the reaction by contact with the cold water is assigned to have brought on the attack.
Miss Dalton was 22 years old. She had been sick for over a week. Yesterday evening she took the trip to Fairmount Park to see if a swim in the lake would cause her head to stop aching. She had no sooner waded out to her depth when those standing on the banks heard her screams and saw her sink, much as a person does in drowning. Several men sprang into the water and brought the girl to the shore, only to find that she had been dead several seconds.
