Two CHILDREN FnozYs TO DEATH II An OPES
Boar on LAKE WISSEBAsO.-A most lamentable oc-
cuuence transpired here last Thursday evening. Two
children Of Martin ksloI, living in the Fourth Ward
near the lake shore, persisted from exposure to the
weather in a small boat on Lake WIDnebsgo. The
circumstances, as are informed, are as follows:
The children-one girl Of thirteen, and the other
boy Of ten yeers-appEed late in the afternoon OF
Thursday last to Mr. f. Evans for the loan of his boat
for the purpose of fishing in the bay short distance
from Mr.. Evsnss house. Upon being refused they
procured d small scow boat that was lying on the
beach near by, III which they paddied on, mo the
bay. There was strong breeze blowing at the time
which soon Increased to gale aud blew the sco* lar
out into the lake. Mr.. Evans says that when his At
teution was first called TO the dangerous position OF
the children they had drifted mile or more nom the
shore and before he could provide any means to rescue
them, the boat had disappeared from sight The
wind blew furiously and the night was biuer cold
Evans's bay is mile and halt from the inhabited
portion Of the city, and nothing OF this dreadful an air
va knawn 10 our citizens until noon the day,
when measures were promptly taken 10 recover the
children if possible. A large ssi-ooat was manned
and started of. II returned on sunday without any
tiGiDgs of the boat or children. Inc genera opinion
WIS that the boat had swamped, and that the children
were drow ned. The searcl was, however continued,
and on Sunday afternoon the boat was discovered on
the Calumet shore OF the lake, nearly opposite this
place Ii was half filled with water, ard IN 1t we're
The dead bodies OF the children. They had frozen
10 death The boy had taken of his coat and given it
70 his sister to shield her from the cold for the gar
meDt was found upon her pous' LUIS ene'upe inch'
dent alone reveals without further detail the horrible
situation of the poor children before death put an end
10 their -uferings. The bodie. were brought over TO
this city and buried Monday. Ii Is stated that at
the time the dted out OF the bay II was seer by
several persons who watched II until 1t disappeared;
and who either from stupidity or Indifference, neglect
ed to give the alarm, or 10 take any steps toward res
cuipg the children until 1t was too late We have not
been able 10 ascertain positively whether this sate
uert is true or not and therefore refrain from
giving publicity to any of the rumors which have been
Current in regard to this part Of the occurrence.
