Again the GLOBE is called upon to record
Lake horror. Yesterday morning a mer
ry party consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Gibson and two children, both boys, aged
respectively and II years; Mr.. and Mrs.
James Dore and an infant child; Miss Ellen
Dore, sister of James Dore; Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Cline and daughter Katie; William
Cline, G. j. Smith; Michael Curran and
his sister Annie Curran, left st. Paul by the
9:25 A. M. train, for White Bear Lake, to join
in the festivities of the day. Arriving there
the entire party, fifteen in number, engaged
the sail boat Nora belonging to the fleet of
boats connected with the South Shore House.,
kept by W. 81. Greenman. At the time of
engaging the boat, Mr.. Perry Orcutt, who is
one of the sailors connected with the house,
told them that it would be better to have
an experienced man 60 along
with them to manage the boat. To this
the party demurred, saying that the Cline
brothers we're fully competent to manage it,
as they had sailed boat before. Satisfied
the merry party started out between 12 and
1 o'clock. For an hour and half they
sailed here and there over the beautiful lake.
There was only gentle breeze blowing, and
the surface of the lake was almost without
a ripple. Every sail boat and rev boat was
in use, sailing in every direction. Just as
the iparty were about making for the land
ing, and at point about equi-distant be-
tween the south point of the island and the
west point of the main land and on line
directly in front of the Leip house, sudden
Iy, in the twinkling of an eye, the boat
veered and capsized. Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson
and their two children sank at once, as did
Mrs. James Dore and Miss Nellie Dore and
Katie Cline. Michael Currau managed to
support his sister and Mrs. Cline until they
reached the mast of the boat, which in few
moments sank below the water
and again they were in danger
of drowning. At this time Mr.. G. j. Smith
came to the aid of Curran, and the two
women were supported to the hull of the
boat, from which they were rescued by two
young men who we're out rowing, and seeing
the accident, made all haste to their rescue.
One of these young men is named Frank
Luley, residing at No. 118 East Sixth street,
near Jackson. The GLOBE regrets that it
was unable to learn the name of the other
Ix,kl kol, l. e.
out, and give to both the need of praise
which is their due for the gallant act they
performed. They succeeded In picking up
Mrs. Cline, Annie Curran, Michael Curran
and the infant child of Mr.. and Mrs. Dore,
which they found floating on the water.
At first they supposed that the child was
dead. With all haste they made for the
shore with their overloaded boat, and placed
the infant in charge of Mrs. DR.. @. E. Ma
graw, wife of DIR. Magram, dentist, No. 70
Jackson street, who has a cottage on
the lake shore near the South Shore
house. Mrs. Magraw at once used
all means to resuscitate the child,
and finally succeeded, and when the GLOBE
reporter saw it last evening, it was as good
as new and bids fair to live to old age. 1t
may be said that the child owes its life to the
unremitting and judicious efforts of Mrs.
Magraw.
In the meantime sail boat managed by
some parties whose names could not be
learned last evening, had born down upon
the scene of the accident and rescued the
two Cline brethers, Mr.. Dore and Mr.Smith.
The capsized boat was taken in tow and
brought to the landing which it had left SO
short time before with its living freight.
Shortly after the accident Mr.. Granville
Fales, who is an accomplished sailor and
owns yacht, passed by the scene and sue
ceeded in finding the body of Miss Ellen
Dore, which was floating near the surface oi
the lake. He made all haste to the shore
and every means was used to survive hel
but in vain. Life was extinct and her re.
mains were brought to the city last evening
by undertaken ]. G. Donnelly. Miss Dore
was about 81 years of age and is described
as an amiable young lady full oi
life and spirit. She was among
the merriest of the throng who left st. Pau
yesterday morning, and little thought thai
she would make the return trip home in hel
coffin. The other bodies had not been found
up to 10 O'Clock last evening, and in al
probability will not be found for several days
if at all. The water where they sunk is from
sixty to seventy feet deep, and it will b,
difficult to drag for them.
The news of the terrible disaster soon be
