Two Men Drowned In Bonner Lake.

TRUCKEE, October 2Ist.-Y esterday MORN
ing two men by the name of A. G. Philbreok
and J. Hanscom went out on Bonner Lake In
a sail boat, equipped for goose hunt. This
morning the Boat drifted ashore about half
filed with water and containing the dead
body of Philbrook. From appearances it
would seem as though the boat must have
been struck by a squall of wind and partially
cspsizsd, throwing the men and the guns out
of the boat into the water, and that Phil
brook managed to get back into the boat after
it righted, but was so exhausted from his eff
forts and so chilled with the cold that ne
could not keep himself out of the water
which was in the boat, and consequently
drowned sitter getting out of the lake The
body If Hanscon has not been recovered yet,
as the lake has been too rough TO make a
search.

perhaps the Land League had been guilty

The warrants ON which MIR. parael and

had not only an indisputable right. but
they were bound 40 a sacred duty, TO tell
Tho people, whose delegates they wero,
Just how much the concession wAs really
