DRowNED.-On Thursday evening,
June q, while bathing, Geo. Boyer, a
young man not yet 81 years of age,
was drowned in Twin Lake, in Frank
lin township. This young man was
working with JOSEPH, George and John
Biltz, all of Rootstown, at stone mason
ry, in the vicinity of the aforesaid lake.
In the evening, after their days work
they concluded to bathe in the lake,
and Boyer, in diving, got beyond his
depth and failed to rise again. The
other men soon saw that he was in
danger and endeavored to rescue him
George swan to where he supposed the
drowning man might be, when he was
suddenly clutched and pulled under
At that the OF her two rushed in and all
caught hold of each other, and after
struggling for several minutes, Mr.. nj.
Biltz, father of the other Biltzes,
reached in with rail and the foremost
of the ones in the water caught hold
of it and the three were drawn to the
low water, while the drowned man,
who had been under water during all
this time, broke his hold and remained
under. Very soon thereafter some
young men,, whose names have since
escaped our memory, dived after him
and brought him to land. Every effort
was made to restore life, but in vain.
Life was extinct.
Young Boyer was a native of Ger
many and had been in this country
but few months. He was intelligent,
of good habits, and possessed many
good qualities, as the friendship Of
those who enjoyed his short acquaint-
ance in this country will testify, and
while he was comparatively stranger
in a strange land. he went not unwept
to his grave in this his new habitation
so far from his native home and friends
His body was deposited in the Catho-
Cemetery in Rootstown, ON Saturday
last, Rev. Kirch officiating.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT. = Wednesday
evening, June 2Sth, Harry Powers,
aged II, son Of DR.. A. NJ. Powers, of
Rootstown, in preparing to go out
hunting, put a shell into his gun, "a
breech-loader) and snapped it, but the
shell not discharging, he withdrew it
and holding it in his left hand, com.
lnenced to pick at the cap to remove it,
when the shell exploded, tearing the
lower part of the palm of the left hand
in frightful manner, laying bare the
tendons and ssvering a branch of the
ulner artery, causing profuse flow of
blood. Fortunately his father, who is
a physician, was at hand and tied up
the artery, but for which the young
man would have soon bled to death.
The thumb Of his right hand was hor-
ribly mangled, the nail being torn off
and the member split, and some frag-
ments of the shell were lodged in the
index finger Of the right hand. The
shock to the young mans nervous
system was terrible, completely pros
trating him. Young men (and old
Snes, too) cannot be too careful in the
handling of firearms or the ammuni-
tlon for the same. The young man is
said to be getting along finely.
