One of those events which carry heart
rending agony to the homes of bereaved
parents occurred here little after o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The event referred
to is the drowning of the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Goodrich, bright lad of
about nine years. The little fellow, it ap-
pears, was with some other boys in
batteau moored at the foot of Myrtle
street. Desiring to go ashore he stepped
on the edge of the boat, which suddenly
careened, precipitating him headlong into
the lake. AS soon as the accident became
known number of men with pike poles
commenced dragging for the body. An
hour was consumed before their efforts
were crowned with success. Immediately
the remains were brought ashore efforts
we're made at resuscitation, which, as was
expected, proved unavailing. This sad
| blow falls with double force by reason of the
afflicted parents sustaining the loss of an
other son a few years ago with but the
warning of day or two.
