point that was open on Friday When about
midway, being about half mile from either
shore, they both went through the ice.
Young Sawyer, being a swimmer, got out
while Lawrence, who could not swim, ung
desperately to the edge of the ice. Fred
Mo rison and Edgar Neil, being on the west
shore. could see Young Lawrence struggling
and started with plank to his rescue, but
could not reach him on account Of thin ice.
Young Sawyer, being light, slid the plank to
him Two other boys, Eugene Thompson
md George Young, from the east shore,
hurried to the rescue. Young Lawrence had
been in the water L. minutes and could have
held out but few minutes more, as he
nearly paralyzed when hauled out on the ice.
Quite portion Of our population have
left town since the wooden mill burned,
leaving several vacant houses. 1t is hoped
this fine Eatpr power will soon be used again.

Ofall the Valentine "gags" that
have been perpetrated this week,
doubtless the worst one il that worked
by certain fun-lOving youths who
bought some frightful daub and sent
| it to their best girl enclosing with it
letter accusing her of having sent it
to them and declaring that she is "no
lady" etc., etc. We have noticed a
suspiciously large number of red eyes
on the streets since Tuesday, and we
doubt not they could be traced to that
cause. Poor girls! They aren't allow
ed to be altogether happy, even during
leap year!
Valentines Day brought forth at
least one tragedy that has been made
part Of the public records. On We'd

Q young lady living . few miles from
town. While he was talking to her q
woman living in the house Slip
ped up behind him and hit him over
the head with q boot jack, remarking
that che would ''teach him how to send
her insulting valentines!" The young
man evidently concluded to recipro-
cate by teaching he. the true use Of a
boot Jack, 50 had her arrested aud
brought before Justice Smoker, charg-
ed with assault and battery. She plead
guilty to the charge and was fined 81
