| ST. PAUL, July Gone of the saddest
cases of drowning that has been record
ed in this locality for a number of
years occurred at Lake Johanna This
lake is situated about six miles from st.
Paul, and is visited by numerous pleas
ure parties who desire to spend a quiet
day and enjoy fishing and rowing. Harry
G. Tucker clerk of the Ryan hotel, ac-
companied by his wife and his father
| and sister, went out to the lake after
| dinner to spend the afternoon and even
| ing. Mr.. fuckers father and his
| sister, Mrs. Deisinger, are resi-
dents of Amsterdam, N. Y, and came
to st. Paul only a short time ago on a
visit to their relatives here. After the
party arrived at the hotel 1t was decided
to go for a boat ride, and Mrs. Tucker,
being rather timid, preferred to remain
on the bank and watch the party. Mr..
Tucker took the oars, and, accompanied
only by his father and sister, started out
over the lake. They had reached q
point about quarter of mile from
shore when, from some cause at present
unknown, the boat capsized and the three
occupants were precipitated into the lake.

before anyone could go to the rescue all
three of the former occupants of the
boat We're drowned in sight of the dis
tracted wife on the shore. The details
OF the sad affair are, at this hour very
meagre, but it is learned that Harry
Tucker made u desperate effort to save
his sister as soon as he could reach her
After coming to the surface he
started to swim ashore, but
became exhausted and the two
sank together and were seen
no more. The old gentleman was
also seen to be swimming shoreward,
but disappeared from view soon after his
son and daughter sank to the bottom
1t is said that Harry could have easily
saved himself, but he exhausted his
strength in his efforts to rescue his sister,
and being man of nearly 200 pounds in
weight, he could not keep adoat TAe
accident is said to have happened about
4:3O in the afternoon.
Harry Tucker was one of the principal
clerks of the Ryan hotel and was honored
and respected by all who knew him. His
father was an old resident of Amster-
dam, and the news of his sad death will
be severe blow to his many relatives
and friends in that locality.
