Albert Lilligren, twenty years of age
and a resident of Saltwater, was
drowned in St. Croix lake, near White
Birch, Wis.,, Sunday, while attempting
to ferry team of horses across the
water. The animals crowded to one
side of the boat, tipping the latter so
that it shipped little water, and then
fell OF plunged overheard. AS they did
so Lilligren seized one of the horses
around the neck and went with him
into the water, but for some reason lost
his hold and sank at once. His four
companions, who remained in the boat,
say he did not reappear. The body was
recovered few hours later, and the
funeral will be held at 2 O'Clock to-day
from Wing & SimOnet's undertaking
rooms.

naturally supposed that the time limit
would now prevent the census of that
district being taken at all. Mayor Du-
rant yesterday advised Supervisor Smith
of the situation. and the latter wired
back: ''Plenty of time to complete the
enumeration in district referred to. 1
assure you the work will be satisfacto-
rily completed"
