jumped from the train, being instantly

Boy Drowned.

A most unfortunate accident occurred
last night by which George Cooking,
the 15.year old step-son of Edward
Johnston lost his life.
George in company with Guy Sell
den, about ten years old, went down to
the lake at about half past five to go in
swimming. George stripped off mis-
clothing and getting on to long plank
showed the plank ont some fifty or
sixty feet from the shore.
Guy, however, did not go into the
water, rs he tells the story, but stood
on the bank watching George. He al
SO says he cautioned George not to go
out so far, VINO replied that lie could
swim. Guy then started to go back
toward the house. He had gone few
rods along the bank and turning to look
back saw George in the water apparent
ly struggling to hold on TO the plank,
and soon after lie saw him
sink out of sight. He waited few
moments expecting him to come to the
surface again, but rs he did not
he started for homo to give the alarm.
Mrs. VIM. Cosgrove, who lives in Mr..
Foote'S house, overheard Guy tell her
children, who were playing in the yard,
what had happened, and started for
the place to rescue George if possible,
but on arriving there, though she
could see the body in the water, it was
out too far for her to reach it by any
means at band.
Presently Nelson Pennock came along
but he thought the boy beyond human
aid and made no immediate effort to get
him out but went after more help and q
boat. The body was taken out in about
half an hour. but life was extinct.
The water where the boy was
drowned was not over six feet deep,
and as he was good swimmer the ac-
cident can only be explained on the
theory that he was taken suddenly with
cramps.
George was q bright, manly boy and
his untimely death will prove hard
blow 10 the bereaved mother who has
the sympathy of the entire community
in her affl lotion.
The funeral services will probably be
held at the M. e. church tomorrow.

Found Gold Quartz.

Mr.. Ovid Gudreau, some time ago,
entered an eighty acre tract of land in
section "a, town 40 range 80, and hay
ing some reason to believe that it
contained valuable mineral, he employ
ed Mr.. Thomas Gaynor, of Ishpeming,
to explore it. Last week Mr.. Gaynor
reported having found first class vein
of gold quartz, and also true vein OF
sinatic granite, both OF which are
valuable. Mr.. Gaynor is an explorer
of twcnty-one years experience, and his
reports may be relied upon. Mr..
Gudreau has not the means to develop
these finds so would like to make
arrangements with some one with
sufficient capital to so ahead and
develop the property. Any COM
municaticn ad dressed to Mr.. Gudreau
or to this office will receive prompt
attention.

Communication.

HANCOCK, Mich, July 22nd, 1901
To the Editor ofMe Llfnse Sentinel.
DEAR SIR:-We were considerably
surprised that you were called upon to
criticise this association without first
knowing something about It's bylaws.
We are living in the state of Michigan
and should hate to be tried by laws Of
New Guinea. You base all of your
suggestions upon your idea that
Northern Michigan Building s. Loan
Association was copied from the
National Building Loan and Investment
Company National association and o
bitter enemy Of the local. They are as
much alike as a savings bank is like o
faro bank. The National Association
copied some of the principles of the
Local Association instead of as you put
il viz; that most of the associations
copied the National Building Loan and
Investment Company. The latter was
organized in November 1889 while the
Northern Michigan was organized in
January 1889.
You also state that the exchanges say
that the money loaned at our last meet
ing was sold at 81 and 80 Ter cent.
Consult your exchanges again and see If
they do not say that the money was loan
ed at 81 and SO cents per share. You
