ST. PAUL, July GA sad drowning
accident occurred at Spring Park, Min

people of st. Paul-Laura Lewis. Ida
Swanson and Rufus Hogan-were the
victims. In company with thirteen
other young people from this city and
four from Minneapolis the young people
started for the lake in the morning for
picnic and after spending the morning
in celebrating the day, decided to go
out on the lake. The party left Spring
Parh in four boats with four people in
each. In one boat were the three peo-
pie who were drowned and Oscar San
dell, of this city. The boat taken by
this party was broad bottomed craft,
but it was not easily handled the young
people went back to shore and took a
narrow boat, pointed at both ends.
While rowing in deep water about thirty
rods from shore, the boat was over
turned, and before assistance could
reach them three of the young people
were drowned.

realize this, as he became a trife
nervous. He pulled the escape valve
cord. but the cord refused to work. It
was then question Of life or death.
Again and again he pulled. For mo
ment the huge mass shook and quivered.
Soon ourposition became uncomfortable
because of the odor of gas. To mitigate
this the. hold on the cord was released.
To our amazement the valve refused to
close. Professor Rogers kept his hold
on the rope. Suddenly noise overhead
caused us to look up. There was small
rent in the balloon, which, as the gas es-
capped, increased to ayard. Atfrstslowly
and then like an arrow, the balloon de-
seconded. In this awful descentit occurred
to me that two carrier pigeons
were in the bottom of the car. With
one wrench pulled the cover from the
the cage and they We're free. A mo-
ment later we struck the water. 1t
seemed as if 1 went ten feet below the
surface. I knew we would have to
swim and before we struck the water 1
had thrown my coat away. l had not
time to remove my shoes but while in
the water lay on my back and removed
them. Then became tangled up in the
netting. When we came up wriggled
free and jumped out Of the basket. The
land seemed far away, thonsh I am
told it was only 800 yards. All this
time I heard Professor Eogers behind
me and supposed he was swimming for
the shore. I felt sick at the stomach as
swan, from the effects of breathing
the gas, and if I had not been picked up
gu clly T would have given out.
Whether Professor Rogers died from
the effects of the gas or from his fall
don't know. lie was near me all the
time until he sank in my walse.''

IDAHO WILD MEN.

Two of Them Recently Captured Near
Boise City.
BOISE CRY, Ida, July 6.-The two
wild men of Skookum valley were cap
tured at Barnum's ranch Saturday af-
ternoon. Before they were taken the
little girl who claimed that one Of them
had attempted to criminally assault her
confessed that she had told falsehood
at her mothers suggestion. She said
that the men did approach her and try
to steal her basket of berries, but that
was all they did. This confession saved
the lives of the wild men, who. were
captured in cave which had for over
two years been their habitation. After
their capture they were locked up in q
milk house at Barnnm. They are
tough looking citizens, their faces and
bodies being nearly covered by dark red
hair. They are men of about 20 years of
age and are Germans. They are not the
men who escaped from the penitentiary
few years ago. and no one knows why
they should have relapsed into semi
savagery. They were questioned by an
interpreter, but refused to give an intel
igible reply. They are evidently about
half-witted, but do not seem to be at all
vicious. Jake Swigart, who lives at
Skookum Valley, says he is sure the wild
men are the sons of an old German
prospector who died in the mountains
three years ago. He had two or three
boys, and no one knew what became Of
them. The wild men may possibly be
sent to the state insane asylum. They
have been seen score Of times by as
many different people during the past
two years, but as any one who referred
to the appearance OF the supposed
gorillas was sure to be ridiculed the
matter was not frequently discussed.
But for all that the people of Skookum
Valley always carried guns or clubs
| when they walked abroad at night.
