John Quinn Met With a Sad
Death While En- Route to
yellow Dog River.
Unable TO RECOVER BODY.
Accident Happened i'm the Night
and the Boat Was Four
Miles From Shore.

John Quinn, who had been in
the employ of the hester estate
since last spring, met with sad
death Monday night by falling from
a boat and being drowned.
Monday afternoon the tug Cotton,
with a scow in tow, started for
the Yellow Dog river. A crew
Of men and number of horses
we're on board the scow. When
out on the lake at a point about
rour miles from shore, in some
unaccountable manner Quinn ac-
ciientally fell overheard. The
boats were stopped as quickly as
possible, and the tug started back
and every effort made to rescue
the unfortunate man, but as it
was about midnight, it was i'm
possible to get sight of him.
Nr. Quinn's home was in lower
Michigan, and he came to Baraga
last spring He was twenty-siX
years of age. The accident was
certainly a sad one. The body
will probably never be recovered,
unless it floats ashore.
