A Sad Drowning.

Sunday morning about ten O'clock,
while a party of seven young folks
were crossing the bay from Shelton to
/ Chapmau's Cove, in two small skiffs,
one of the boats filled and was capsiz-
ed, and one of the occupants Sven
Swanson was drowned. Sven, his
sisters, Ida and Alma Swanson, and AL
+ fred Martin, were in the capsized boat,
the two girls sitting in the stern and
loading that end of the boat down,
and the bay being quite rough, the
water came in over the stern of the
boat. This excited the occupants and
all were precipitated into the water.
Gus Swanson and wife and Sam.
Swanson, who were in the other boat
some distance in advance, came to their
relief as quickly as possible, and after
considerable effort succeeded in get
ting all to the shore but Sven Swan
sou, who did not appear to come to the
surface after going down the first time
probably because he had considerable
silver on his person.
The accident occurred not far from
John Seig's at the mouth of the Cove,
and about 500 feet from the shore,
and the rescued. 4ones were warmed
and cared for'in Mr.. ScIg's home un-
til able to be taken to Mrs. Swanson's,
where they still remain suffering from
the effects of the shock and their long
stay in the water.
The occupants of the capsized boat
were children of John and Mary
Swanson, except young N artin, who is
cousin and recently came from Swe-
deu. Mr. Swanson is section foreman
On the Shelton Southwestern Railroad
and Mrs. Swanson has been living on
the farm, sending the younger chill
dren to school.
Word Of the accident soon reached
Shelton, and a party went over to
search for the body, which was not
found until almost midnight, when
the graphing hooks caught it in about
fifteen feet of water.
The funeral took place from the
Methodist Church Tuesday morning,
the services being conducted by Pastor
Covington, who delivered an impress
sive address, and was assisted by the
choir. A large number of friends
from Chapman's Cove and Shelton
were present, and followed the remains
to the grave in the Odd Fellows ceme-
terry. Sven Swanson was Is years, 2
months and five days old, and leaves,
besides his sorrowing parents, four
sisters and three brothers. He was a
bright lad and well liked by all.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Swanson and
children desire to thank the many
friends, both in Shelton and the Cove,
who so kindly assisted in the search,
and otherwise in their recent affection;
their kindnesses are appreciated and
will not soon be forgotten.

By invitation of the w. .. T. U. Miss
Mary L. Page and her sister Miss EN-
ma E. Page, will spend two week in
Shelton in the interest of medal con
test work. Under their leadership two
classes of girls haye been organized
in less than twenty four hours. There
wasn't room for all who wanted to go
into the work, and it is a special laurel
to Shelton, that a class of boys haye
enlisted.
We regret that any who are ready
and anxious to speak for the temper
ance cause and kindred reforms should
be cut off from the opportunity, but
the Misses Page will probably work
sixteen hours day to get these classes
we'll trained in two weeks, and, as the
