DROWNING ACCIDENT.

SILVER lake SUNDAY hilefuOont august D.
This young man, with Others, was on a
Sunday excursion to Barnard, which has
suddenly sprung into prominence as a
summer resort.
A large company Of young men and boys
were in bathing on the south shore, ABOUT
a quarter OF 8 mile below the cottages.
The older ones Who were good swimmers,
started to swim across to the north shore,
leaving behind small boys and those who
could not swim. Among the latter was
young Dean. Wading in beyond his
depth, he became frightened, strangled
and suddenly sank. He rose once, throw
ing out his hands, but there was no one
near who could help him and be went out
OF sight again. This sad affair cast q deep
gloom over the hundreds of Sunday Wis
itors and caused great excitement. The
banks. shore and fields we're lined with
men, women and children, all eager to
render every assistance possible to recover
the body Every boat on the lake was
brought into requisition with rakes and !
graphing hooks. Expert divers we're !
employed, guns fired and dynamite ex-
.. oded but the b dy was not recovered
from the lake until nearly noon Monday.
