Came Near Drowning.

The seven-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Jones who reside in Main street
had narrow escape from death by
drowning Saturday afternoon. The lit
tie fellow was playing on the ice in the
river near Fredrich's livery barn when
he fell into the water. His cry for help
attracted a large crowd but before any
one could aid him he managed to
reach shore by his own eXertion. This
should be a warning to other boys to
keep OFF icethe until such time rs it is
safe to venture upon it.

For a Boxing Tourney.

A number of people interested in the
manly art are trying to arrange FOR one
or two exhibitions in the fStic line dur

though one or two events of this nature
would be supported here There are sew
eral good and clever lightweights who
might be induced to favor a Watertown
