The current did not look heavy, and
it was decided by Love that they
would pull directly across the river a
few feet above the dam.
Rock entered the skiff and picked
up the oars and Love seated himself
10 the stern. Then they started across
the river.
When they showed of from the ban
Rock remarked that the current wa
swifter than it looked, and be for

toward the dam.
Love rushed to the oars to assist
Rock, but the combined efforts OF both
men failed to have any effect and the
boat and its occupants were carried
over the dam.
Persons on the east bank thought
they heard cries coming from the
river but little did they think that
two OF their townsmen were in the
throes of the dark waters.
The situation finally dawned upon
them that Love and Rock might have
been the victims aud they were finally
told that the beat had not reached
the opposite bank.

the bodies of the drowned men, but
they have not been recovered this af-

sort OF discouraged fashion and every
one was sur prised when be saw what
had been accomplished by the storm.
About foot OF snow had fallen.
1t had been wet at arst and had
clung to telephone and telegraph
wires making them many times their
usual size. The branches OF the trees
and bushes were weighted with the
snow and many OF them had been
broken down by the excessive weight
Many telephone and telegraph wires
were broken and lay In the streets.
The electric light wires also Jared
badly and there were lights In but
few places this morning when people
got up.
All day repairmen we're busy get
ting the wires In shape but they have
not yet caught up with the damage.
Few phones In town came through
the storm without being put out Of
commission.
No messages went In or out of town
today over the telephone or telegraph
until late In the day. Walking has
not been very pleasant and the fair sex
has kept In doors. Work has been
interfered with to great extent and
most Of out door work has suspended.
The weather is expected to turn
colder on the heels Of the storm. No
more snow Is expected to come on
this although the fakes have been
coming all day long without pIling
up the total depth any more.
