AND THEN He SANK
Walter Brown browns in
Sight of His Friends in
Worlds Fair Lake.
''J am about all in fellows. ="

am ABOUT all IN IeHOWS.
With these words Walter Brown, aged
eighteen, sank beneath the waves of
the Fair Grounds lake Saturday after
noon and was drowned before the eyes
of his companions who were in bath
ing with him at the time. The young
man, who is the only son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. b. Brown had gone to the lake
with four or five companions for a
swim and had been there but a few
minutes when they decided to swim
out to a raft about a hundred feet from
shore. After playing about the raft
for few minutes they started back,
the Atleer boys in the lead. John
Ward Wheeler, son of Clerk Wheeler
was but few feet away when Brown
gasped that he was becoming exhaust
ed and Wheeler turned to assist him,
but the boy sank before he could be
given aid, and never returned to the
surface.
The boys watched for few minutes
to see If he would appear but finally
found it necessary to give the alarm.
Word was telephoned to town for help.
Mr.. Brown was at his farm near Shell
by But Mrs. Brown and the three sis
tiers of the drowned boy were soon at
the lake. In short time one hundred
citizens hurried out to the lake and
gathered at the waters edge. F. e.
Farley donned a bathing suit and made
several attempts to recover the body,
but without avail.
The water where he went down was
nearly forty feet deep and Mr.. Farley
found it impossible to get down over
fifteen or twenty feet. The water at
this depth is intensely cold and the
strongest swimmer can not stand it for
| any length of time. Hooks and ropes
were quickly secured and a systematic
dragging of the lake for the body was
begun. The drowning occurred about
three o'clock but not until siX-thirty
was the search rewarded by the finding
of the body.
Body Recovered.
William StoItz finally succeeded in
catching the body with a graphing
hook. but owing to the depth of the
water could not raise the body. An
other hook was let down carefully and
caught fast after which they We're en-
abled to draw the body to the surface
of the water 1t was found that a
hook had CHANGED to catch under each
arm Immediately after recovering the
body an effort was made TO start re-
spiration, but life was extinct.
Walter was one of the best known
and most popular boys of Crown Point.
He was a member of the Crown Point
high school and was quite prominent
in athletics. He was known to be a
good swimmer and perfectly at home in
the water. 1t is supposed that the
accident was due to cramps. His par
ents are grief stricken over the sad
affair. and the entire community is
yelled in sorrow.

BODY FOUND
IN RIVER
Corpse Picked up at Foot Of
Ninety second
Street.
LOOKS LIKE A MURDER
Cash on Head Gives Foul Play
Theory-No Marks of
Identification.

South Chicago. June 1.-THE police
of South Chicago may have a murder
mystery on their hands as the body
of a neatly dressed man was found
floating in the Calumet river near what
is known as the Island at the foot of
Ninety second street last night. 1t is
the general opinion that the man did
not meet death accidentally or by sui
eide, as a cash was found in the top Of
his head three inches in length. that
gives strength to the murder or as
sault theory
The man was apparently about 40
years of age, sandy complexion and
wore a sandy moustache. He is about
feet inches in height and wore a
block suit His pockets were found
to contain but 80 cents in money, a
union card with no name attached and
a railroad ticket between the Park
Row and Kensington stations.
Railroad Ticket Gives Clue.
The ticket bore the date June u, so
that the body could not have been in
the water before that time. The cash
on the top of the head was fully three
inches in length and probably caused
a fracture of the skull. The body was
found floating near the shore and it
is the supposition that the man was
first assaulted and later thrown into
the water. From the fact that no
money was found in the pockets gives
rise to the theory that the man was
either murdered in a robbery or was
the victim of n fight and was then
robbed and the body thrown into the
water to hide the crime. From the
position of the wound it is hardly pos
sible that the man met death by drown
ing or from falling into the water and
striking some obstacle.
Victim of DisreputabIes9
The body of the unfortunate man was
taken to the morgue on Ninety second
street and Buffalo avenue and an in
quest will be held this afternoon to
determine the cause of the mans death
if possible. Nothing about the body Of
the clothing gave any clew as to the
mans identity and the police will en-
deavor to locate him. From the close
proximity of the spot where the body
was found it is thought that the man
might have come to his death in some
one of the notorious dives along the
Strand or the Harbor and that after
the death blow was given the body was
thrown into the water to hide evidence
Of the crime. The man was evidently
of the better class of workmen to be
found in the mills hereabouts, but he
was not known in South Chicago so far
as could be ascertained. The police of
the 18th precinct are working hard on
the case.

DO NOT SWEAR
AT THE WEATHER
This the Advice Given By
Doctor Morgan These
Warm Days
LOOK PLEASANT
AND BE CAUTIOUS

Don't curse about the warm wealth
er. Just smile, and say 1t is warm to-
day." This is the advice given by DIT.
James H. Morgan, who was asked for
information to-day about how to keep
cool these warm Gays.
"The man who uses the most cuss
words during hot weather is the man
tinued the doctor.
Now at first glance" remarked DIR.
Morgan, that might sound very fool
ish, but on sober reflection 80 persons
out of 100 will agree with me. In my
long years of experience, have all
ways found il to be the case that a
man who fusses and fumes through the
summer and ends In criticism Of the
weather by always damning Old Sol
for heating up the earth so is the mar
who is always mopping his perspirina
brow.
MY advice is; Never cuss or swear
in the summer time, and youll keel
cool. Yes, you'll feel a breeze all the
time. When you swear it naturally
follows that you are getting worked up
and this means that you becom,
warmer, until you almost reach tbs
boiling point.
"The man who goes along the ever
tenor OF his way-the fellow who nevei
ars. is that man who never payl
any attention to the good old sum.
mertime. He is always smiling, anC
stroIs along as cool as a cucumber
Indeed, from his appearance one woulC
think that he is in the midst Of
snowstorm He even makes you shive
to look at him. You don't see his liner
ruhled. 1t looks as IL it had come fresl
from the laundry.
How different with the man Wit
cusses or swears. He goes without hi
hat and coat. but still he is warm
Then he swears and he gets warmer
be swears still more and he become
hotter and the more he swears tn
hotter he gets. SO you see there i
no use in swearing at the weathe
latter all.
my advice to Wilmingtonlans
never become ruffled and never sweai
ITO swear is 10 be warm, exceedingl
warm. Not 70 swear is to live con
tinually in a mountain Of breeze, jus
as you like"
Along with the don't swear rem
