Two Boys Meet Death
While Boating in EDDY
Of Swollen River Sunday

:, Two boys, Will Odegard and Ralph
johnson, were drowned Sunday after
noon in the Red river. Another boy,
Victor Gies, narrowly escaped a simi-
lar fate, being pulled from the water
just In time to save his life.
The accident occurred Sunday af-
ternoon at $3.50 o'clock In East Grand
Forks. The three boys were on the
river in canvas canoe. about 100 feet
from shore. The place is generally
known as the slough. but the high
water has made 1t part of the river.
Many people along the street saw
the accident. but were powerless to
assist the unfortunate lads.
Canoe Capsized.
The three boys had embarked in the
canoe, and were rocking when it
tipped. Victor Gies managed to stay
by the boat until help arrived. The
other two boys made desperate efforts
to reach the boat. but the ice cold
water probably caused cramps and
they both sank.
Edward Supernault was about 200
yards away from the scene Of the ac-
cident when he heard the call for
help. He was around bend, but soon
rescued Victor Gies. who was cling
ing to the boat in the ice cold water.
Bodies Located.

drowned was started. Within fifteen

Question of Constitutionality

Associated Press to The Evenin. Times,
Washington, April 8.-The case of
Howard against the Illinois Central
Railroad company and that of Brooks
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
company, both involving the constitu-
tionaltty of the railroad employers IL
ability act, came up for hearing before
the United States supreme court to-
day. The government has intervened
in the cases and tho attorney general
will appear in defense of the statute.
Since the liability act was passed at
the last session of congress two judges
have decided that it is unconstitution-
al, while the United States district
courts for the western district Of
Washington and tho eastern district
of Arkansas have held that the enact
ment was within the powers of con-
gress. The cases are considered to be
of great Importance, not only because
OF the number of similar cases now
pending. but because OF the principles
involved. The statute will be thor
oughly reviewed by the supreme court
and its decision Is awaited with great
interest by attorneys for the govern
ment as we'll as by members of union
labor organizations throughout the
country.

DISPATCHES SAY PUER-
TO CORTEZ ALSO FELL

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington. April s.-While NO Of
fetal information of the capture of
Puerto Cortez. Honduras, by Nicara-
guam troops, has reached the state de-
partment, a cablegram was received
today from Frederick NJ. Ryder, con-
sui at San Juan Del Norte, Nicara-
qua. saying that advices had been re-
ceived there that troops were advanc-
ing along the Honduran coast from
Trujille. The cablegram failed to say
whether the troops were marching to-
ward Puerto Cortez or not. but it is
understood here that the dispatch had
reference to the Ncaraguan army and
that 1t was advancing from Trujille,
which already was in the hands of the
Nicaraguans. to Puerto Cortez. This
makes it probable that the capture of
Puerto Cortez was by the Nicaraguan
army, especially as the American gum
boats off the coast of Honduras would
likely prevent the bombardment of the
town by the Nicaraguan navy.
Mobile, Ala, April S.-The steamer
which has just arrived here brings
the news that Puerto Cortez has fall
len.
Mobile, Ala, April S.-Advices just
received say that Ceiba. Honduras. is
also in the hands of Nicaraguans.

We had been out during the larger
part of the afternoon, and rocking had
been part of the fun all the time. When
the boat tipped, Will Odegard and my
self were engaged in rocking. Ralph
Johnson sitting still. AS soon as the
boat turned over. got hold of it.
Ralph hollered to me to help him,
which l did. When he took hold of
the boat. 1t made a sudden turn, and
he lost his hold. He then started for
a tree near by, and that is the last
saw of him. Will Odegard also had a
hold on the boat for a while. but
believe he made an effort to reach one
OF the trees near by when he went
down.
Will Not Hold Inquest.
There will be no inquest held. The
drowning was purely accidental, and
Coroner Chesterman decided that an
inquest was unnecessary.
The funeral of Ralph Johnson will
be held on Tuesday afternoon from
the Mendenhall Memorial church, Rev.
]. X. Burleson officiating. The funeral
of Will Odegard has not been ar
ranged for as yet.
Mrs. Odegard, who has been slight
