message addressed 'sMrs. FL. G. Howen'' TO the
proper destination, bnt when the intelligence
reached us our dead sister was being borne to her

DROWNED STUDENTS LAST SEEN

Madison, April 16.

Madison, April 16.
The finding OF pieces of lattice
work from the bottom Of the Forster
Smith canoe and a report which In.
dicates that the craft was swamped
by heavy waves beyond Picnic Point
were the developments of yesterday
in the mystery of the drowning OF
the two students, John o. Watkins
and George X. Hamilton.
Several OF the members OF the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity
walked around the shore of the lake
as far as Pheasant Branch and dis
covered some of the lattice work
from the bottom of the canoe. Owing
to the roughness Of the lake, no at
Temps at dragging were made.
The last persons 10 see the boys
were two university women, one of
them an instructor. The women were
padding in the vicinity of Picnic
Point Monday afternoon. When they
saw the students, the boys were
padding across the lake and the light
bSot was III th9 thNuSu lOl huG WAVES.
1t is thought that the accident was
due TO the boys unfamiIIarity with
conditions on the lake. Those who
have lived here for years and have
been much on the water say that al
though it may be calm ON shore,
there is always rongh water in the
middle where there is generally a
southwest wind blowing.

FROM INJURIES
VICTIM OF TRAIN ACCIDENT TOO
WEAK TO WITHSTAND
THE SHOCK.
PASSES AWAY AFTER AMPUTA.
TIoN OF RIGHT LEG ABOVE
THE KNEE.
Madison. April 16.

Madison, April 16.
Harry Feldman of Mount Horeb
was struck by Northwestern passen-
ger train, No. sos, near the inter
locking tower on Lake Monona at
$40 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
His right leg was so badly shattered
that amputation was necessary. He
died from the shock at the hospital
at 5:45 o'clock.
Feldman was too weak to say
much and the details of the acct
dent could not be asce! tanned. He
vas walking along the Northwestern
tracks in southerly direction ana 1t
is presumed that he intended TO
take the train for home at the South
Madison depot. 1t appears that he
did not hear the southbound train be
hind him.
1t was evident from an examina-
tion made by the physicians that one
or more wheels passed over his les
it was terribly crushed between the
knee and thigh.
He was picked up and brought to
Madison on the train which struck
him. DIR. Thomas w. Tormey, the
company's physician, was called and
Feldman was removed to the hospital
where the leg was amputated.
Feldman was about 81 years old.
He was the son of Wulf Feldman of
Mount Horeb.
The remains were removed to Gills
undertaking rooms. Coroner Lynch
a jury which viewed the
remains and adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. At that sime an
inquest will be held at the court
house.

served Sank county twice as register
OF deeds, he was several times treas
urer of Baraboo and as assessor of
Reedsburg was elected until he re-
fused to hold the position longer. In
all his public life, as in his private
business pursuits, no breath of sus-
picion ever WAS heard against his
god name. Honest in spirit, his deal
ings with his fellow man were
MAJ ked with the highest sense of
integrity.
Since Mr. Blake has lived in Bos-
eobel he has scarcely seen well day.
The wasting disease that slowly
Slapped his life away has been his
constant companion. Medical help
there was none possible, and the
kindly ministrations of a devoted
family brought only alienation.
Funeral services win be held at
the home this afternoon, conducted
by the Reve~nnds' w. Barnett and
Thomas Kent, in which both the Ma
sonic and Odd Follow fraternities
will participate.
