TWO MEN DROWN IN
BEAR VALLEY LAKE
ATTEMPT TO CROSS DURING
TERRIFIC STORM
One Sinks Immediately on Capsize of
Boat, and the Other Perlshes
While EndeaVorlng to
Rescue Him

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, July 6.-The
remains of Otis James were recovered
from Bear valley lake this afternoon.
1t is expected that the body of his
companion, Henry Goodwin, will be
found before dark The inquest will
be held tomorrow morning by Coroner
c. d. Van VIE, who left for Bear val
ley this afternoon.
The tragedy occurred yesterday aft
ernoon, the two men losing their lives
while attempting to cross the lake
during a terrific windstorm. They had
been warned against the venture, as
the waters of the lake were being
dashed furiously, but, as both were
good swimmers, they expressed no
fear.
They had reached the center of the
lake when the boat was seen to stand
almost on end. In the excitement both
men appeared to lose their presence
of mind, and were tossed into the wa
ter the boat at the same instant over
turning.
Goodwin was not seen again, but
James rose to the surface and APP
peared to be swimming around seek
ing his companion. That he could
have saved himself by clinging to the
bottom of the boat is thought certain
by those who witnessed the tragedy
from the shore but in his search for
Goodwin he allowed the boat to get
too far away, and when at last he
started out for it he was too exhaust
ed to make the fight with the waves,
and, suddenly throwing up both arms,
sank out of sight.
All night the people of Bear valley
grappled for the bodies, their work
being greatly interfered with by the
tree stumps which are embedded in
the bottom of the lake. 1t had been
expected that Goodwin's body would
be found soon after that of James was
brought to the surface but careful
search of the floor of the lake near
where the hooks picked up James
proved useless.
James was about 20 years old and
was the son of a pioneer family of this
valley He had father at Rands-
burg, and a brother at Goldfield. He
and a younger brother were employed
at the lumber mill at Bear valley. The
body will be brought here tomorrow,
and probably buried Thursday morn
ing from the parlors of Mcdonald
Bros
