"a see II the drowned children were
theirs. but up TO the time OF going
10 press the bodies have not been
recognized
The accident took place on the
shore Of tho lake near Ward and
Meailake SITS. The boys were seen
playing on some log piles earlier
IN the day.
Ia some way one OF them mus,
have slipped aud pulled the other
one with him into the lake.
FATS Gave Clue.
4 toamster passing by the lake
shore saw two hats floating on the
water lie at once gave the alarm.
A crowd gathered at the scene OF
the tragedy.
