Mrs. L. James, who has been un-

On Thursday afternoon of last
week there occurred very sad ac-
cident here. Mr.. George Kinback
and Mr.. Stephen Short, of Scranton,
came to D. A. Locklin's to spend
time fishing in the lake. The high
winds made the lake somewhat
rough and after they had been some
time engaged in fishing near the head
of the lake, by some means the boat
was overturned, and the occupants
thrown into the water. Mr.. Short
could swim but Mr.. Kinback could
not. Mr.. Short succeeded in getting
Mr.. Kinback back into the boat
which was partly filled with water.
Mr.. Kinback then cut one of the
anchor ropes while Mr.. Short lifted
the other out of the water into the
boat. In their efforts to reach
stump, some twenty feet distance,
Mr.. Short swimming and pushing the
boat, it was again capsized and Mr..
Kinback was again thrown into the
water. 1t was learned from Mr..
up all hopes of being rescued and
not notwithstanding the brave ef-
forts of Mr.. Short he gave up. Mr..
Shorts call for help was heard at
Lakeville, more than a mile away,
and by Miss Hazel James, whose peo-
pie live along the lake. Oliver
Locklin took a boat and went in
answer to the call of Mr.. Short,
though they did not realize that it
was so serious matter. Soon af-
ter Alfred Locklin followed and
they reached Mr.. Short just as he
was losing consciousness. He was
taken from the water and they to-
gether started for the home of La
fayette James, who also had started
with boat for the scene, accom-
panied by his nephew, Harry James
of East Orange, N. j. With this ad-
dition he was easily carried to the
James residence where members of
the family and neighbors assisted in
restoring him. Their faithful labors
were rewarded, for he regained con-
sciousness within two hours. DR..
White, of Ariel, came in answer to
needs of the unfortunate man.
oliver Locklin and Harry James
went back to recover the body of
Mr.. Kinback, which they succeeded
in doing, and it was taken in boat
to the home of D. A. Locklin. A
Mr.. Vosburg, of Scranton, prepared
the body for shipment. Undertaken
Teeter, of Hawley, took charge of the
remains which were removed to
Hawley for shipment to his home at
Scranton. A party from Scranton
consisting of Charles Rosar, an as
sistant of Mr.. Kinback's in the hotel
business, and Herman Dimerich, a
son-in-law of Mr.. Short, arrived in
an automobile about IL o'clock p.
m. and gave directions relating to the
care of the body and in interest to
Mr.. Short. On Friday Mr.. Short
was able to accompany the party
conveying the remains to Scranton.
Mr.. George Kinback was born in
Germany in 1850, and came to this
country in 1866; he has resided in
Scranton, in which city he has been
interested in business for many
years. He served one term as Treas
urer of Lackawanna county and has
been politician of some promi-
nence. In 1890 he was married to
Miss Katherine Schmidt, of Jeffer-
sonville, N. Y, who, with his four
