Dragged to Death by Fish.

To catch pound and half bass and
be dragged into the water and drowned
was the fate of nine-year.od Frederick
Gochen whose body was found floating in
Lake Memphremagog early Monday
morning. The boy disappeared Thurs
day morning and up to Monday his where
abouts, ALIVE or dead, was a mystery.
Searching parties dragged the lake all
day Sunday and as a last resort dynamite
was used but with no effect. When re.
covered from the water fish. pole was
tightly grasped in the lads hands and
caught by the hook was a bass. A Spite
was a favorite fishing place of young
Gochen and it is evident that the gamey
fish caused his captor to lose his balance
and fall into the water where he was
drowned. The boy is survived by wild
owed mother and one sister.
Another youthful fisherman lost his
life Monday morning from his habit of
running of the logs near his home to gain
better position. This boy was Ora
Brais, eight years of age, who fell be-
tween the logs and was drowned in four
feet of water. His playmates gave the
alarm and the mother jumped in after
the boy as he was rising the second time
She could not, however, get him out.
Eugene Bryant recovered the body but
an hours energetic work by a doctor
failed to revive him. Three brothers
and his parents survive. Mr.. Brais was
visiting in Canada and came home on
Tuesday.

Severely Sc a d e d.

George Lewis, an employee at the plant
of the Van Camp Packing Co.. lies in a
serious condition at the st. Adams hospi-
tai, is the result of a severe scalding
around the shoulders, chest, neck land
arms which he received Friday, while
working on the condenser. In some
unexplained manner a jet of the boiling
water from the condenser escaped and
struck Lewis, horribly burning him.
Medical aid was called. and he was at
once hurried to the hospital where he is
resting as comfortably as could be ex-
pected. So badly was the man burned
that when his shirt was taken off large
pieces of skin and flesh came with it.
The unfortunate man did not inbale any
of the steam and his chances for recovery
are considered favorable.
