MAY Be DROWNED.
Arthur POuiI|otte and lau-
renee John Missing
Went TO Dam Pond Sunday, May
l6, for Days Fishing.
Part Of Clothing and Lunch Found
Yesterday on Landing.

Report was made to City Marshal
McFadden Sunday evening by Adelard
PouiIlotte OF 43 Franklin street that
mis- son Arthur, aged 81 years, and
Laurence JOHN, aged 10 years, a son
had been missing since Sunday, May
lG and that fears We're entertained
that the young men had been drowned
iii Dam pond, where they went on the
date above mentioned for the purpose
of enjoying days fishing.
Mr.. Pouillotte used to live near the
shore OF the pond in question and it
has always been favorite resort for
his son since they came to live in the
city proper. He had been in the habit of
going to the pond and sometimes pass
ed several days there, so that when the
two young men did not return home
at the time that they said they would
nothing was thought of it. With the
passing of the week. however, their
failure to return caused eaSing
alarm. and yesterday morning broth
er of young POuillotte went out to the
pond to see if he could find them or
learn of their whereabouts.
None of the people Of that vicinity
had seen them, and there were no in
dicatiOns that they had been to the
house which was formerly occupied by
Mr. Pouillotte and family and which
the boys sometimes used as a camp
but down on the landing on the shore
of the pond young Pouillotte found a
portion of the boys clothing and the
food which they had taken with them
OH leaving home, both of which show
ed evidence of having been there for
some time.
The missing Pouillotte boy had
canvas canoe which he used on the
pond. and as no trace of the canoe
could be found it is feared that the two
started out fishing soon after their ar
rival and that by the overturning of
the canoe they were drowned. City
Marshal McFadden will send an officer
to the FOND this morning and a search
will be made.

The State Board of Engineers
will recommend that the State
aid the district to the extent of
some $4,000 and the district
pledge the balance necessary,
say about S., 1000. This project
if approved, and we feel sure
that Governor Sanders will ap-
prove it, will restore the conf
dence Of the people and they will
be in a better position than ever
before. Only a short time will
be necessary with proper protec-
ton to make the section en-
braced within the back levee the
most productive section on earth.
Major Kerr, in discussing the
drainage proposition, after
the meeting, said that the
dahls and open fumes as
presently constructed and in
stalled were a MANAGE and would
remain a MANAGE and that a final
plan to eliminate all risks of that
character would call for a pro-
ject in regard to drainage which
would involve a pumping plant
or plants. In the meantime,
however, owing to the expense
necess ry to install pumping
stations, dahls and open fumes
would have to be resorted to for
drainage. 1t was, however,
hoped that a better character OF
construction and closer detail
followed in the installation of
such dahls and open fumes, but
Major Kerr expressed the opin'
ion that ultimately the boxes anc
and fumes all ought to be re
: moved.
The result of the meeting yes
: terday demonstrated just wha
: can be done by concerted actor

y y purpose the common good an
