WILKESBARRE. PA, May IL
Eight high school students. six girls
and two boys, whose ages ranged
from 10 to is years. lost their lives
today while boating on what is known
as the old raper Mill dam, at Hunt
ington Mills. about 20 miles below
this city. In the lower end of Luzerne
county.
The dead are:
MAUD SUTLIFFE, Town Line.
CAROLYN KOONS, Harvcyville.
RUTH BONHAM. Town Line.
IRIS DAVENPORT. WATERFOWL.
RACHEL THCfiPSON. Town Hun.
MADELINE GOOD. Waterfowl.
ROBERT MINNiCH. Koonsyille.
RAY DODSON. Paramount.
Twelve students of the Huntington
high school secured two boats at the
noon hour and started fer a row on
the dam. When the two craft had
reached the center OF the body OF
water, it was noticed that one or
them had sprung a leak. The two
boats were then pulled together and
an IT was beinH made to transfer
the girls from the leak. boat to the
safer craft. The last one OF the party
had scarcely set foot in the boat when
it began to sink, owing to the COM
bined weight of the party.
Girls Helpless.
The girls were helpless to save
themselves and the boys of the party,
with the exception Of DodsOn, being
expert swimmers, struck out for the
shore. which all reached in safety.
Minnich. in the excitement, It Is
presumed. thought that all the young
women had succeeded in reaching
land He had no s-cner gained the
bank than he noticed the girls hang
ing to the rapidly sinking boat.
The boy dashed into the water and
swan swiftly to the waterfilled craft
Only two of the girls were cling!ng TO
the boat, the others having gone dawn
for the last time Selling Miss
Davenport. Minnich again started for
the shore, but the exertion was too

went down tcgether. when they were
within a stones throw of the bank.
Become Terror-stricken.
As soon as the sound craft began
to fill with water. 1t appeared as
though every member became terror
stricken. The shrieks of the drown
ing girls could be plainly heard on
the bank OF the dam, but there was
no one TO go TO the rescue of the
imperilled party.
The terrible accident has cast n
gloom over the liver end Of Llzerne
county. where the fanatics OF al! the
victims are prominent. Three OF
these who we're drowned would have
graduated this summer, young Min
mich and the Misses Bonham and

As soon as the accident became
known. hundreds Of persons soon be

enough those of Minnich and Miss
Davenport we're the first recovered.
After graphing for less than two
hours 3lI the bodies were recovered.

drowned boys and girls knew Of the
accident until all 4 the bodies had

HAT PINS AS A MENACE.

In Chicago an agitation has been
started against long hatpins, and an
ordinance may be passed to limit the
length OF these dangerous public
menaces." Big hats. it seems, have
made extra long hatpins necessary
but often the pins are too long and
extend several inches from the hats.
