Drowned at Clear Lake.

Last Friday a young lad named
George Shaw left his home near
Huffman to cross Clear Lake as
he did not return that night his
folks supposed he had gone to
Britton but the next day a man
crossing the lake saw a hat near
an air-hole. Upon investigation
it was found that young Shaw
had broken through the ice and
had been drowned. The body was
recovered.
