Wilkesbarre, Pa, May l2.-Eisht
High School students, six girls and
two boys, whose ages ranged from
sixteen to eighteen years, lost their
lives to-day while boating on what is
known as the Old Paper Mill Dam. at
Huntington Mills, about twenty miles
below this city, in the lower end OF
Luzerne county. The dead are:
Maud sutIiGe, Town Line.
CAROLYN Koons, Hnrve,Sille.
Ruth Bonhnm, Town Line.
Iris Davenport, Wntertown.
RncheI Thompson, Town Hill.
AdeliDe Good, Wntertown.
Robert 11innich, koonsyille.
Ray Dodson, .Fairmount.
Twelve students of the Huntington
High school secured two boats at the
noon hour and started for row on
the dam. When the two crafts had
reached the centre of the body of
water 1t was noticed that one OF them
had sprung leak. The two boats
were then pulled together and an eff
fort was being made to transfer the
girls from the leaky boat 10 the safer
craft.
The last one of the .party had
scarcely set foot in the boat when 1t
began to sink. owing to the combined
weight of the party.
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.

women had succeeded In reaching

Minnich again started for the shore
but the exertion was too much for the
gallant lad and the two went down
together when they were within a
stones throw of the bank
AS soon as the sound craft began to
fill with water, 1t appeared as though
every member became terror stricken.
The shrieks OF the drowning girls
could be plainly heard on the bank of
the dam. but there was no one to go
to the rescue of the iniperiled party.
The terrible accident has cast a
gloom over the lower end of Luzerne
county. where the families Of all the
victims are prominent.
Three of those who We're drowned
would have graduated this summer,
Young Minnich, and the Misses Bon
ham and Good.
AS soon as the accident became
known. hundreds of persons began a
search for the bodies. Strangely
enough those of NIinnich and Miss
Davenport were the first recovered.
After graphing for less than two
hours. all the bodies were recovered.
Not one of the parents of the
drowned boys and girls knew of the
accident until all of the bodies had
been brought to shore.
