Mitchell street, near the scene of the accident
On leaving their home that afternoon they told
their mother they were going to call on Charles
| Mcintosh, who has camp on the shore at the
, mouth of Goose river. Going to the pond above
, the electric light station they embarked in a
leaking skitf, in which no doubt they intended
, crossing the pond, and were seen padding
, about by children on their way home from
t Sunday school. The little girls of Mrs. Her.
bert F. Clark, who were playing on the bridge,
saw the two Robbins children fall into the
water and sink and at once gave the alarm,
Mrs. Clark notifying the childrens mother
Endeavors were at once made to locate the
bodies and the little boys cap was found by
James Robbins. A crew worked with hooks
and grapnels until 10 p. M, without result
resuming work the next morning, and about 9
o'clock the bodies were found resting against
the dam, and close together. They were taken
to the home of Herbert L. Stevens near the
river and the funeral service was held there at
4 p. M Tuesday.
