Mr.. LUCIEN FONTENOT
ILL.FATED VICTIM OF
SCHELL CANAL
Us Drowned While Swimming
With Party of Comrades
Near the Pumping Sta.
tiOn of the Canal.

The Schell Canal was the
tragic scene of a very lamentable
incident Monday evening at
about s o'clock, when Mr.. Lu-
Glen Fontenot, who was in swim
ming with a party of his COM
rades, became suddenly cramped
some distance from the bank and
was drowned.
It seems that a party left here
early Monday evening to go
swimming in the canal. Upon
reaching the canal, the party
separated, and two of the number,
Messrs. Robertson Lacombe and
Theo. Lewis, set out to swim the
canal, a distance of about $50
feet in width and in depth rang
ing from fifteen to thirty feet.
After they had gone most of the
way, Mr.. Fontenot decided that
he would, also, attempt the feat,
and started after them. He
progressed very we'll until on
nearing the opposite bank, he
was seized with a severe cramp,
and commenced to drown. His
companions, who had gone be-
fore him, had by this time
landed, and looking back they
saw Mr.. Fontenot's peril. They
Immediately went to him and
attempted to save him, exerting
most heroic efforts to drag him
to shore. They struggled with
him for some time, and were
dragged under the water twice,
when, finally, Mr.. Fontenot re-
leased his hold on them, and
sank to the bottom. So exhaust
ed had the men become n at
tempting TO rescue their friend,
that when they started for bank,
they had barely enough strength
left to save themselves.
Divers at once began searching
for the body, and it was not UNI
til the lapse of about 45 minutes
that it was brought up by Mr..
Noise Lafeur, o Washington.
The party from Opelousas re-
turned with the body that night.
The remains of the deceased
were inferred in the Catholic
cemetery Tuesday evening with
military honors. Mr.. Fontenot
was a Sergeant of Co. C, and
was highly esteemed by the
entire company, and they deeply
regret his untimely end. When
the concourse reached the grave,
his comrades fired a salute over
his remains. Taps" were
sounded and he was left to eter-
nal rest and peace.
The following resolutions were
passed by Company C:
Whereas, it has pleased
Almighty God, in his infinite
wisdom, to remove from our
midst our Beloved Comrade, Lu-
Glen Fontenot;
BE it resolved, that we are
deeply grieved at his sudden and
untimely death, and that we
recognize in him a true friend
and a gallant soldier.
BE it further resolved, that
we express to his family our
deepest synpathies and con-
dolences in this sad hour of their
bereavement.
Resolved, that we express to
Messrs. Len. Todd, Willie Carrier,
Lee Carrier, Eddie Powell and
Noise Laf1eur, our greatest ap-
probation for their valuable aid
in recovering the body
Of our beloved Comrade, Lucien
Fontenot.
