CANOE CHAMPION DIES
ATTEMPTING A NEW FEAT

Aurora Ill. July S.-Peter Lech was
drowned in sight OF 1000 people who
gathered on the banks of the Fox river
and on the York street and Fox street
bridges here yesterday afternoon to
see him and John Daneau try to shoot
the dam between the two bridges in
a canoe. The accident happened be-
fore the pair was ready to get into the
canoe. Lech and Daneau started out
in bathing suits from a boathouse 100
yards above the dam, wading through
the shallow water. One at each end,
they guided the canoe through the shall
low water near the shore, intending TO
get into it when they reached a good
depth. Lech stepped into "suckhole"
and disappeared. His body was not
recovered for several hours.

And then followed his meager assent,
with the old tireless appeal to the
woman's heart in Nancy.
Despite her cleverness and fear
lessness the life OF a city reporter
was harder than Nancy had imag-
ined. She found the curt orders
quite different from the easy-going
suggestions of the editor at home.
Her stories must be CLEANED from
haunts, the misery and pitifulness Of

And the short, plain, dark, sensible
walking skirts were not nearly as
comfortable as her fresh white dimi-
ties had been.

DEATH OF MRS. LOTT|E PAYNE


With sorrowful heart, chronicle
the death of Mrs. Lottie Payne, OF
Aunt Lottie," as she is lovingly
called by all who knew her. She was
born in Illinois in 1S4S. She united
with the Primitive Baptist church in
the days of her girlhood, and as a
consistent member from her youth up,
she lived consecrated and useful
Christian life. In 1881 she was mar
ried to Alva Payne. They were
blessed with one son, who preceded
his mother by few years across the
dark River of Death. But even as the
skies are darkest just before dawn,
so the sorrow of death precedes the
joyful meeting of son and mother in
a land of light where all is peace.
Aunt Lottie" would have been
seventy next august. She had been
in bad health for some time and her
last suffering was quietly ended on
September 16. She was laid to rest
at the House cemetery, Elder Hollo-
man conducting the services.
To her aged and lonely companion,
who now has nothing but memories
of other days and trust for the future
to comfort him, we extend our heart
felt sympathies.
A Friend.
