Grand Forks Men Rescued.

F Two young men from Grand Forks
said to be Tom Corrigan and Clarence
Wolf, were rescued from behind a
log boom yesterday afternoon by men
from the Viking Boat company. The
Grand Forks boys were out in a row

the men attracted much attention
and for a time the shore was lined
with people waiting for the return OF
the rescuing expedition. ~
