1900 bushels were harvested These
were sold to Darlington people for

mately $500 for contribution to the

THREE SWEPT TO DEATH
IN NIAGARA WHIRLPOOL
Huge Ice Bridge Breaks and
Carries Victims Down River
To Tragic Fate

NIAGARA FALLS. n. Y, Feb. s.
Little hope was expressed today that
the bodies OF Eldridge stanton and
his wife. OF Toronto, and Bafreii
Heacock. OF Cleveland. who persisted
yesterday when the ice gorge under
Niagara Falls broke, will ever be re-
covered. Old-ume river men believe
the bodies have been ground TO bits
between the great foes OF ice which
were pitched and tossed through the
maelstrom OF the Whirlpool Rapids.
Thegreat ice bridge that has clicked
the river channel between the catar-
act and the upper steel arch bridge
below the falls for the last three
weeks. broke from its snoring just at
noon yesterday, and went down the
river
-Four other persons we're onthe Ice
at the time. but managed 10 get
ashore In safety
The bridge was considered perfectly
safe. For weeks the great fields OF
ice had been coming down the river,
piling up against the barrier. until II
was from 90 10 so feet thick and with
zero weather the great mass had be-
come firmly anchored TO the shore.
The Jam was about 1000 feet long
and in some places n quarter OF a
mile in breadth. For two weeks II
had offered safe passage 70 the hardy
and today an immense crowd OF ex-
cursionists came 10 view the wonder
OF the river. Had the accident hap
pened an hour later in the day hun
dreds would have lost their lives. for
the crowd was moving into Prospect
park In the elevators that run down
the cliff for the purpose OF venturing
out upon the ice.
Somewhere deep in the great whirl-
pool sleeps the man, partially identi-
fed as Mr.. Stanton, who twice put
aside chances of rescue 10 remain
