er. two men and three women were
drowned. early Saturday, when the
automobile in which they were riding
ran on the ice covering, an artificial
stream OF water used by paper
plant outside this city
The men We're Donald Reed. and
Chester A. Nancleef an automobile
salesman.
Frederick NJ. Foster. a third young
man in the party, who was running
the automobile, escaped drowning, but
is suffering from exposure. Foster
managed to escape from the machine
after it had broken through the ice
and ran nearly a mile to secure help.
The accident happened at a point
where there is "A sharp bend in
road. and it is believed that Foster
had become numb from the cold and
was unable to control the steering
wheel. as he was familiar with the
road.
Coroner Bower went to the scene
OF the accident, Saturday morning, to
recover the bodies. Two of the girls
bodies were soon gotten out and
were Margaret Lindal and Helen Null
vey The third is believed to nave
been Hanna Hazen.
Foster, who is at a road house about
a mile from the scene of the accident,
refused to give the names of the women
1t is believed that they had been invited
10 take ride as far as Washington's
Crossing, New Jersey, a distance of six
or seven miles.
When Foster escaped from the automo-
bile he went to the road house and
knocked on the door, When admitted
he was coated with ice and is now in a
critical condition. Il is feared pneumo-
mia may set in.
4 visit to the scene of the accident
shows that the automobile instead of
taking the sharp bYad i'll the road
ploughed straight forward and plunged
into the water. The top was up and the
curtains We're buttoned to keep out the
cold, and this, it is believed. prevented
the riders from making their escape.
Among those who reached the scene
early was Harry Baker. long employed
as chauffeur at the home of Justice
Reed When it became apparent that
young Reeds body was caught in the
submerged machine the chauffeur volun-
teered to strip and try to dislodge it. He
was warned that such an attempt might
cost him his life, but notwithstanding he
took off his outer garments and, with
the mercury below zero, plunged into the
water. Several times he dived into the
water and finally brought the body to the
surface.
