Two young fishermen. John and
James Chandler, who had spent years
around the Mississippi river, were car
ried to their death about 9 o'clock
Friday night when their boat was suck
ed under in an instant by the swirling
waters OF the Mississippi. 1t is be-
lieved that James, the elder OF the
two brothers, did not rise after he was
carried down, but John was carried
two hundred yards before his strength
gave out in his fight for life.
The fatal accident happened in the
pocket formed by the east wall of the
lock and the south wall of the power
house extension where the water
which operates the small turbine
which furnishes power for the lock
PUSHES into the lower river. The
drowning was witnessed by two OF
three men who were powerless to res

Were Out FISHING.

Accompanied by two friends the
Chandler brothers had gone up around
the dam to fish. They tied their mo-
tor boat to an eye-bolt in the uncom-

east side and got upon the wall. The
motion of the water caused the rope
to rub up and down the sharp edge
of the cement and the rope was cut in.

and drew it up to some false work.
