er. which the party was aboard, was
captized in a wind storm.

proceeded to point about four
miles above this city and was near
mid-stream when the storm broke
with but little warning.
Before the craft could be made

boat.

SUNDAY DROWNING
FATALITIES ARE
NUMEROUS
Two Small Boys Went Over
Niagara Falls
ONE DEATH Ar MIDDLEBURY
William Holt Drowned While Trying
to Save the Life Of a Man
Overheard.

NldSdTd dis, June Zo.-Douhlu
both of Buffalo, went to their death
in small boat late yesterday af
ternoon in the whirlpool rapids at
of men watched helpless from the
shore. The boys had been playing
in a flattottom scow near the lower
station OF the Hydraulic power com.
pany half mile above the rapids.
The rope holding the boat broke and
they were carried out into the
stream and down the river.
Up to the time the boat reached
midstream il made little progress.
After it passed the bridges tie cur
rent carried it swiftly toward the
rapids. The bridgemen did not sec
the boat until 1t was close at hand.
When they caught sight of it they
called fire headquarters and Assist
ant Chief Miller sent out two COM
panies of firemen. Hundreds swarm
ed to the river banks in vain effort
to save the boys. The boys, realiz-
ing their fate, stood up as the boat
neared the edge of the roaring whirl-
pool and shook hands good-by A
second later they were engulfed by
the crest of a great wave in the
rapids. The boat shot out of sight.
One OF the boys was seen a moment
later struggling in the rushing
waters. Neither body has been
found.
Mlddlebury, June 23.-William
Holt, 36 years old, a painter, was
drowned early last evening in Otter
Creek while attempting to. save a
companion who had fallen from a
boat. The accident happened about
1880 o'clock and the body was recov-
cred about 1890.
Mr. Holt. in company with Harry
Warner, William Allen. A. B. God
dard and w. b. Smith, was return.
ing from trip up the creek and the
gasoline launch in which the party
made the trip, was nearing the boat
house near the Lyman ice houses in
this village. Smith attempted to re-
move flag and staff from the boat
before the craft entered the boat
house and in so doing fell into the
water. Holt, who was supposed to
be a good swimmer, plunged over
the side of the boat to assist Smith.
Smith, however. came up near the
boat and his companions managed to
reach him and draw him into the
boat.
Holt took several strokes when he
suddenly went down and did not
come up. 1t is thought that he was
seized with cramp Searching
parties under the direction of Chief
of Police Frank Warren began i'm
mediately to drag the creek and
when the body was brought to the
surface the flag staff was found in
one of Hollis hands. Mr.. Holt was
a son of Mrs. Helen Holt OF Wash
ington street. He was unmarried.
