Daughter of North Redwood POstmas-
ter Overcome By Water
Friday Afternoon
Sidney Able and Leonard Sampson
Show Wonderful Courage and
Presence of Mind
Parents and Friends HeartbrOken Ov-
er Tragedy That Takes Away
General FavOrite

Miss Irma Shoemaker, daughter of
Herman Shoemaker of North Red
wood, was drowned last Friday after
noon, in the river at North Redwood.
Miss Shoemaker, with her STEP
sister, Miss Eva Henzie, was bathing
in the stream just above the dam, at
the time the accident occurred.
In some way they both got out be-
yond their depth and when first seen
from the shore, were making a des-
perate effort to get back to shallow
water.
Sidney Able and Leonard Samp-
son saw the struggle the girls were
making, and went to the rescue. They
managed to get Miss Henze to the
bank, but by that time Miss Shoe
maker had gone down and did not
again come to the surface of the wa
ter. a.
The boys did splendid rescue work,
and showed presence of mind unusual
in boys so young. Had it not been
for their quick work and the great
courage with which they put aside all
thought of personal safety in their
efforts to save the girls, Miss Hence
would undoubtedly have shared the
fate of her sister.
The funeral service was conducted
from the home at two o'clock yester-
day. 1t was held in the open air and
nearly four hundred sorrowing friends
met to show their love for the dead
girl and their sympathy with her par
ents' grief.
Rev. Heilscher read the burial SER
vices, and interment was made in the
Redwood Falls cemetery. The for
al offerings were very numerous and
beautiful fitting tribute to the
place Miss Shoemaker held in the
hearts of her friends and relatives.
Irma Louise Shoemaker was born
July "a, 1895 at North Redwood, where
she has spent her entire life. She
finished the grade school at North
Redwood in 1910 and since then has
been student in the Redwood Falls
High School, from which she would
have been graduated next June. She
was a general favorite with both
teachers and pupils.
Miss Shoemaker's mother preceded
her to the Great Beyond about four
years ago after long and lingering
illness. Nearly two years ago new
mother, two brothers and a sister en-
tered her home. Since then she and
her stsp-sister have been inseparable
Miss Shoemaker is survived by her
parents, her sister, her brothers Ralph
Shoemaker, and Roy and Norman Hen
re. She is also greatly mourned by
her aged grandmother and many 9TH
er relatives.
To all of these, and all whose lives
came in daily contact with Miss Shoe
maker The Gazette joins the hosts of
friends in expressing sincerest SYM
patty.

REEVES CHOSEN HEAD
 OF CORRESPONDENTS

A H Reeves. the Phoenix theatrical nagnate was appointed supcrintend- ent of concessions at the state fair yesterday. This is the first time that an appointment of this kind has been made. as heretofore Secretary Wood has had to handle this end of the business besides attending to his cler- ical duties.
 MT. Reeves duties will involve the booking of the best amusement at fractions that can be found in the country and his many years eX- pcrience will enable him to accom- pIIsh this in a manner that will please all who attend the fair With out a doubt Reeves is the right man iG the right place, and the fair of 1913 will owe most of it's success in the amusement department to his en- deavors.
 The commissioners yesterday met a committee from the board of trade, headed by President John Dennett, who came bearing the assurance of the co-operation of the business men of the city in making the fair q success. and one that will long be remembered
 I J Keegan, one of the cOmmis- sioners of the fair, was unable to be present, but Hugh Campbell and J. R. Henderson with Secretary Wood managed to worry through the mass of business that came before the meeting Messrs. Campbell and Hen derson left for their homes immedi- ately after the meeting.

CONVINCED HE WAS DEAD.

Two Irishmen, both members of the building fraternity, were busily en- gagged recently in affixing slates to the roof of a newly erected house, when suddenly a horrid mishap occurred.
 Murphy slipped. In vain he sought for something at which to clutch in order to save himself from falling. His hands grasped nothing but empty air. and by their frantic exertions caused Murphy completely to lose his foot hold
 So Murphy fell. Mike saw him fall, and presently. after what seemed to him hours of hideous suspense, heard his friends body strike the ground with

 FearfuIly Mike leaned over the edge of the roof.
 Are yez dead Murphy?' he called, in apprehensive tones.
 "Oh, Ofm aloive all right" gasped Murphy feebly.
 Mike gazed at the prostrate body WonderingIy:
 Sure, I don't know whether to be- lieve you or not" he remarked. You always was a liar,"
 Painfully Murphy raised himself on one elbow.
 Then OTm dead!' he walled. You'd never dare call me a liar were I aloive!" Exchange.

BREAK CAMP TUESDAY
Winnepe's Seventy-six Boys
Finish Eight Weeks Vaca-
ton on Catfish Lake and
Are in Excellent Physical
Condition Minstrel Shows
Friday and Saturday.

Camp Winnepe's seventv-six
boys after eight weeks of frolic
and pastimes of both mental and
physical benefits, will break
camp on Catfish lake next Tues
dav.
Under the guidance of Messrs
Kelley and Marriott and an able
corps of councillors, the boys
have accumulated an abundance
of health as is shown by their
rudy cheeks and sunburned
bodies. The rudy cheeks are
there all right, but it's to be dug
from beheath a heavy coat Of
tan
This years bunch of boys
bounded on the small end by
little Edmund Hirsch of Memphis
and on the wide part by big Billy
Ortwin of ST. Louis, are of a class
that has appealed to the public
gentlemen all, without an ex-
ception, and Camp Winnepe's in
structors are to be commended
Many of the boys have been in
camp for the past thee years, at
least a third of them, and their
rapid growth into strong limbed
men is easily seen.
Tennis, swimming and base
ball contests in which they have
competed with outside teams
have placed them on splendid
foundation for square dealing
and clean work.
The camps annual minstrel
performances will be produced
this week: Friday evening at
The Hcmlock resort, and Satur-
day evening at the opera house.
Both performances begin at SIS
and close with a dance. Slhler
is the big smoke in charge.

A BIG FAMILY REUNION
Oberholtzers Numbering Five
Hundred to Hold ConcIave
at Old Homestead Near
Fort Wayne, Indiana.

A family reunion of some mag
nitude is being held this week at
Grablll, near Fort Wayne, Indi-
ana, by the Oberholtzer family.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Oberholtzer
of Eagle River are among the
half thousand relatives present.
About four years ago Mr..
Oberholtzer attended a like re-
union of bis clan in Indiana and,
the same as he will do at this
time, visited the various points
of interest of his youth which he
still remembers. One place he
assuredly will view is the old
canal at Fort Wayne where a
horse thief was captured. In
lndiasa's early days horse steal
ing was carried on to such an
extent that company of vigil
lants was organized to break up
this nefarious business. Mr..
Oberholtzer and the writer's
father and uncles were members
OF the company which put to
water" iii the old canal. one
thief who very nearly drowned
before he would~submit to cap
ture.
At any big occasion held in
the Hoosier state the main event
is an OK roast-and they sure
know how to deliver it brown
land juicy. The Oberholtzers, on
account of the monster bunch of
relatives, will roast two oxen.
The reunion and feast will be
held at the old homestead at
Grabill.
Yesterday the News received a
postcard from Overholtzer at
Harlan, Ind, which reads: "Too
hot for me here"
