sary it could have been found last

motion. The following eight Tender
feet were promoted: Bailey, Brown,
Bucknam, French, Friend. Jacobs, Tay-
lor and Thomson. If the Second Class

and act as ushers. They will be
dressed in uniform The Scouts are
sparing no pains to provide an eX-
cellent meat and salad supper and a
musical evening of the first rank.
Mrs. Flanders of Athens, Mr.. Leighton
and others from town will sing. There
will be selections on the new organ,
selections by the Mandolin Club, and

DEAD BODY FOUND
On ICE
Henry Arsenault Was
Frozen to Death
Body was First FOHnd by Octave
Clare Who Notified the Authorities
Apparently Got Bewildered.

The body of Henry Arsenault whose
home was in lockwood and who was
employed in the lumber camps as a
cook, was discovered, Monday morn
ing on the ice of Brassau Lake. His
age was 10 years, and he had ap-
parently gotten bewildered in the
early morning and fell into the snow
freezing to death.
The young man had been at the
home of his parents. Mr.. and Mrs Gil
bert Arsenault in lockwood, Sunday,
for a visit, and in order to get back
to his work as cook in a lumber camp
some distance away. he arose and left
home at about | O'Clock a. m, Mon

time finally succumbing to cold,
doubtlessly, he fell in the snow and
was found face downward with no
signs OF any disturbance near the
body.
The figure of man in the snow
was first seen at about 7.30 Monday
morning by Octave Glare. who notified
Sheriff Walter Maynard of lockwood.
This official was busy on another case,
so il was some little time before he
arrived on the scene of the fatality.

W. S. Stinchfield of this town. was in
formed of the death and left for Rock
wood, Tuesday forenoon. Upon eX-
animation they found no evidence of
foul play. and it was decided death
was due to cold and exposure, the
young man having literally frozen to
death. Arsenault's body was found
about seven miles from lockwood.
The case is a sad one as the un-
fortunate young man had borne an
excellent reputation in the community
where he lived and much sympathy is
extended to the bereayed parents in
their aflliction.
