THREE MEN DROWNED
IN WILLOUGHBY LAKE
Boat Probably Capsized During a
High Wind Yesterday-No
One Saw the Accident.

ORLEANS, Vt, August 20.-Three
young men are believed to have lost
their lives in Willoughby lake, West
more, when their boat capsized yester
day. They were: Dana Trip, p, Of Or
leans; Monte Tripp, 23, of Orleans;
Clayton Badger, 25, Of Harrison. No
one could be found who saw the acci-
dent. The first known about it was
when Prof. A. T. Hawkes. Of Columbia
university, who was rowing across the
lake, saw three caps floating on the
water. These were identified as belong
ing to the three young men who had
gone out sailing. No trace of their
bodies or of the boat could be found
and the officials who investigated say
there is no doubt that the party were
drowned in 25O feet of water.
Badger was employed in Worecter
and Dana Trip worked in Haverhill.
Both were on a vacation and with
Monte Tripp, who was employed at a
a grocery store at Orleans, had gone to
Willoughby lake for week. The wind
on the lake was strong yesterday morn
ing, and ii is believed that sudden
squaIl burst down from the hills and
blew over the boat, which quickly sank,
carrying down the young men before
they could get clear.

EAST ROCHESTER,, \. IT,. August
90 ~ City Marshal John Young stood
guard today over the big black automo-
bile that probably brought Thaw and
his companion into the state on Mon
day. He will detain anyone who calls
for the car. There is but little doubt
that the men who left the automobile
with John Rankin were Thaw and one
of the men who helped him to escape.
It is believed that the men took the

could easily have connected with the
