Pine Lake
East Jordan HarbOr Claims An
other Victim,

Floyd Duran was drowned just off
West Side dock while bathing Thurs
day afternoon, The young man was
convalescing from siege of typhoid
fever and still quite weak He had
just eaten quantity of ice cream and
probably did not realize the risk he
was running in going in bathing. After
putting on bathing suit he dropped off
the dock and evidently WAS taken with
cramps as he did not come up again. A
number of children were bathing near
by but they thought the young man
had merely swan under water
and come up somewhere out of
their sight, Nearly fifteen minutes
elapsed before any alarm was given.
The body was readily discovered at the
bottom of the lake and physicians sum-
moned, but it had been in the water
too long.
The young man was aged about
twenty-one years and was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Duran of the West
Side. He had been i'll for some time
with typhoid fever and was still under
physicians care.
Deceased was sawyer by trade.
He leaves besides his parents, seven
sisters and two brothers.
Funeral services will be held next
Sunday afternoon at 300 o'clock from
the Methodist Episcopal Church, con-
Quoted by the pastal Rev. Bennett.
