Last Weeks Receipts.
Receipts for last week were: Cat

sheep, 2749. The market is steady.
Bulk light steers sold at $7.75 to $8.
The demand for dehorned heifers and
COWS was heavy. The hog market was
a shade weaker the first half Of the
week, but partially recovered before
the close. There is good supply of
hogs at country points, but owing to
the scarcity of feed growers are not
getting their stock ready for market
as easily as usual. There was little
change in the sheep market during
the week. The absence of select
quality prevented a satisfactory guage
of the market.

DOUBLE DROWNING
James o Brien and His Sister, Anna,
Lost Lives in Lake St. Catherine.

A double drowning occurred at Lake
st. Catherine Monday evening about
s o o'clock, when James o 'Brien and his
sister, Anna, both of Troy, N. Y, were
the victims.
They were in a row boat about 81
feet from shore and it is supposed that
when they were putting over an anchor
the boat, which was of the keel type
with which they were not familiar, cap
sized. They screamed, but in the vie
Unity there were others yelling and
laughing, and it was not thought that
the screams indicated danger. 1t was
fully 90 minutes before Bert Nichols
and Bernie Wooddcll, both of Granville
N. Y, went to the rescue and recover
ed the bodies in eight feet of water
Life was extinct and all efforts tc
resuscitate them failed.
The accident happened in what is
known as Atwater s Bay, about midway
on the west side of the lake. The vie
Tins were brother and sister of Mrs
Herbert Beecher of Granville.
James o 'Brien was 35 years of age
and leaves his wife and son, age 10. His
sister, Anna, was unmarried and about
40 years of age. They were staying at
the camp of Mrs. Gertrude Beecher
Hall, a sister of Herbert Beecher. The
bodies were taken to Troy Tuesday.
