THE BOYS OF THE "a.

Out in the deep blue sea they roam,
Far from the haunts Of their once
loved homes
They, who will be back no more,
The boys Of the "a.
No more these men will be seen in
smiles,
On the mild Pacific, near our sunny
isles;
They'll be back no more as in the days
Of yore:
The brave men Of the "a.
Perchanee they may be found some
day
And they'll tell their tales Of the ocean
gray;
On the other hand they may all be
dead
With the sea as coverIet over their
heads.
What if the sea would restore their
lives,
And bring them home to their lament
ing wives
WouIont they De as happy as before,
The crew of the "a?
These men who were stout-hearted,
sktIfuI and brave,
When they allowed the sea their boat.
sides to lave,
Little did they think that the peril was
near
And that an occasion would approach
that was drear.
May the fame Of heroes as brave as
Be spread worldwide by the ocean
breeze
And their names be remembered for
years, many a score,
Those men who are buried in the Sub

TO THE CREW OF THE "A.


There's many heart that is aching
tonight
For you, the poor lads Of "A;
And our one constant thought since
you went out Of sight
Is how can we tow you to. shore?
How we've sounded and diVed; how
we've dragged;
Yea we've watched and we've waited
even prayed.
Not for an instant have we ever Jagged
In our efforts that you might be saved
But your poor craft lies buried
Some three hundred feet or more
OF the Pacific lies between US
And you on her treacherous floor.
Wives there be and sWeethearts,
! friends galore would have come
to you.
An! If only mother ocean had proved
herself so true
And cast you up from out her depths
Upon her surface blue.
But since fate in her strange judy
nent
DEGREES you for this world nevermore,
Here's God bless you and Aloha!
Noble crew Of the F..
And though submarine thy tomb
Meath some coraI-reef far away,
Yours is a glorious monument
To our beloved v. S. A.

FIRST GAME OF SEASON
TOMORROW NIGHT

Tomorrow evening, at the high
school gymnasium, the high school bas-
'ketball quint will wage the first bat
tie of the season, with the alumni

shape for basketball, the floor having
been shaved smooth and oiled and the
foul lines marked out plainly.
Coach Liljedahl believes that the
high quint will do some fine work this
season and is putting in all his efforts
to turn out winning team. He has
not definitely decided on the lineup
for tomorrow night but has given out
the following tentative lineup:
Center-Stewart Sims.
Forwards-Longley and Levin.
Guards-Belanger and Graham.
Substitutes-At center, Leo Grimes;
:at forward, Harry Dobbyn; at guard,
Norman Elvig and Henry Sutliff. \
few others will also be in uniform il
case they should be needed.
For next Thursday the high team
has the Red Wing FIVE scheduled. This
is the same team as won the state
high school championship last year,
ami who are travelling independently
this year. They are going to Bemidjl
from here.

SKATER IS DROWNED N LAKE
LEO WER0dER6KIROHEN Met HIS
DEATH IN PIERZ FISH LAKE,
GIRL HAS NARROW ESCAPE

The hrSt fatahty In THIS county Tor
many years as the result of skating
occurred Sunday afternoon at about
$3.50 when Leo Wermerskirchen, aged
%, son of NJ. Wermerskirchen Of Pierz,
was drowned in Pierz Fish Lake. Miss
Crescence Faust, who was riding on
a sled which he was pushing, fell into
the water but was rescued by other
skaters and was resuscitated.
According to people who examined
the hole in the ice, someone had cut
an opening in it previous to Sunday
for the purpose of fishing or something
Of the kind and that in this place the
ice was very thin, whereas otherwise
the ice on the lake was considered safe.
When Wermerskirchen and Miss Faust
were precipitated into the water A.
Rauch, the young son Of n. Rauch of
Pierz, heard the screams of Miss Faust
and he started for the scene, as did
Frank Faust, brother of Miss Fanst
The first named accidentally slipped
into the opening and the latter jumpel
in to save his sister. None of them
were able to get out, however until
Sullivan lake resident, who happen
ed to be on the lake at the time, sug-
gested forming human chain. This
was done and all we're rescued except
Wermerskirchen, who had sunk before
they arrived, and who they did not
miss.
Miss Faust was unconscious when
taken from the water and was imme-
diately hurried to Pierz, and recovered
consciousness in short time. The
first think she asked was as to the
whereabouts Of Mr.. Wermerskirchen
and this led to a search for him, his
body being found in about seven feet
Of water in the lake about two hours
after the accident happened, which
was about $3.50 p. m. 1t was dark
when the accident accurred. All eff
forts to revive him were futile.
The coat which Miss Faust woe
probably saved her life as it held her
body up in the water after she became
unconscious. Again when her brother
Frank was pulled from the water his
skate caught in her coat and she waS
pulled out with him.
Leo Wermerskirchen was one of the
most popular young men in Pierz. He
was pitcher on the Pierz baseball
team and was a leader in athletics
there. He was also well known in Lit
tie Falls, having played baseball with
the Pierz team here several times and
also played on the local team on one
or two occasions. 49,
Deceased is survived by his parents
and sister.
The funeral was held from ST. Jo-
seph's Catholic church at Pierz last
Wednesday morning at 10. o'clock,
Rev. steigler officiating: Interment
was In the church eemetery.T -
The funeral was onee. lssestt
ever held in Pierz. :, People from this
city and from :Royalton and other vii
lagos in this county were in attend
ance.% The Pierz band marched in. the
funeral procession, with mufAed
drums.
