Gerald Dunn Loses Life Saturday
In Attempt To Swim From Row
boat to Shore, a Distance Of
About 200 Feet
ON OUTING WITH WIFE
In Company With MFR. and Mrs.
George Eastman-Decided to Go In
Swimming When About Third of
Way Across to the Large Island
Body Recovered Sunday.

Gerald Dunn of St. JohnsDury was
drowned at Joe's Pond Saturday morn
ing when he attempted to swim
ashore, a distance of 200 or 800 feet,
from the boat in which he and party
were out rowing.
Mr.. and Mrs Dunn went TO Je's
Pond early Saturday morning for a
days outing in company with Mr.. and
Mrs. George Eastman and about IL
o'clock the party hired a boat and
after rowing near the shore for a
few minutes the women who were
rowing headed the boat for the large
island. Whe nabout a third of the
distance across, Mr.. Dunn, who could
swim a little took off his clothing
with the exception of his union suit
and let himself over the side of the
boat into the water at the stern. He
held onto the back of the boat for
some distance, allowing himself to be
towed along. When about two hun
dred or more feet from shore Mr..
Dunn expressed his intention of try
ing to swim the remaining distance,
and let go his hold on the boat.
They went ahead of him for some dis
tance and he seemed to be swimming
along all right. When they heard
him call out they supposed he was
fooling, as he had been a time pre-
vious, so did not turn around. When
he disappeared under the surface
they started back as quickly as pos
sible, but he went under for the last
time before they reached him.
Men on the shore hurried to their
assistance but could not locate the
spot where he went down, near
enough to be of any help. Fred Bru-
nellie, who was working on a cottage
at the Island, was one of the first to
arrive. He dove for the body two or
three times but could not find IL.
Men from the cottages on the lake
shore put out in boats and with town
authorities grappled for the body un-
til late in the night. The body was
not found until o'clock Sunday aft
ernoon, when a brother of the drown
ed man and Mr.. Rock of Waterford
drew it to the surface on grapples.
The body when found was about 150
feet from the island and in about 81
feet of water. The remains were TAX
en- to Stanley's undertaking rooms
until further arrangements could be
made.
Mr.. Dunn resided in Fairbanks viii
lage, where he moved some time ago
from Portland street.

juries occurred Wednesday night
about p. m, just south of the brick

two nieces, Misses Jennie and Myrtle
Gadapee, were thrown clear of the

ated leg and was severely shaken,
while the others were uninjured ex-
cept for a few scratches.
The accident occurred as Mr.. Cad
apee and party were returning from
Lyndonville and were just south Of
the brickyard coming into st. Johns
bury.
Behind the Gadapee car were two
other machines and another automo-
bile was going north that Mr.. Gada-
pee was about to turn out for. The
driver OF the second machine in line
directly behind. saw what looked like
a good chance to go by the Gadapee
car but did not see the auto coming
until too late to fall back in line.

was caught under the frame of the

when little care would prevent?
If every employee in a large office
wastes but one sheet of paper daily,
and every guest burns hours of need
less light, the yearly cost is enor-
nous. If a hotel can save but a
cent room a day on soap. it means
a yearly saving of 81, 500 in hotel

IN WOMAV'S REALM


pies to little things. We too often
forget that dimes make dollars. And
as waste counts up fast, so savings
grow apace. If you were allowed
to go over the books of any savings
bank you would find hundreds of ac-
counts that show steady, systematic
saving. 1t may be but dollar or
two week, but in the long run it
mounts up. A certain young lawyer
in New York who was once pack
peddler made it a steady habit when
boy to save fifty cents weekly, and
he was as regular as the clock. It
was the beginning of successful
career. Another young man, about
to be married, saved Ave dollars q
week for two years out of salary of
fifteen dollars and never missed a
week.
The results OF such systematic
work will surprise even yourself
You know that fifty times two make
a hundred. but if you apply the prin-
ciple to a bank account, you are
bound to believe it. Little leaks can
sink ship as well as a great hole in
the bow, and do it with less con-
fusion Little savings can make you
rich as well as great strike The
reason so many people are poor is
simply because they cannot stop the
little leaks. They spend little sums
all the time, and in the multitude
of little spendings reach total that
proves disastrous Thrift in little
things will make you thrifty in big
ones; but you never can have the big
things unless you give heed to the
little ones. Watch yourself for a
few days and see how your money
