CLAYTON MOVES
browns WHILE
TRYING TO SWIM
Waterville Youth with Compan-
ion in Bathing in the Mesa.
lonskee Seized with Cramp
and Sinks Quickly-Body Is
Recovered

Waterville, Me, July 6.-(SpeciaD.
Clayton Noyes, aged about IS years,
vas drowned Thursday afternoon at
about o'clock while swimming near
the railroad bridge over the Mes
salonskee. Noyes in company with Ray
Getcheu went to the stream during the
afternoon for swim and had been in
the water but short time when he
was apparently taken with a cramp
and sank quickly. Young Getchell made
a desperate effort to save his compan-
ion but he was too light to save the
larger boy and Noyes sank for the
third time, after making a desperate
effort to save himself.
The police were notified Immediately
and Officer Sturtevant with grapples
was quickly on the scene. He was as
sisted by a number Of men and the
stream was thoroughly dragged, it re-
sulting in the body being found at
about o'clock by Charles Roderick
and Fred Burgess.
The two boys worked at the Elm
wood, Noyes, whose father, E. F.
Noyes, is the chef at the hotel, being
employed in the kitchen and Getchell
IN the linen room. They left the hotel
about o'clock for a swim and al
though they knew the treacherous ma :
ture Of the Messalonskee went to the
railroad bridge as they were both gooa
swimmers
They had been in the water but a shor,
time when the Noyes boy threw I'D his
hands and shouted to his friend Getchell
swan to him and tried to pull him toward
the shore, but Noyes seized him about
the arms and he had hard work to re,
away himself. He made another effort
to get the drowning boy and got him by
the hair; but the body slipped from his
grasp and went down. Charles Roderick
was just coming near the bridge and he
was quickly on the scene, and the place
where the Noyes boy went down for the
last time was quickly located and the
grapples were secured. The body had
shifted somewhat toward the center OF
the stream and this accounted for the
time it took to locate It,
AS soon as the body was found DR.. E
p Fish. the medical examiner. was 10.
Gated and ordered it removed to Reding-
ton & Co.'S. undertaking rooms.
Mr.. and Mrs Noyes were at their farm
in Mt Vernon for a few days and they
were notified by telephone and arrived in
the city on the 7.45 train, just after the
body had been taken to the undertaking
rooms.
The drowned boy was native Of Mt
Vernon and had been in this city but a
short time, being employed at the Elm
wood.
The funeral arrangements had not beer
made Thursday night, but 1t is probable
that the body will be taken to his home

ture. which has box pews with doors. the
choir seats upstairs at the rear OF the
church and with little railing IN front
of them, the old-fashioned high pulpit and
behind that an ancient couch for the min
lister to sit upon-all these were viewed
with generation and profound interest.

lunch was enjoyed beneath the trees and
following this trip was made to the
old burying ground at the foot Of Monks
hill This ground is rich in relics Of the
olden days. The stones over the graves
Of the Monk family are of slate and bear
upon them the face Of an Indian. The Ia

FOR SEPTEMBER Term
Of Superior Court on Charge of
Liquor Nuisance-Alvin and
Lewis Howard Pay Costs on
Drunkenness Charge and Lew
is Is Put under Bonds to Keep
the Peace - Master Arthur
Bradford Once More in Court

Judge Lancaster had a busy time
Thursday at the municipal court, not
withstanding the fact that the police
station that morning was unoccupied,
and several cases were heard during
the day. 1t could not be called dollar
day" a the court for the minimum in
fines was much higher than that fig
ure.
The first case called in the morning
was that of Wallace Cormier, who was
arraigned on complaint of Deputy
Sheriff Henry Emery of Manchester
to answer to the charge of maintaining
liquor nuisance. Cormier was repre-
sented by Hon. Frank L. Dutton and
by advice of his counsel waived a read
ing OF the warrant and pleaded not
guilty. The court however, found
probable cause to hold the respondent
in the sum Of $700 for appearance at
the September term Of the superior
court for Kennebec county.
The next case heard was that Of AL
vim w. and Lewis A. Howard Of Man.
chester, who had ben arrested by Dep
uty Sheriff Emery on complaint of
Henry A. Wiley Of Farmingdale, the
warrant charging them with drunken
ness. The prisoners were represented
by Melvin II. Simmons and pleaded
nolo. AT the conclusion of the hearing
both prisoners were ordered to pay
costs, and Lewis A. Howard was or
dered to furnish bonds in the sum Of
500 to keep the peace for one year.
Arthur Bradford, the Nobleboro young
ster who created a little ripple of excite
ment in at least one household in Benton
week ago today by going. late in the
afternoon, after COW and failing to re-
turn. showed up again in Augusta
Wednesday by request. According to the
boys story of his wanderings since his
disappearance in the Benton pasture,
which was not, however, given a great
amount of credence by the court, he pass
ed Friday night at house within a mile
OF the house where lived the owner of the
COW which he had gone after. Here he
staid two days, but at the end of that
time the spirit of restlessness seized him
once more and he ''hit the dirt" going
as far as Winsow. This town, however.
did not appeal to him. for he jumped out
of a window during the night and started
back for Benton, where he arrived last
Tuesday. After his arrival the Augusta
authorities were notified and the boy was
brought to this city. Judge Lancaster
had an interview with the youngster soon
after his arrival but failed to find any
Improvement in the aggravated case of
impediment in veracity by which he is
affected. The boy has passed the time
since his arrival partly in the care of w.
C. Halves and partly at the police sta
ton, and arrangements were made Thurs
day afternoon for him to be committed
this morning to the State School for
Boys at South Portland.
