Quite a large crowd attended the baseball game played on the local diamond last Sunday under the aus pices of the Boy Scouts for the bene- fit of the Y. M. c. A.

KETTLE RIVER CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM

Sandstone Courier, May IT,
Matt, the 1O-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Johnson, who live
east of the river, was drowned in
the river here shortly after noon
today. During the school noon
hour several of the boys were
playing around the upper dam
when Matt stepped on a slippery
place and slid into the river. Aid
was secured at once, but it took
nearly an hour before the body
was recovered. DR.. Boiling, with
plenty of assistance, tried for a
long time to revive him, but
failed. This young life might
have been saved with a pulmotor
but there is none nearer than
Duluth. Many places have a
community pulmotor, and we
suggest that a movement be
started at once to secure one
here, as the river has the repu-
tation of claiming one life each
year.
