and Assumption parishes, departed
Monday for Camp Taylor, Ky, to en-
ter the training school for army chap

Faribault, Minn.-A most tragic &C.
cident occurred at Lake Mazaska,
near Shieldsvifle, on Sunday, August
II, when two fifteen-year-old boys of
the vicinity were drowned in Lake
Mazaska. Just how the accident &C.
Cured cannot be explained, as they
were alone, and quite distance from
the shore. Ralph Mahoney could not
swim and it is thought perhaps he
may have been in the water around
the boat and became affected with
cramps, and that perhaps his COM

pulled out of the boat. Another as
sumption is that perhaps Hugh Nc
Fadden was taken with cramps, and
that Mahoney, who was sitting in the
boat, tried to help him. The bodies
were found about fifty feet apart in
fifteen feet Of water. The funeral
! was held the following Tuesday morn
ing from st. Patrick's church, Shields
