tomobile. The men who were drowned
were Clarence Emerson, Walter Davis
and Edgar Huckins.
The men accompanied Whitcher to a
farmhouse early yesterday morning to
spend the day pressing hay. The ice
on Bow lake looked firm and hard, and
SO the party motored across the lake
for a short cut. After the days work
was done the four men started on their
return journey. Apparently the ice had
melted somewhat during the day, but
it still appeared solid enough to bear
the automobile and Whiteher started
driving the machine back across the
lake.
When at the deepest part of the lake
the ice suddenly began TO crack and
the automobile was sthrown into the
iee-eold water. Tic three men with
Whitcher were drowned, but Whitcher
clung to the ear, which did not sink
and was rescued some time later when
his cries for help were heard.
The drowned men were all middle
aged. Huckins leaves family and En-.
erson is survived by his mother. 1t is
feared that it win be impossible TO re.
cover the bodies as the wafer at the
place where they were drowned is sc
deep.
