TWO BROTHERS
DROWN TOGETHER
Joe Lee and LAYTON Lee, 10 and
IA Years, Victims of Ten
nessee River Tragedy

Swimming Wednesday after
noon in the Tennessee river with
a party of companions, Joe and
Lawton Lee, sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. H. Lee, of this city, and aged
10 and IA years respectively.
were drowned when the elder
brother went to the rescue of the
younger. who was beyond his
depth, and in distress. The elder
boys bride of two weeks witness
ed the death of her young hus-
band; she is Frustrated as a re-
suit of the tragedy.
Following the tragedy, search
ing parties made up of relatives
and friends of the dead boys
spent Wednesday night dragging
the muddy depths of the Tonnes
see, and success rewarded their
efforts in the early hours of
Thursday morning; the body of
elder brother was found first,
about fifty feet from where it
went down, and a few minutes
later the body of Lawson was
discovered; both were taken to the
undertaking parlors of c. Baum
gartner, of this city, where they
were prepared for burial.
The tragic accident which
plunges this family into grief and
has saddened the entire COM
munity, happened at about 5
o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
1t appears that the young victims
with a number of companions,
numbering about a dozen. had
gone to, the river for a swimming
party: they selected section of the
west bank of the river lying
approximately opposite the upper
end of Long Island the water at
this point said to be very rapid.
According to the statements of
eye-witnesses, Lawton, who was
learning to swim was in the some
distance from the remainder of
the party, being about fifty feet
from the bank, and about fifty
below the principal group of
swimmers; it is surmised that he
was seized with cramps. and
witnesses state that he had gone
under twice when the elder broth
err, who was au excellent swimm-
err, perceived his distress and has
tened to his aid: the frightened
young brother yielded to a mis-
take only too common under such
circumstances, clasping his res
cuer about neck in such a fashion
as to impede his swimming: this
hold was so firm as to be relaxed
only by death, and the two broth
ers sank in each others arms.
Joe Lee was married about two
weeks ago to Miss Maggie Tenn
pleton, a pretty and popular
employee for some time OF the
Aycock Hosiery Mills, and the
sympathy of the entire commun-
it goes out to the young widow.
Her husband, at that time of
his death, had just finished his
time as an apprentice in the
moulding shop of the stove works.
Surviving the dead youths are
their parents, Mr.. and Mrs.W. H,
Lee, two brothers Clarence and
Leslie, and two sisters, Mrs. Lee
Ridley of Doran's cove, and Miss
Ina. of this city. The latter was
in Chicago on a visit at the time
of the tragedy and was notified
Immediately by telegraph of the
fate of her brothers.
The funeral was held Friday
afternoon at the PattonIcemetery.

URGES attention
TO seed PROBLEM
PRODUCTION OF CLEAN SEED
IS SOLUTION SAYS
INSPECTOR.

That farmers this spring should ex
ercise unusual care in selecting thei
seed and that there really is no neces
sity for the production Of poor seed
ridden with weed seed, which must b.
shipped from the state, is the asser.
ton Of c. B. Allison, deputy seed in.
spector, who was in Caldwell last
Saturday Continuing. Mr.. Allison
said:
There is too much low quality seed
in this valley to do justice to the seed
business in Idaho. Carloads of seed
not fit to be sold in this state have
been shipped out There are tons YET
to be shipped The question is
Why couldn't these carloads be good
high quality seed?
Because there is such demand for
alfalfa and clover seeds at present this
weedy mixture is commanding an Tin
usual return at half the price Of pure
high quality seed. Time will come
when such will not be the case. Far
mers planting unclean seed and al
lowing the weeds to sap the nourish-
ment cut of their soil are just will
fully curtailing their income and low
ering fdaho's standard as producer
of high quality seed.
Should Buy on Grade Only. ........
Farmers who are in need Of seed
for planting this spring should buy
only on grade whether from the deal
er or farmer. 1t is as unlawful for a
farmer to sell alfalfa, or clovers to
his neighbor without grade as it is
for the dealers to sell without grade.
A grade insures reasonably clean seed
or seed that contains little or no nox-
Iious weed seed.
Farmers who have their own seed
should have it thoroughly cleaned. No
machine made can remove all noxious
weed seed, but the numbers can be
diminished considerably A quarter
| of pint of the reclcaned seed should
be sent to the seed laboratory. Boise
for test. The test will enuremate the
lamount OF all weed seeds and other
commercial seeds present, thus giving
an idea of the advisability Of planting
the lot and in case It is planted when
weeds to combat. A test costs far
mer nothing.
With care and cooperation of al
parties concerned these carload 10.
may go out with grade. command a
high premium and boost the pure seed
industry In Idaho.
