BOAT CAPSlZES,
men ARE SAVED
S. 0. Difendorf and Dr.. H. F. Por-
ter Narrowly Escape Death by
Drowning Sunday

An accident occurred late Sunday
morning on Ringo Lake which recall
ed to mind the tragedy of almost SINH
lar nature when the late Albert Bas-
tein of Little Falls lost his life in Long
Lake on October 18th. Mr. S. o. Diff
fendorf, prominent clothier of Will
mar, and DR.. H. F. Porter. dentist,
narrowly escaped death by drowning
when their small hunting boat over
turned in Ringo Lake. The accident
occurred about noon on Sunday.
The two men had hunted since dawn
on Sunday and were rowing across the
lake from North to the South side. The
boat in which they were riding was a
small hunting boat. They had arrived
at the middle of the lake when a fine
flock of ducks passed overhead. Both
Diffendorf and Porter prepared to
shoot and in so doing leaned quite
heavily on the same side of the boat.
The discharge from Mr.. Diffendorf's
gun caused the boat to tip suddenly
over and the two men found themsel-
YES in the water with the boat, bottom
up. They both clung b one end of
the boat and called for help.
Fortunately the wind was in their
favor and carried their cries for help
to other hunters on the shore. Leon
ard Harris who had a small boat set
out to rescue the men but found his
own boat filling due to the high waves.
He had rowed for some time when he
met stranger in quite large boat.
Leaving his partly filled boat Harris
joined the stranger in the larger boat
and roWed on to the imperilled men:
Mr.. Akerson also heard the cries
and ran for the Handy boat which
was firmly chained and locked. He had
to first break the chain before he
could set off. He arrived and succeed
ed in getting DR.. Porter into the boat.
DR.. Porter declared that he could not
have held on much longer as he was
exhausted. Both men had lost their
guns.
both men declared that had not the
rescuers come in time the boat would
have sunk. The boat had two air
chambers which were not air tight
and began to leak. This caused the
boat to sink Slowly.
Ernest Berg, whose farm hCnne is
located nearby, set out in staye boat.
The men we're taken to Berg's home
and treated accordingly. The strain
on them during the thirty minutes was
severe experience thru which to
pass.
The boat is the property Of DR.. Por.

until Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 3Oth.
Citizens of the city are urged to meet
the solicitors with every courtesy.
They are not working for themselves

serves the support of the community.
No one who knows the work and
mission of the Red Cross will deny
them small financial support which
they ask from the individual citizen.
There may be Tag Day in Will

the plans have not been perfected for

Willmar may have to postpone the ev-
ent, he stated until later date during
the drive.
Four Red Cross moving picture

! week and will be shown in the Dream
land and Majestic Theatre in the city
during the drive period. They may
also be shown at village movie hOu-
ses in the county.
During last Saturday, Armistice Day
! when the Roll Call opened the Boy
Scouts of the Bethel church covered
the city residences and business places
with circulars about the work of the
Red Cross. This the Scouts did with
out charge.
To indicate that organized labor in
the country is giving it's sympathetic
aid to the Red Cross work, Samuel
Gompers, it's national president states,
1T is a pleasure to commend the work
of the Red Cross and to express the
hope that this great humanitarian SER
vice may receive the continued sup
port of the American people. The Red

ginning on Armistice Day will meet
with a generous and adequate res
ponse." g.

specific cure has been found. Some
idea of the ravages of the disease may
be had from the facts that from 1900
until 1920 about 100000 persons in
the United States were claimed by
cancer.
The Society, which is headed by Dr.
Charles A. Powers, of Denver, Colo.
