Bather Is
Drowned in.
Carter Lake
Lawrence Dunn, South Side,
Is Pulled Under When
Weeds Entwine His
Body.
Friends Try to Save Him

Death by drowning claimed one per-
son among the thousands of Omahans
who sought relief from the intense
heat which maintained a steady pace
Of 96 degrees for nearly three hours
yesterday afternoon.
Lawrence Dunn, Thirteenth and
Edwards streets, South Omaha, lost
his life at $50 yesterday afternoon
when he became enmeshed in weeds
while swimming across Carter lake.
He sank the third time while John
Ericsson and John OConnor, 5414
South Thirteenth street, companions,
were endeavoring to reach him.
~ Friends Attempt Rescue.
O'Connor was in a rowboat follow
ing Dunn and Ericsson when the
former became tangled in the weeds,
which, with octopus-like tenacity,
clung to his body in the shallow
water near the north shore. He was
pulled under and became strangled.
The growth impeded C'Connor as
he frantically sought 10 row to his
companion. Ericsson attempted to
swim to the boat to aid in the rescue.
The deffse weeds prevented progress
OF the boat.
Body Found in Hour.
The body was recovered with grap-
pling hooks an hour later by George
Hartman and f. A. Pardun. Carter

unsuccessful candidates for the house
of delegates.
The success of the entire dry legis-
latiEe slate is due largely to the lead
ership of State Senator David A. Robb,
1T is generally conceded. Robb made
up the slate, which he carried through
the primary and election intact.
Republicans say Armstrong would
have made a much better showing
had he come out on a straight dry
platform: that because of his position
ip the campaign excuses had to be
made for him with practically every
voter.
Former Judge William C. Walsh
led the democratic fight IN the coun-
ty, and local politicians give him
much credit for the great showing of
Ritchie, following complete organiza-
tion methods put in force some
months ago and assiduously followed.
The republicans were demoralized by
factional fights, and it is believed that
practically all of the 1000 votes cast
in the republican primary against the
Holtzman-Zihlman organization went

Mr.. Ritchie's associates on the state
ticket were carried along with him
by majorities comparable to his.
They are w. S. Gordy, jr., for con-
troller; Thomas H. Robinson, attor-
ney general. and James A. Young,
clerk Of the court of. appeals. The
missing precincts are scattered
among every one of the .twenty-three
counties, exclusive of Baltimore city,
and normally would not alter the re-
suit by more than a thousand or two
votes either way.
Assembly Returns.
Maryland also elected members of
the general assembly, but up to this
forenoon only a few of the counties
had reported. The democrats were
claiming, however, that indications
pointed to a democratic majority in
both houses. In Baltimore they
claimed five of the six Legislative dis
tricts, conceding that the fourth dis
trict may go republican. This dis
trict contains a large negro vote, and
an outstanding feature of the repub-
ican rally in the fourth was the
probability that three negro candi-
dates on the ticket for the house of
delegates had been elected. If elect
ed they will be the first of their race
to sit in the Maryland legislature.

RICHMOND. Va, November L.
Every voter in the state, with the ex-

substantial majorities in favor of the
bond issue, but this lead was gradually
cut down as returns from the counties
began to slowly come in, and at mid
night the majority against the is
suance of bonds began to roll up so
steadily that even the most staunch
advocates of this method of financing
the states road work estimated the
vote against would be at least 10000
Definite figures, however. will not be

An entire new membership Of the

but this feature of the voting was
nothing more than a formality, as In
