Search dis closed that the canoe was missing and later this was found overturned. The next day and for several days after ward police and others dragged the lake in the hope of recovering the body.
 Others searched the woods skirting the lake, thinking that perhaps MT. kershaw. i'll, or for some other req son, may have strayed of and was in them, desperately i'll or perhaps dead. Neither searching party attained sue cess. A confusing number of theories were advanced. But all the time Mrs. kershaw was firm in her belief that Mir.

FOREST FIRE BURNS
 ACROSS 1000 ACRES
Hundreds Battle Flames That Start at Coffee House
 Crossing

After several hundred people had battled Tor more than two days, the forest fire that laid waste to upwards of 2,000 acres of timber land, be- tween the Sutton town line and Coffee House Crossing on the edge of Thompson. was extinguished, but not without the aid of heavy downpour of welcomed rain on Wednesday or before between $l00.000 and si50,- 900 damage had been done. The exact cause IS still undetermined, though officials were at work today conduct ing a rigid investigation.
 During the progress of the fire as- sistsace was given by the fire depart ments of Worcester, Millbury, Mil vile, Whitinsville, Webster and OK ford. Several mills were shut down that employees might join in fighting the flames. and on Wednesday Web. ster High school was closed, thus per hitting upwards of 100 boys to lend their assistance.
 William Wallace of East Douglas Is reported as the heaviest loser because of the fire. Mir. Wallace owned about 500,00 feet of stacked lumber, val ued at about $50 per 1,000s feet. Walter Parker of Douglas Center lost i00,a 900 feet of stacked lumber. which lie Is said to have valued at $25 thousand. The flames also ru- ined the steam saw mill owned by Thomas Harmon.
 On the burned area there stood a heavy growth of wood, ranging from five years to 40 years. No one has placed value on this, it is believed tp far exceed in money value that which was stacked and consumed by the flames.

Eighteen days after being reported he his wife as having been drowned n Aexander's Lake, the body of Benn gsrshaw, 3s, of Putnam, came Go the suyfaee of the lake yesterday fore ,oon and was discovered by Mrs. Ker- shax. who was making her almost daily walk about the edge of the lake, searching for her husbands remains. The body was floating, not far from he shore and very near the spot wbere the overturned canoe was found. this latter fact being the only evidence upon which the drowning ,heory was based. Charles Ryan, Putnam taxi man, who happened to he iu the vicinity when Mrs. Kershaw rave the alarm following her discov- sry of the body, waded into the water and brought the remains to dry land.
 Coroner Views Body
 Coroner A. c. Bill of Danilson viewed the remains and gave permis- sion fer burial. He found officially that Mr. Kershaw met death by acci- dental drowning. Undertaken Ballard was given charge of the body.
 when the body was found, both arms, tQ up above the elbows, and most of the head were covered with a costiHg of mud. This indicated to some people that when Mir kershaw plunged into the water from the ca- noe, he went straight down, arms and head being buried in the mud at the lake bottom. It is believed that his being sc held at the bottom, may have been responsible for his body not coming to the surface sooner, as it re- mained under the water for twice the length of time that a drowned per sons remains usually continue sub m@ged
 Mir. kersh.w Well Known
 WhGe Mir. kershaw was well known in Putnam and vicinity. he was also a familiar figure in other New Eng land cities, because of his having worked in various mills, particularly in Lowell, Fall River, New Bedford. and plants in Pawtucket and vicinity He came from Lowell mill to Put nam to be instructor in the textile de- partment of the State Trade school. He served in this capacity for four years, resigning last fall to become identified with Fall River mill in an executive capacity. A few weeks ago he returned to Putnam and went to work for the Nightingale-Morse Mills,
