depth, but unfortunately he was out
side the sand bar in deep water, and
not being able to swim, came to the
surface twice before he sank exhausted.
Tony Smale endeavored to rescue him
but was unable to ascertain his where
abouts in the water after he finally
sank.

The upper floor of the building was

The village of Winton has been the
scene of strike at the st. Croix mills
since last Monday. An attempt was
made to stop the Swallow mills but
! the men at that mill were satisfied with
their present conditions and refused
to go out, while another attempt was
made to stop the planer. The cause
of the strike was that they wished a
raise of twenty-five cents day. The
company did not consider the strikers
demands as they did not ask for the
raise before walking out. The men
