Short Cut Across
Pine Lake Fatal
ToFnlaysonLad
Short Cut to School Proves
Fatal to Nine-Year Old
Finlayson Lad.

James John Jones, nine-year ole
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Keith r. Jones
of Finlayson, met death by drowning
in the icy waters of Pine lake las,
Thursday morning while on his way
to school. The lad, who lived on the
east side of the lake, had been cross
ing on the ice to the school direct
ly opposite his home rather than make
the longer trip around on the shore
The recent warm weather and high
winds had weakened the ice on the
west side and while about 100 feet
from the shore the boy broke through.
Schoolmates playing about the
grounds saw the tragedy and sum-
moned help but James had gone
down for the last time before men
with a boat could get to him. It is
reported that he had attempted to
climb onto the ice as he came up
the first time but could not make it.
Locate Body.
The body was found in about Is
feet of water by Walter Makela, Fred
Sprandel and Paul Schlopkohl who
manned the boat. Others helped from
the shore. The ice was only about
a quarter inch thick on the west shore
line so there was no trouble in getting
the boat into the water.
The Jones family moved to the
Pine Lake community about two
years ago from Howard county, Iowa,
where James was born March Is,
1882. Besides his parents James
leaves a five-month old brother and
a three-year old sister. The body
was taken to Leroy for burial Friday.
The community extends deep SYM
pathy to the grief-stricken relatives
in their hour of sorrow.
