Swimming in Ice-Cold Water.

It has been considered impossible for a human being to swim across Grand Lake, Middle Park, Colorado. The water is cold as ice the year around, and all who attempted to swim from shore to shore were said to have perished. But the feat has recently been accomplished. While the Messrs. Stover, Sheldon, Love and Hottel were at the lake during their recent pleasure trip, a French Canadian bet SSO that he could swim across the lake. The bet was. readily taken. The Frenchman prepared for the undertaking by removing his clothing and dipping in the lake until he became accustomed to the temperature of the water, and then dashed in and swam across without any apparent difficulty. He declared that he could swim back again. The feat caused great excitement among old-timers, who lost heavily.— Fort Collins Express.
