Roy Manion, June 14. Charles Peters. July 10.

After a search lasting all night, the body of Charles Peters, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peters, who was drowned in Conover's pond Saturday afternoon, was brought to the surface by John Lamb and Chauncey Shepherd about 6:45 o'clock Sunday morning, after the father had located the body.

Charles is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Peters to lose his life by drowning, a 19-year-old son coming to his end in that manner near Dugger, Ind., hardly a year ago. Other misfortunes have struck the family recently also, Mr. Peters losing his leg in a mine acoident about three years ago.

When Charles returned from his work at the Sandford mine Saturday afternoon he gave his mother his money and started for the pond, telling his mother that he and some of the other boys were going fishing. She admonished him not to go into the water as it would be too cold.

The funeral services will be held at the residence, Second street and Maple avenue, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The burial will be made at Woodlawn cemetery.

Michigan will send an instructed delegation for Senator William Alden Smith, but up to this time, if the information that has come as a result of the poll is correct. Senator Smith has made no great progress outside of his own state.

Indiana republicans and several democrats, whose opinion was sought, believe that former Vice President Fairbanks will get the support of his state In the convention of a "favorite son."

An Ohio authority on Kentucky politics expressed the opinion that Mr. Fairbanks would get a complimentary vote from Kentucky if his name goes before the convention, because of the neighborly interest which the Kentucky republicans feel for their Indiana brethren.

It was suggested in this connection that Indiana republicans had afforded an asylum for ex-Gov. Taylor when he fled at the time of the Goebel trouble and successfully resisted extradition to Kentucky for trial.
