Won Bet By Drowning.

Butte, Mont.—Nick Velky, a Macedonian switchman, wagered his friend T. Suski $lO that he could remain under the waters of the Country Club Lake for thirty minutes. He won the bet, but he will never collect the money for an hour and a half later his body was recovered in six feet of water near the shore, where it had become enmeshed in undergrowth.
