Two very sad occurances took place here Sunday. First was the drowning of Martin Jensen, one of the “Regulars” in the Wheatfield ball team. Young Jensen and a number of other Wheatfield boys came to Dunn’s Bridge Sunday and in the afternoon they decided to have a swim, and were going to see which one could get into the water first. Jensen was the first one Into the water, but before he got across he threw up his hands several times, but as he was such a good swimmer they only thought him in fun. But as soon as they realised the seriousness of the situation one of them went and put out his hand to him. He grasped at his fingers but as suddenly relaxed his hold and went down. Warren White doveffor him several times but did not find him. At last Frank Slight of Chicago, who is camping at the river, succeeded in finding him lying face downward on the bottom of the river. Drs. Solt of San Pierre and Zeuch of Wheatfield were immediately brought and the body was taken in ah automobile to his home in Wheatfield. The entire township extends their deepest sympathy to the bereaved ones in the loss of their beloved brother and son.

Some people still ask the mail carriers if they carry stamps? Now what do you think of that? Of course you may get anything of the carrier you may desire along the postoffice line of goods. A. D.

Warner and Mrs. Simon Cook went to Bradley, 111., Tuesday morning to see their brother Chas. Abblegore who has been seriously sick for several months with typhoid fever.

Roy Bussell made his first attempt to carry the mail on the motorcycle Saturday, and without very satisfactory results. The tires refused to hold hot air when about half way on the route, so he was compelled to leave the machine and call for a rig to finish the trip. New tires will be necessary before any more trips are made. / Expert athletes will be barred from the jumping and running events at the 4th here, as it is intended for the home boys to have some of the fun. The reason this action was taken is because some of the trained athletes from Rensselaer and adjoining towns make it a point to divide up, take in all the celebrations and sweep things clean. The Sunday school convention at McCoysburg Sunday was a decided success and everyone thoroughly enjoyed’ the affair throughout, notwithstanding the excessive heat. Much good is to come from these conventions, as they offer excellent opportunities to exchange ideas and help things along in general. Joseph Stewart and Miss Ola Randle were re-elected president and secretary of the township. (Correspondence continued on last page)
