County Superintendent Lamson And Wife Nearly Drown.

Wheatfield Review. County Superintendent Lamson and wife, of Rensselaer, came up via auto Wednesday of last week and proceeded to try their luck with the finny tribe of the Kankakee near Thayer, and while out in a row boat on the river fell overboard, and only for the prompt assistance given to their calls for help were Jasper county superin-., tendent and wife saved. When found by those who came to their rescue, they were clinging to the end of their capsized boat.
