Boy Loses Life Skating On Ice

Breaks Through Thin Ice and Plunges Into 22 Feet of Icy Water. Lloyd, Nine-year-old Son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Gilderman, Drowned — Body Recovered After An Hour’s Search—Parents Have Sympathy of Entire Community. The icy waters of Lake Syracuse again exacted their toll of human life, Sunday, when nine-year-old Lloyd Gildermau skated through thin ice that barely covered a triangular break in the smooth expanse of seven-inch ice which coaled that portion of the lake, and was drowned within sight of a score of other skaters, who were powerless to prevent casualty. Stories of the drowning differ; but the details gathered from a young man named Wogoman, who, with a Laughlin boy attempted rescue, and later saw the unfortunate boy sink, shape the essential facts about as follows: The fatality occured about 11 o’clock at a point about 400 feet east of the Ellwood Pearson home. The Wogoman boy was skating along rather fast and when he hit the/soft ice, it threw him clear over the dangerous place. The Laughlin boy following, jumped over the spot where he had seen his predecessor fall; Lloyd Gilderman was some distance behind these two and was using an umbrella as a sail, and with this barrier probably did not see that there was anything wrong with the ice. The two older boys say that they did not know of the unfortunate lad’s proximity until they saw him struggling in the water. As soon as they discovered his plight, Laughlin reached out with a hockey stick he was carrying, and Wogoman held on to his heels. The ice would not stand the weight, however, and the Laughlin boy was also precipi-, tated into the cold water, but was dragged out by his companion, and the doomed boy disappeared for the last time while the other lads were scrambling to safe ice. At first, the identity of the drowned boy was uncertain, but a pair of glove's found nearby was recognized by Mrs. Gilderman as belonging to her son. A messenger was sent to the father, who was at the foundry, and in the meantime, search for the body commenced. A boat was slid out to the spot and the depth of the water was found to be about 22. Poles were hurriedly spliced together but was discarded for a drag hook, secured from the Rothenberger undertaking establishment. The body had evidently settled directly to the bottom of the lake, which Was a fortunate thing, for had it floated out under the ice, recovery would hav&been extremely difficult. The boy was taken from the water within an hour after his fatal plunge. A physician was in waiting, but was powerless to revive the spark of life. The telephone office was opened and a call was sent to J. W. Rothenberger, who was spending the day at thfe Sam Portfer home. He drove to New Paris, but discovered that the pulmotor that was to be placed there, had not yet been delivered. He telephoned the coroner who arrived here about one o clock, bringing with him a pulmotor and a Warsaw physician, but life had been extinct too long for the appliance to be of any use. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Gilderman are naturally heartbroken over the grevious affair, but fortunately realize that they are powerless to undo what a higher will has ordered. The stricken boy was born in Laporte and would have been ten years of age had ‘he lived until the 24th of August. With his parents, and six-year-old sister Mabie, he came to Syracuse less than a year ago. when Mr. Gilderman rejuvenated the old radiatbr works into the Gilderman

Manufacturing & Foundry Co., of which he is treasurer and general manager. Friends from Laporte and other cities have sent messages of sympathy and this entire community feels sorrow with the bereaved parents. The funeral was held from the home on Tuesday at 1:30 p. m., Rev. C. A Cloud officiating. Many beautiful flowers and floral designs were presented by sympathizing friends and citizens. Interment was made in the Syracuse cemetery. Vorhis Will Probated The will of Ptoilman Vorhis was probated in Goshen last week. Mr. Vorhis’ will was witnessed by Otis C. Butt and George L. Xanders when it was executed June 5,1913. The widow, Della M. Vorhis, and Andrew Edmonds are named as joint executors. A life estate in the realty is given to the widow, after which it is to go in equal parts to Emory 0., Howard T., and Ethel M. Vorhis, sons and daughter. Mr. Vorhis died July 21, 1913. A LETTER FROM CHK. I. SMITH Writes More About Arizona and Its Diversity of Crops. Phoenix, Arizona. Editor Syracuse Journal, Dear Sir:—Salt River Valley, Arizona, is 25 miles wide and 75 miles long and as for the product, it varies in localities. Around Mesa, 18 miles east of Phoenix, they are raising cotton, and it does well, and by the way alfalfa’is a staple crop all over the valley, but they can’t raise every seed. There is but one part of the valley and that is around Buckeye, 16 miles southwest of Phoenix, where they cut the first crop for hay and then two crops for seed. From 150 to 200 pounds can be grown on an acre in one year and it sells from 12 to 15 cents per pound. Glendale has been making a specialty of raising sugar beets as they have a sugar factory. Glendale is 14 miles northwest of here. There have been in the past a great many cantelopes raised but on account of the high freight they have turned their attention to other crops. The orange belt lies north of here. There are quite a number of groves but they are not a paying business. Since the Universal Irigation the season has changed and it freezes harder than it did. There are quite a number ostrich farms and on one farm there are 3,000 birds. The general industry is alfalfa, cattle and sheep There are dairy farms all over the valley of from 10 to 75 cows. It is a common thing for cows to sell for SIOO to $175 and some so high you would think , well they have a good grade of stock out here. There are a good many thousand head of sheep here. They have their lambs and as soon as they are shorn, which will be in March and April, they will start for the hills the same as the cattle. The valley is full and as soon as the grass starts out on the ranges will be gone.

FOR STOMACH TROUBLE John W. Skillen of Sidney, Has Found a Remedy. Experts declare that the reason stomach disorders are so common in this country is due to hasty and careless habits of eating. Stpmach troubles and run-down conditions usually go together. John W. Skillen of Sidney, Ohio, says: “I had a bad stomach trouble for years, and became so weak that I could hardb* walk or do any work. My appetite was poor, and it seemed Impossible to get any relief. Since taking ‘Vinol’ I find a remarkable improvement in my health, my digestion is much stronger, and I have gained In weight I would not be without Vinol.” • Vinol makes weak stomachs strong because it strengthens and tones up the weakened, tired and overtaxed nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol is easily assimilated by the weakest stomachs, and is delicious to the taste. Try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. j Quality Drug Store, Syracuse

Alfalfa is a money maker. It Yields from 5 to 8 tons per acre for the season and then they let it grow up and sell it out to the cattle and sheep men for pasture at $5.00 per acre. The 6th crop is what they are pasturing at the present time. Hay sells out of the field at $8 to $9 per ton and after cold at $lO to sl2. For an out-of-the way place it has some very good buildings. The federal building cost $172,000, built out of stone from Indiana. The Adams Hotel cost $175,000 and a number of others that cost nearly as much. There are six churches that cost $25,000 each and two years ago they built a group of high school buildings that cost $250,000 and a new grammer school is now being built that will cost $150,000. The Y.M.C.A. cost $125,000. By this you can see that there is some wealth around Phoenix. For fear I weary your patiencer I drop my pen right here. Yours truly. C. V. SMITH. " John Smith Dies > The death of John Smith, aged 73, occured at his home in Syracuse, last Thursday morning at 11 o’clock, of organic heart trouble and Bright’s Disease. Mr. Smith moved to Syracuse last fall and prior to that time lived near New Paris for 30 yefcrs. Surviving him are bis wife, two children, Allen Smith of this place, and Mrs. Orris Chiddester, of Clinton township, Elkhart county; two brothers, one sister and a grandchild. The funeral services were held at Solomon’s Creek, Sunday afternoon at one o’clock. Grant Reduction. Directors of the Elkhart County Mutual Association met last week at Goshen, and after carefully considering what has become known as “the lightning rod question” in con nection with policies issued by the company, decided to grant a reduction of 20 per cent on charges for policies when buildings insured are protected by lightning rods. Leaves Elkhart Schools Harry Groves has resigned his position in the Elkhart schools and has accepted similar occupation in Calumet, Mich. He and Mrs. Groves will go to Calumet within the next week.
