DROWNED AT BLAGKDUGK LAPORTE e Two Meet Death While Sail- ing Boat on Waters of Lake Garfield. GUST OF WIND CATCHES SAIL AND UPSETS BOAT. Frantic Efforts to Escape End in Failure and Dead Bodies Are Taken From Water. Mrs. Mary J. Bossom, aged 76 and her 53 year old son, Joseph Bossom, were drowned in Lake Garfield near Laporte, Sunday evening at 5:30 while sailing in company with two other mem- bers of the family who narrowly escaped death. The party set out shortly after noon on Sunday and sailed around the lake for several hours. A guest of wind caught the sail as they were nearing shore and up- set the boat, precipitating the occupants into the water, where they struggled for some time be- fore assistance arrived. The man was dead when taken from the water and the aged lady expired shortly after reaching shore. The two other accupants of the boat were nearly dead when_rescued but quick action restored them to life. One of the survivors of the ac: DEFEA’IED Taken Into Camp by Be- midji Team. Bemidji yesterday afternoon defeated the Blackduck base ball team ina game played on the local diamond by -a score of 9 to 5. Although the game was full of errors, due to the roughness of the grounds, it was interest- ing and about 500 persons turned out to witness the exhibition, among the crowd being a large contingent of Blackduck rooters. Lewey Roy was tried out in the pitcher’s box for the first time this season, and, although a trifle wild, he did good work, allowing only nine hits. Nick Smith did stunts behind the bat and caught a good game. Tom Bailey in cen- ter field and James Carlton in right did excellent fielding, although each failed to connect with Pippin’s curves. Flatner at second and Hazen at third played lgood ball all around. Tom Carl- ton held down first base and was “there” at all stages of the game. LeGore played at short and came in for his share of the honors at the stick, lining out two two-bag- gers. Otto at left fleld secured only one chance during the game, but succeeded in hanging on to a story of the game: cident says that both the persons drowned took cramps in the water and could not hold on to the boat. The funeral over the remains was held at Laporte yesterday afternoon. The Bossom family live at the northeast corner of Lake Garfield and are well known in that sec- tion.
