The first victim of the season by drowning through ice is Archie Cyrs, son of C. W. Cyrs, residing near Tenstrike, the body being drag- ged from Gull lake yesterday, after gearchers had broken the ice for a large area in hunting the corpse. All night the body of the boy was held down in'the lake beneath the ice. He had gone from home the day before with his skates, taking along traps which he intended to set for muskrats. He intended to take his gun but the mother would ru)t1 allowl him to carry the weapon and he left only with traps and skates and the faithful farm dog as|. his companion.
