Saturday evening it {was rumored that a boy had been drowned in the Willimantic river. Chief of Police E. H. Richmond was notified by Officer Victor Enander. A few moments later Mayor D, P. Dunn telephoned the chief who immediately went to the site of the supposea drowning, and with - th or superintended the work of re- covering the body. Boats were pro- cured and volunteers were called for. The Thompson boyx who live on Pleasant street, with another young man who lives in the Oaks rowed out into the stream and the Thompsons began grappling for the body. After a few moments, Burt.Thompson, who was in the bow of the boat, struck something and pulling it in found that it was the body of the missing boy, John Raymond Warner, aged 7. Chief Richmond assisted in pulling the drowned lad to the river bank at the rear of the Central Vermont freight hotse, The body was fecovered about 6.45 o'clock. Walter Broadhurst, step-father of the drowned lad, with another youngs- ter, went to the river hetween five and six o'clock and began looking for, worms.

The lad apparently began to get lone- some and climbed into an old scow, that is used as a sort of a ferry to BO across the river (o the spring. The scow is attached to an overhead wire and whe passenger pulls himseif across by it. The boy. it is believed, pulled himself about half-way across the river and then lost his balance and fell into the river, which is pretty deep at this pont. The boy's hat was found down the river near the Provi- dence bridge. When the child's step-father return- ed be found no trace of the lad and immediately it was assumed that he had fallen into the river. The alarm was given and provision was being made to have the water drawn off just as the body was recovered within twenty-five feet from the spot where the child is supposed to have fallen in. buc nearer the Main street bank of the river and east of the freight house, Medical Examiner Dr. Louls I. Ma- <on pronounced death due to accident- al drowning. The body was turned over to Funeral Director H. N. Fenn to vrepare for burial.

And hard rubbing on the washboard wears them out and frays them. You avoid this by washing the Fels-Naptha way in cold or lukewarm water. Boiling and hard-rubbing are un- necessary, because Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt into tiny particles which are sent flying by light rubbing and thorough rinsing. Then, too, the clothes are cleaner, whiter and sweeter, as well as longer-weéar- ing. .
