COMPLAINTS CAN
BE MADE TO BOARD
Kicks Against Tax Assessments
Will Soon Be Piled With
Review Members.
VICTIMS OF HEAT
ARE RECOVERING
Charles Benton, Who Was Pros
trated Monday, Goes to
His Home.
Written complaints to the board of
review regarding the size of your
taxes can be made any time now.
However, it is expected that the ma
jority of the kicks will not come until
after the assessment list is published.
It is expected that it will be printed
within the next week and then people
will have an opportunity to see
just how hard the assessor has gone
after them.
The printed list will contain all the
assessments on personal property and
all the changes on real estate, as the
real estate rate is fixed but once in
four years. The board of review will
meet about the middle of the month
for the purpose of taking up com
plaints against the assessments.
The condition of Charles Benton,
who was prostrated with the heat yes
terday afternoon, is reported to be im
proved today.
All of the other victims of the four
torrid days are reported to be recover
ing from the effects of the- heat and it
is thought that the city will, pass
through the first hot spell with but one
fatali'-y.
As a direct result of the extreme
heat of the past few days, John Ker
win passed away this afternoon ..at
12:30 at the home of his brother
Thomas Kerwin,- northwest of Daven
port, on the Green Tree and Duclt
Creeks roads.
The deceased was 53 years of age.
Sunday evening1" about 5 o'clock he
was prostrated with the heat and
gradually grew worse until the end
came. He leaves two brothers,
Thomas of Davenport and James of
Peoria, and two sisters, Mrs. M.
Washburn, Orion and Mrs. Mary

Lawrence, Mass., July 1. A narrow
wooden walk leading over 15 feet of
water to the municipal bathhouse In
the Merrimac river yesterday gave
way under the stamping feet of a
crowd of impatient boys and at least
12 of the little fellows were drowned.
There may be more bodies in the
stream.
The boys, ranging from 9 to 15 years,
were waiting for William B. Wythe,
the bathhouse keeper, to open the
door. No one knew how many there
were in the party, hut it is thought
that 40 is a conservative estimate.
The boys were jumping up and ddwn
as they shouted to Blytho to open
up when the supports sank and the
walk extension dropped like a trap
door, rolling the lads into the river.
There is a swift current at this point
drawn by the falls a quarter of a mile
below and the youngsters were caught
in this. Many of them could not swim.
It was thought at first that only
three were drowned and it was not
until hours later that the probable
loss of life was realised. A boy in
the crowd of distracted persons on
shore, missing his chum, set up a
cry:
"I don't see Rollie. He must be
drowned."
Boats and grappling hooks were
then brought and the river bed was
dragged.
Elkhart, Ind., July 1. Alice, 16;
Clara, 14; Ida, 13, and Grace, 8, daugh
ters of Mr. and Mrs. John Schwyn,
whose home is five miles east of Elk
hart, were drowned about noon yes
terday while bathing in the St. Joseph
river, three miles east of Elkhart.
Tho bodies were discovered about 5
o clock yesterday afternoon by Clar
ence and Hugh Eaterday, young sons
of George Eaterday, on whose farm
the girls had come to pick cherries.
The girls had been missed shortly
after the noon hour, but Eaterday
thought they had quit and left for
home because of the heat. The boys
discovered tlieir clothing on the bank
and hiaw the bodies of two floating
on the water. Divers recovered tfhe
other two bodies. The girls were
noted as expert swimmers, and had
made the trip from their home to the
Eaterday place in a canoe.
