Yesterday afternoon after the
schools of the city had been dismissed
more than a score of students made
their way to this skating place, the ice
being about two inches thick. Appar
ently the Ice was strong enough to
hold the skaters and did so when they
were skating. About 5:00 o'clock, tha
time when the accident happened, a
number of them were crowded togeth
er at the upper end of the lake, for
protection from the wind and cold af
forded by the large stone bridge. While
many of them were thus huddled to
