ROBERT McMAHN IN WATERY GRAVE Young Man Swimming in the River Mouse Sunday is Taken With Cramps Suddenly and Drowns—Narrow Escape for Three of his Companions. Robert McMann, a young man 24 years of age, was drowned while bathing in Mouse river in this city just west of the Soo bridge Sunday afternoon about four o'clock. In company with Geo. and Earnest Todd, Elvin Wright, Ed Glensky and others, McMann went to the river to bathe. He was walking in shal low water but stepped off into a hole perhaps thirty feet deep, not realizing that he was bathing in a very treacherous stream. He went down and as he came up he grabbed one of his companions and pulled him down. His com panion managed to get hold of some of the bushes along the edge of the shore and in this manner saved himself. He grabbed another companion and nearly drowned him, it being necessary to roll the young man when he was taken out on the banks. His face was blue and he was nearly unconscious. Geo. Todd swam over to the strug gling fellow and he too was pull ed under, but managed to get away. McMann then went un der for the last time and his body to date has not been recovered. A large crowd, gathered on the banks soon after and the river has been dragged without re sults. McMann was a steady young man who had worked for the past three months at Van Hou sen's livery stable. He had just returned from near Graiion where he spent the Fourth with his parents. The report that McMann had been drinking Sunday is without foundation. Many friends in Minot sincerely regret the terri ble calamity which befell him. SURREY MAY GET BIG COLLEGE German Baptist College Will Likely be Located at Wide Awake Town East of Minot— Would be a Fine Thing For Young People of This Part of the State. Surrey has an excellent oppor tunity of securing- the new Ger man Baptist Brethern college which will be erected some place in the northwest. A committee of the influential members of that church met at Surrey last night and are consid ering the proposition of estab lishing their school at that place. Chas. Funderberg has offered to donate twenty acres of his fine farm which touches the village, and the wealthy farmers in that community no doubt would raise a good deal of money to assist in erecting the necessary buildings. The proposed college, while managed by the church, will take outside students and board them at reasonable rate. The twenty acres which Mr. Funderberg pro poses to donate, will leave plenty of room for fine gardens which is quite an item. The schools managed by this denomination are always success ful and the Independent hopes that Surrey will be successful in its endeavor to land the proposi tion. We have been having an ex ceedingly hot spell of weather. The mercury began to rise on Sunday last, and while none of it managed to escape from the ther mometers, there was grave dan ger of them bursting. The nights have been excessively hot many people finding it hard to sleep at all. Reminds us of Illi nois weather when for week af ter week man and beast suffered with the heat. This weather is just what we need, only we don't want too much of it. A short time ago the farmers were wor ried over an excessive amount of rain and cool weather. The grain is developing very fast and we may look for a reasonably early harvest after all.
