Guy Fast, aged 22 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harley Fast of Deering, and Miss Freda Schlecting, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schlecting of Up ham, were drowned in Buffalo Lodge lake, northeast of Granville, Tuesday afternoon at a Fourth of July celebra tion, when their canoe capsized. The young couple had left the crowd of picnickers and started across the lalce for a canoe ride. The canoe was not seen to capsize, but the young cou ple were missed and the canoe was seen later about a mile across the lake but without any occupants. The only ether boat on the lake was a motor boat owned by Mr. Davey. It took some time to get it started and a num ber motored to that part of the lake. The body of the young woman was seen floating near the surface of the water and one of the occupants of the boat grasped her by the hair, but the boat was going so fast that he could not retain his hold. When the boat had been turned and returned to the spot, the body had disappeared. The accident occurred at 7 in the evening and the bodies were not re- W W \R covered until the following day. Hun dreds stood on the shore of the lake looking for the bodies. An attempt was made to secure drag-nets from Minot, but that failed. Grappling hooks were made and the lake was dragged. The body of the young wo man was found in about ten feet of water and a short time later that of the young man was found but a few yards away.
