Arthur H. Erickson met with the
misfortune of having a very valu
able horse cut on a barb wire fence
and very seriously injured. It was
a valuable animal and Arthur feels
his bad luck very deeply.
During the thunder storm last
Sunday night lightning struck the
barn of John 0. Nelson, about half
a mile from New London. All the
cattle were stunned by the bolt,
but no serious damage was done.
Mr. Nelson was in the barn at theo'clock
time, but escaped injury.
M. W. Spicer and wife went to
Flandreau, N. D., last Monday to
attend a racing meet of the Corn

horses in the circuit this year, El
nor S. of the 2:25 class who won
distinction last year on the tracks,
and Joseph Medayto, who is a pa-when
cer, but has never been in a race
before. We hope Mr. Spicer's
horses will make a good account of
themselves.

DROWNED IN
DIAMONDLAKE
L. W. Harris of Atwater
Found DeathWhile
Out Fishing.
Louis W. Harris, a jeweler in
Atwater, drowned at Diamond Lake
last Sunday at about noon, the boat
having capsized in the strong wind.
The people in the eastern part of
the county were terribly shocked
last Sunday to hear of the untimely
death of Louis W. Harris, which
occurred in the manner stated.
With a companion, Charles Hanson,
the unfortunate man left Atwater
early Sunday morning for a day's
fishing at Diamond Lake. They
were fishing along the south shore
opposite the Peter Larson cottage.
Some little time after twelve
the boat capsized. The
wind blew quite hard and the waves
were running high. Both Harris
and Hanson started to swim for
shore. Hanson, however, became
tangled in the anchor rope and could
make no headway and clung to the
boat. Harris struck out sturdily
for the shore but had not gone far
he was taken with cramps.
He called out, "Help, I can't make
it." Hanson called out, "Just a
minute, I'll be there." Hanson
was not more than ten feet away
when Harris sank for the last time,
and Hanson could render no assist
ance. George Larson and Charles
Whitcomb.were in another boat not
far away and pulled for the strug
gling men as fast as they could and
pulled Hanson into their boat.
Meanwhile Michael Wheeler ar
rived from the shore with a garden
rake and the lost man was found
after having been under water
about twenty minutes. His watch
at 12:40 o'clock. He was
found near the shore and the water
was no more than six feet deep.
Hard work was done in attempts to
restore life. Thanks to the tele
and automobile, Dr. Branton
of Atwater arrived on the scene
within half an hour of the accident,
but all efforts were in vain. The
body was taken to Charles Fergu
son's place near by, and to Atwater
in the evening.
The deceased was the third son
of Joseph D. and Addie Harris,
early settlers on the north shore of
Diamond Lake, and had attained
the age of about forty years. He
had been in business at Atwater
about two years. He was previous
ly located at Ross, N. D. He leaves
to mourn him a wife and three chil
dren, all boys: Lawrence, age 15
Rubert, age 12 Dale, age 9 years.
His mother survives him, as do two
brothers and one sister—Frank
Harris of Spicer, Irving Harris of
Camden, Wash., and Mrs. Peter
Burns of Kandiyohi. The stricken
ones command the sympathy of the
entire community.
The funeral is held today. Ser
vices were conducted this morning
at the Presbyterian church in At
water by Rev. Akers. The inter
ment takes place at the Oakside
cemetery of Harrison.
The Litcfield Independent of yes
terday publishes the following ac
count of the sad affair:
Chicago Report on
Copper Creek Properties
During the month of February Edmond J. Harbin of the
Edward Hines Lumber Co. and Clayton P. Lardie of McCarthy
& Lardie, commission merchants of Chicago, stockholders in
Copper Creek Mining Company, visited the property not only
for the purpose of satisfying themselves but for the benefit of
friends who held stock. On their return from the mine they
made a complete report of what they found. Copies of this
report can be had by addressing the undersigned or calling at
mine or Walter DeLaHunt's office. Get a copy of this report
and see what the investors think about the property after hav
ing had an opportunity to look it over.
Copies of the last annual statement can also be had for
the asking.

We learn that Mr. Harris and
Charles Hanson had gone to Dia
mond Lake Sunday on a fishing ex
cursion. They decided to make
a catch for the noon day meal and
went down to the beach and pushed
out the boat. The craft had not
been in the water for some time
and they soon found that it leaked
badly. Realizing the danger they
were in, the anchor was dropped
ife'*..
only a short distance from the shore
and they started to still fish. The
water continued to enter the boat
and when it had apparently reached
the danger mark, they started to
pull up the anchor with the inten
tion of going to shore and empty
ing out the water. When about to
pull the anchor over the gunwale
on one side the boat lost its equilib
rium and the water running to that
side caused a tip over. Hanson
