Erick A. Gronberg and George
Steinberg Drown in Sil­
ver Lake
BY THE CAPSIZING OF BOAT.
The saddest accident in the his­
tory of Virginia, an accident which
robs two homes of cherished sons
and cut off two young lives in the
bud of manhood, occurred on Tues­
day afternoon, when Brick Albert
Gronberg, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
Gronberg, and George Steinberg,
youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Stein­
berg, of The Fair Store, went to a
watery grave in Silver Lake through
the foolhardiness of boys in rock­
ing a boat, as the party approached
shore.
In company with Johnny Kraker,
Fred Verville, Johnny Thompson,
Willie Thorum and Willie Molan
the victims of the accident had been
enjoying a row about the lake, and
were headed for the landing at the
west erid of Chestnut. street when
some one of the party thoughtlessly
and foolishly commenced rocking
the boat, others quickly assisting
with the result that the skiff was
capsized when some forty feet from
shore.
With the exception of George
Steinberg, all the boys could swim
and started for shore, but the Gron­
berg boy, noting the helplessnes
of his companion and being a goo
swimmer, returned to render assisj
ance. As he approached, the drow
ing boy caught him by the leg, a
both, sank to the bottom ere assist­
ance could reach them.
The alarm was quickly given And
Cyril Tyler, Jas. Henderson, A.
Gimse, H. S. Clark and C. S. shea
were among the earliest to respond,
but ere the bodies could be 1
and recovered they had been
water for about thirty minutes, and
while Drs. Crowe, Lenont,/ Miller
and Morcom, together with/ assist­
ance from others, worked faithfully
they were finally compelled to aban­
don all hope of resuscitatioh.
Seated
inder
Both boys were well-known young
men, and in their demise Virginia
feels the loss of two of her promis­
ing youths and to the heartbroken
parents, in their irreparable loss, is
extended the sympathy of all.
Erick Albert Gronberg was the
second son of Mr. and Mrs. Gron­
berg. He was born at Norway,
Mich., May 19,1885 He was a pupil
of the Virginia school, and a gen­
eral favorite among his playmates.
His heroic action in his attempt to
rescue his drowning companion
was characteristic of his nature,
and the world can ill afford the loss
of such dispositions. His funeral
was held from the Swedish Luther­
an church yesterday afternoon, be­
ing attended by a large concourse
of sorrowing friends, the remains
being laid at rest in the Virginia
cemetery.
George Steinberg was born in
Chicago on August 31st, 1890, and
with his parents came here from
Biwabik several years ago. He was
a boy whom all liked and honored,
a diligent student and a boy of a
most promising future. The father,
R. Steinberg, accompanied the re­
mains to Duluth on Wednesday, for
interment in the Jewish cemetery
at that place.

An exchange gives the following
good advice to parents: "Put your
boy to work it he is not in school.
If there is nothing else for him to
do put him to whitewashing the
back fence, keeping the lawn mow­
ed and cutting the winter's supply
of wood. Anything is better than
loafing about town at the rear end
of a cigarette, learning evil habits
and contracting all vices that are
afloat to catch idlers. No honest la­
bor will hurt your boy, but the evil
habits he may contract in the streets
tnay kill his soul and poison his
moral nature so as to make him a
detriment to the community in
which he lives and bow down his
gray-haired parents with sorrow.
If the fathers and mothers of today
would only learn the importance of
training their sons so as to be in­
dustrious and keep them off the
streets, the coming generation
would be inestimably better for it."
While in the city Wednesday Hon.
Neil Mclnnis, county commissioner
for this district, stated to an Enter­
prise reporter that he had just re:
.turned from a tramp over the moose
trail between this city and McKin­
ley which h?s ofttimes been erron­
eously referred to as a county road,
and that he expected to- be able to
obtain a liberal apportionment for
the improvement of same. The
finishing of this piece of road would
be of inestimable value to the com­
mercial interests of Virginia, bring­
ing thousands of dollars, now di­
verted into other channels, into lo
calr business houses. The comple­
tion of the road cannot, therefore,
come too quickly to suit Virginia
and Virginians.
Dr. Spratley, the dentist, will re­
turn to the city early in August,
and in future will spend tne greater
portion of. his time in Virginia.

It is not often that the gambling
fraternity run up against a "bunco"

of one of Virginia's joints upon two
occasions last week, being taken
into camp on Wednesday afternoon
for all in sight and again on Satur­
day evening, the bank roll having
been strengthened

Officially published in The* Virginia Enter­
prise in the issues of April 25 and May 2,1902,
their occupation in this city, it was
not until the bank had been put on
the hog for the second time that the
management became convinced
that nobody's legitimate luck was
entitle^ to beat a sure game for so
big a roll, and commenced to look
up the possible cause. And it was
found—a search bf the roulette
wheel when taken apart revealing a
fine wire attachment which had evi­
dently been used in connection with
a pocket battery for the purpose of
attaining desired results.
But while the search was in pro­
gress the young man whose clever
ingenuity had won the coin, realiz­
ing that discretion was the better
part of valor, left the city—carrying
with him a wad which would have
been a sufficient incentive to lead a
strong-arm man a long ways on his
trail,could the trail have been found.

Dr. J. L. Gunderson, dentist, was
in the city Saturday, completing ar­
rangements for opening permanent
dental parlors here in the near fu­
ture. Dr. Gunderson is a graduate
of the University of Minnesota, and
comes to us from Kenyon, where he
is now located.
Together with its environments
Virginia offers exceptional induce­
ments to a resident dentist, and we
believe the field will be found a lu­
crative one.
