TWO GIRLS
Drowned at Sioux Falls While
Pleasure Riding
Rowboat-
in
Sioux Falls, July 15.—-Mabel Meis
nhelder 23, and Pearl Meisenhelder 20,
sisters, were drowned in the Sioux
river while out boat riding with John
Roth, 24.
At this writing 12 p. m., only the
body of Mabel Meisenhelder had been
recovered. Roth escaped drowning by
being rescued by a passing row boat as
he clung to the side of bis overturned
boat.
It is not known how tbe aocident oc
curred. Roth was frantic when ies
cued, and could not even state his own
name. The only information that be
was able to articulate was to the effect
that two girls had drowned.
Later on when he had been attended
by a physician, and sedatives admin
istered, he gave the names of the girls,
but begged his friends not to ask him
anytning more about it.
The police were notified about ten
o'clock that a drowning had occurred
on the river, and as quickly as possible
tbey were on tbe spot with grappling
hooks and pike polea to drag for the
bodies- The repoit stated that the ac
cident occurred off Parker's ice house
point.
Arriving on the scene, they distri
bated hooks, and otner tackle tn a
dozen boats that had gathered about
the place to assist in dragging for the
bodies.
The searchers were oat hardly five
minutes when P. O. Peterson,a fireman
brought the tiist body to the surface.
It was that of Mabel Meisenhelder.
The twelve boats containing fire
men, members of the police force and
citizens of the neigbboihood continued
to drag the river for tbe body of Pearl,
but were unable to bring her to the
surface.
One of the grappling irons caught in
her clothing for an instant, but the
dress gave way and the bold was lost
There is a considerable drift in the
river av that point, and by the time the
boat swong round again the men were
unable to locate the spot in the dark
ness.
Rotb gave the following details of
the drowning.
"Mabel and Pearl Meisenhelder and
I took a boat early in the evening and
rowed np the river to where there is a
boat anchored, and where a gramo
phone plays and lemonade and so fortb
are sold. We stayed there a short
time listening to the music and then
started to row home.
When we bad got as far down stream
as the Parker ice house one of thegirla,
who was iu the baw of the boat, rose
to her her feet and looked around
over the river. When I noticed what
she was doing. I told her to sit
down, as Bhe might upset the boat.
"She turned with a sort of swing, in
order that ber skirts might clear the
bout, and as she started to sit down she
limned in such a way as to pitch her
headlong into the water. Tbe other
sister jumped to her feet, and then the
boat went over.
"1 made a spring to catch the girl
still in the boat with me, and we went
into the water together, coming up
under the boat. In trying to get out
again, I lost my hold on the girl and
she disappeared. I could not find her
again and after trying until I was ex
hausted I made my way to the over
turned boat, to which I clung until
taken oft by Ray Hutchinson.
The two sifters drowned were young
people who have lived iu Sioux Falls
for a long time, and have hundreds
cf fiiends who deplore their tragic
death. The eldest of the two girls
taught school in Aurelia, la., bat the
other lived at home.
The parents of the drowned girls
are nearly prostrated with gtief.

Sioux Falls, July 15.—Sioux Falls
iB no longer tbe paradise of the divorce
seekers, but Is becoming a popular
place for elopers to come to and get
married.
When the Rock Island arrived from
the east this morning an attractive
young couple were amongst the passen
gers to be unloaded. They immedi
ately asked for the location of the

As soon as they learned of the loca
tion of the court house the bride-to-be.
who was Miss Mabel M. Deane of Chi
cago, and her companion, who was
William F. Porter, jr.. of Chicago,vis
ited one of the local dry goods stoies
where the young lady purchased a
wedding outfit. They next visited the
court house, when* after procuring a
license they went into the office of
Judge J. T. Med in and were united
in marriage.
Tbey had planned to be married
later and the bride had her wedding
garments all made bat they finally de
cided to steal a march on their friends
and avoid a public marriage so they
juietly stole to Sioux Falls and were
married amongst strangers.
On their way to the court house tbe
couple picked up a little colored urchin
who was taken along with them and
was the only "guest" at tde wedding,
and is claimed by Mrs. Porter to be
their mascot through life. A picture
was taken, and of course, the raaacot
was present. These pictuies will be
