Peter Stamand, twelve years old, of
Patters »n, along with a boy compan-
ion, wus drowned while skating on the
river Monday, The two boys were
given skates for Christmas presents,
and in their anxiety to try them they
ventured on the ice, which had been
weakened by a heavy rain, The boys
were about fifty feet from the shore
when they broke through and several
persons tried to reach them. Both
sank in a few moments. Stamand's
body was recovered with a grappling
hook a short time after he sank. Men
were grappling for the other boy's
body late Monday night. No one
knows who the other unfortunate is,
