A sad drow ning accident occurred at Lake W a n e ta, a small picturesque lake, situated near Dundee, N. Y., Yates county, on Tuesday evening, when Delos Saunders and w i f e , , of Elmira, N. Y., w e re drowned. T h e couple had gone out in a ooat to fish, and just how the accident happened is not known at the present lime. Saunders was the son of Rev. and Mrs. C. L. Saunders, of Benton Cen ter, w here Rev. Saunders is the pas tor o f the M ethodist Church. T h e body o f Mrs. Saunders was re covered about 7 o’clock W e d n e s d a y m orning, and the body of her hus band was found about 10 o’clock the same m o rning. T h e couple leave two children, a small daughter, aged 3 years, and an infant son, aged two months. T h e lake w here the accident oc curred is about one m ile long and not a quarter o f a m ile wide, and the couple w e re staying at a cottage along its shore.

It seems that Christensen and Hos kins had becom e participants in a hand to hand struggle, fo llo w in g an argum e n t. Christensen had the co l ored m an down and was gettin g som ewhat the better o f the argu m e n t when, it is alleged, that Hos kins drew a kn ife and stabbed Chris tensen in the righ t shoulder, near £i<v and about one quarter o f an inch frou. *hje jugular vein. Dr. John H a tch was called and dressed the injury, and in the m e a n time, Hoskins had capped. M a n y new developm ent^ have com e to ligh t con c e r n in g the st-aiKin^. A thorough in v e s tigation has been conducted by the local police. Th r e e witness tyere brought before Justice O. F. Randolph on M o n d a y a fter noon-, w hich fritne^ th e y ^•testified'.' Tuesday m o r n ing W i l l i a m Hoskins him s e lf appeared and m a d e state m ents w ithout bein g summoned. Hoskins adm itted that he did stab Christensen, but that he did it in self defense and the testim o n ies o f the three witnesses g i v e sufficient p r o o f to the authorities that Hoskins did the stabbing in self defense. T h e witnesses w e r e P ierre Harris, H a r r y R icks and Thom a s O ’Connors, all o f w hom testified that they did not see Hoskins hit or strike C hris tensen, nor did they see the colored man have any k n ife or any other sharp instrum ent. T h e y also claim that Christensen started the fight. Hoskins’ story as to how the fight took place was the same as those told b y the arraigned witnesses ex cept that he did say that he stabbed Christensen in self defense a fter that person had him dow n on the ground holding him w ith one hand and beat ing him w ith the other. A l tough Christensen has been ask ed to appear and testify he has failed to do so, according to in form ation given out yesterday by the au th o r i ties. Historical Pageant Plans for the production o f the H istorical pageant, to be given the evenings o f the 28th and 29th of August at the C o unty Fair, are pro gressing rapidly under the able su pervision o f Mrs. Julia V a il Cole.

This is a com m u n ity affair and every person , in our county should be interested and feel responsible for its success. It is expected that 500 people w ill take part in it and it is the desire o f those h a v in g it in charge to draw from every com m u n ity in the cou nty so that each local ity w ill feel a personal interest in it. Peculiar Automobile Accident T h e drowned man graduated from A lb a n y Law College in June, 1923. It is a sad accident, and the sym pathy o f the com m unity goes out to the bereaved relatives. Miss Frances Arm s trong, w ho is training for the profession o f nurs ing in N e w Y o r k City, was in the boat w ith the Saunders. She, how ever, is an excellent swimmer, and succeeded in sw im m ing to the shore. Saunders was also a good swimm er, and, according to Miss A r m s tron g ’s story, he attem p ted to save his w ife, who was unable to swim. It is thought that in her struggles, Mrs, Saunders pulled herself and her Hus band under. Mr. Saunders was twenty-five years old, was a W o r ld W a r veteran and em p loyed by the Bradstreet A g e n c y . Mrs. Saunders was a daughter o f Mrs. O. C. Presler, o f Elm ira, and was twenty-one years old. T h e accident occurred about eigh t o’clock Tuesday evening.

Philanthropist Dies Mrs. M a r y C lark Thom p son, w id ow o f Frederick Ferris Thompson, o f Canandaigua, and the benefac tress o f that city to the amount o f about $1,000,000, died on Saturday afternoon, at Sonnenberg, her hand some estate, at the aged o f 87 years. Mrs. Thom p son was born in Naples, N. Y., a daughter o f M y ron H o lley Clark and Zipha W . Clark. On June 17th, 1857, she was m a rried to F r e d erick Ferris Thompson, president o f the First N a tional Bank o f N e w Y o r k City. T h e funeral o f Mrs. Thom p son was held Tuesday afternoon, w ith her em p loyees as bearers. Interm e n t was made in W ood la w n cem etery, Can andaigua. Mrs. Thom p son was d rel ative o f Spencer F. Lincoln, o f this village. on the father’s side w e re county charges; and it looks now as though eigh t m o re w e r e to be added to the county’s expense. Propagation am o n g the m e n tally defective is ap palling. T h e State o f M ichigan seems to be treating this problem in the sanest manner. T h e County A g e n t o f Yates county can only watch this fam ily and lend aid when and w here she is able. H e r job is doub ly difficult because she deals with human beings, not cogs in a great machine. The problem becomes somewhat less difficult when she has only pov erty, w ithout m ental trouble, to deal with. 'One widower, with four child ren, cam e from W e s t V irg in ia to Penn Yan, seeking w o rk in the vin e yards. He thought expenses would be less and he could keep his fam ily together. Penn Yan and vicin ity proved no cheaper to live in than V irgin ia and he had to turn to the County A g e n t for help. His child ren have been put in private families, w here he can see them, and he has found profitable work. A n o th e r case w ith a “ happy end ing” is that of a boy w ho had epi lepsy in so advanced a stage that it was at first thought he w o u ld have to go to the epileptic colony; but through the help o f the C hildren’s A id Society of Buffalo, which put him in a hospital for six months, he has been restored to his fam ily. Som etim es m o n e y is o f no avail. A fam ily needs personal attention and attention which requires a con sum mate tact. H o w e v e r the society is balked by lack o f means. It has no relief fund, except a small amount at Christmas, which is directly de pendent upon private contributions. Penn Yan and its surrounding ter ritory, o f seem ingly prosperous farms, is not lacking, by any means, in its quota o f m e n tally deficients, paupers and generally helpless. I f j you leave the state roads and turn do\\vn the less frequented highways you m ay realize m o re clearly what the county agent means by “ pauper farm ing districts, where moral and physical conditions are a,stoundin and w h y the yearly appropriation is less than half o f the am ount needed.

N o one f habits o f fish w ill douui m ent for a minute, for the trout, when on their beds, w ill fight any thing placed there, and, in fighting, the nets, are easy victim s. In the early w inter the R a inbow trout and the land-locked Salm on are netted in shallow water. This is too bad, for this specie o f fish can only be had in small numbers from the State hatcheries, and they are; extrem e ly slow in m aturing. T h e perch are taken in unbeliever able numbers in traps and nets, from, the tim e the ice leaves the lake in the spring until the lake is again frozen over the follow in g w inter. T h e season for black bass opens, too early, as the bass are still on the beds on June 16th, and w ill strike at anything m o v in g near them. A nd in the fall, as strange as it m a y seem, the bass grounds at Bluff Point al most n igh tly are surrounded w ith nets. Keuka Lake, in the past, has been a fisherman’s paradise and attracted men from near and far who loved the sport, and was the means of b r in g in g to Penn Yan and other v i l lages on the lake an im m ense am o u n t o f business, which they cannot afford to overlook. It is not too late to rem edy this it action is taken at once. M e r e ly stock ng the lake from tim e to tim e w ill not do. A n y effort along this line that is possible w ill not keep up w ith the spoilers. Penn Yan has a good, live Cham b er o f Com m erce, and 1 understand Ham - m ondsport has a good organization o f this kind. L e t them get together and put the m a tter up to tne F in g e r Lakes Association, and through this Association have the sale o f Lake trout prohibited and incidentally see that the lake gets some little atten tion from officials w ho are paid b y the State for such service.
