Drowned in Laird's Lake

Johnie Frieze a young lad about fifteen years old living in the town of
Black Creek was drowned in Laird's lake Sunday afternoon about four o'clock.
It seems that there was a crowd of boys and young men at the lake for the
purpose of bathing. The Frieze boy went out in a boat with a companion,
and after a short decided that they would go in bathing also. Johnnie could
not swim but his companion could, and when he jumped from the boat and
swam it looked so easy he thought would do the same thng. He went into
the water and shortly sank, when he came up his companion caught him and
attempted to save him but he dragged him down also and it was with difficulty
that freed himself from the grasp of the drowning young man.

Nothing more could be done for him. There was no one near to grasp him
as he went down for the last time. A search was made for the body which
was found Monday about 10 o'clock.
