rue Details of Guy Moore's Death
A recent letter to his mother
from Chicago, written by his friend
gives the true details of the acci
dent that caused the death of the
late Uuy Moore. It says: "Two
young men besides himself, were
out in a rowboat one day when a
terrible rain and windstorm came
up, and in their efforts to keep the
boat from turning, they were
driven toward a number of piling "
that had formerly been an old
pier. In their struggles one of the
oars became fastened between two
piling and in their efforts to free
t, the boat was overturned and tne
three thrown into the water. Each
eventually succeeded in getting up
on a piling. But while they were
afe from the waters, the boat was
- . . i 1 t n. J I
jeing tossed awu aruiea irom
them. It was a long distance to
shore and without the coat, they
must cling to tho posts during the
remainder of the day and probably
all night, or until the storm should
subside. In this desperate situa
tion, the first two boys being alrnoet
exhausted, Guy volunteered to re
cover the boat. It was a long hard '
swim, and when he reached the
boat , he was almost exhausted.
But finally with one oar, he
turned the boat and began the
return trip forcing it against the
wind and waves. Five times, the
boat was capsized and he was
thrown into the lake, finally he
managed to bring it along side the
piling and his ineDrts got in, inen
the effort was to reach shore, which
they did after a long time, and
scarcely knowing how. All were
chilled, exhausted and worn out,
but Guy's condition was much
worse than that of hi companions.
The terrible exertion and exposure
in the ice cold water developed
disease that took his life." Cor
