M. Myers of Saginaw, met his death by accidental drowning Sun day forenoon while bathing in the river a short distance above Sagi naw. The young man and his brother had been harvesting during the week and went down to the river Sunday to take a plunge bath, aud neither being good swimmera, Guy went beyond his depth aud was drow ned in ' the presence of his brother, who was unable to render h im assistance. The remaining brother summoned aid and a crowd of rescuers was soon on the scene. An expert diver went to the bottom in eight feet of water and brought the bodv to the surface. All the means known were used to resuaci- \ tate the youDg man, but none avail- jed. Guy Mvers was well known , and highly esteemed throughout this pan of the county and his un fortunate leath is deeply deplored bv all Funeral services were con- ! ducted at Walker Monday, and the | remains were interred in the cem- etery near that place.
