Big Fish Causes Drowning.
While attempting to land a big fish, Frank Waterbury, of Reading, Mich., was drowned in Turner Lake. He was in the same boat with his brother, and when he hooked the big one, both men stood in one end of the boat and tried to land the fish. The boat filled with water and sank. The brother swam ashore.
Stolen Bird Returns Home.
A neighbor of Paul Graham, of No. 3 Bradburn Street, Rochester, N. Y., saw a canary bird flitting about in a tree within a few doors from the Graham home. Members of the family were notified and the bird was at once identified. The bird’s cage was brought out and placed on a lawn near the house. The bird promptly flew to the ground and entered its cage.
Burglars entered the Graham house a few days ago, and, in addition to taking several articles, took the canary. The police were notified of the finding of the canary. The canary was carried away in a new brass cage. How it escaped, of course, is not known, but it evidently was taken far away.
