    Notes 
    • Silver Lake
      On the 3rd, while a party of eighteen young couples from Nunda were
      enjoying a picnic at Silver Lake a fatal and terrible accident
      occurred to two of the number, HARRY SANDERS, son of C. K. SANDERS,
      editor of the Nunda News, aged 17 years and Miss KITTIE BAKER of the
      same place aged 15 years, about 8 p.m. took a row boat at Walkers dock
      and started out on the Lake.
      This was the last seen of them alive. In the morning their hats were
      found floating upon the water near the Dowling Sportsmen's House on
      the east side, and later the boat in which they embarked the previous
      evening was found in the rushes at the foot of the Lake.
      The Lake was covered with boats and dragging parties all day Sunday
      and Monday without any success in a vain attempt to recover the
      bodies. The parents are nearly distracted. The search will be resumed
      to-day. It is said Miss Baker is subject to fainting spells and it is
      conjectured that she might have had one in the boat and Harry going to
      her assistance both fell in and were thus drowned. Both were bright,
      intelligent children and the affair has cast a deep gloom over the
      community. This is the first accident on the Lake in over 30 years.
      Perry, July 5. J. H. T.
      P.S. 8 a.m. July 6. The bodies have just been found. Inquest now being
      held.
