The double tragedy has cast a deep gloom over the whole township, especially in the,neighbor- hood where theywere best known. Had Planned to Ferry Over The young men left h-ome during the morning with several head of young cattle to pasture on the plains a-cross the river. They went by the twelfth line and crossed the river at Powers bridge near Jack s,Lake. It was arranged that on their return their cousins, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. McGauley, who reside on the sideroad just east of the Sunnidale road and quite near the river, would meet them and ferry them across. Unfortunately, some shermen, not knowing of these arrangements,` had taken the boat up the river. Not see- , ing them the first time, the McGauley lads made several trips to the river to tell the young men where the boat was likely to be. Thinking perhaps they had decided to do some shing themselves, sinceNorman, the young- ' er boy, had taken shing tackle along, the McGauley boys were sent still farther along the river until they .- found the shermen with the boat,| when "they learned the Seeler boys had not been seen. Onvcoming back to the boat landing, they were sur- prised to notice Scotty, the vSeel-' ers collie dog, on the opposite bank barking in an excited manner and guarding a_ bouquet of lilies which the young men had evidently gather- ed. Even then no alarm was felt, since it was still thought that they: might be `shing. When- the dog re- '. fused to leave this particular spot and , repeated `calls had brought no re-` sponse, a close investigation showed] that no foot marks leading away from the place could be found. Since theI young men were splendid swimmers,;' it was not thought probable that they ; would` go in swimming with their' clothes on, and yet no trace of evenI their boots could be found. The `Bodies {Found news had rapidly spread by ve o'clock several search parties were endeavoring to locate the missing men. A severe electric storm passed over about noon and gavehope that they might have taken shelter and would yet be found alive. However, several felt the ri- ver held the mystery, and about nine I I The -o clock- in the evening, by dragging, both bodies were found in a depth of from seven to eight feet of water about forty feet from the south bank. It is the opinion of those familiar with the currents and depth of the river in different places that. since the young men were evidently drenched from the heavy downpour of rain during the morning, they had decided to swim across with their clothes on. The water is shallow along both banks at this particular `spot, making it necessary to swim , . . [Jack Osborne, King Edward . . (Jean -Shear, King Edward . . . . (Gerald Smith, Pr. of Wales . . . .

I .Y`ITI--._,, _ ,DP' `I `I _ -_-, _. ....--C -.-\,. Both young men were of the high- est charactef and of the type of Can- adian manhood usually found in rural homes. They were well known and that` they were deservedly popular with their companions was given ev- idence by the many kind and loving expressions heard on every side throughout the neighborhood. They were` born on the Sunnidale road and attended the rural school .-and the Un- ited Church at Crow s Corners. Har- `old, the elder boy, would have soon `attained his nineteenth birthday, while Norman was in his seventeenth about fty feet. It may have been that both were overheated, the heat wave of Friday and Saturday morn- ing being so extreme, and on enter- ing the water were overcome. The bodies were found quite close. to each other, but there were`no signs that a struggle had taken place. Indeed, the. body of one was in the position he always assumed when swimming. That of Harold was found by one of his .most intimate friends, Harold Fife, while Wm. Spicher, another friend of the family, rst noticed the body of Norman. comma EVENTS Qn non 1IPl\'I9l`O vnlnlnnnvvn Kn 1 3 3c pef word; minimum 500.
