A TERRIBLE AFFLICTION!
     FOUR PERSONS DROWNED.
     NAPOLEON, O., May 9th, 1888.
     Last evening McClellan Wheeler, of South Napoleon, received a letter from his father Robert Wheeler who lives near Stanwood, Washington Territory, announcing the said deaths of his sister, Lillie Wheeler and step-sister, Annie J. Thompson, by being drowned in the Stillaguamish river. ON Sunday, April 15th, they in company with J. B. Vancel and Ella Aldridge were crossing the river in a canoe when by carelessness he allowed the canoe to run over a riffle and upset when they were all drowned. The body of Miss Aldridge was found on Monday and Lillie Wheeler on Tuesday, and though forty men had been diligently searching for them up to the date of the letter, April 21st, they had been unable to find the bodies of Vancel and Annie Thompson. Mr. Vancel was a married man aged 40 years, Lillie Wheeler, aged 18 years, Ella Aldridge aged 17 years and Annie Thompson aged 16 years.                              H. A W.
