D., was drowned shortly after five o'clock Saturday evening while fishing from a small boat. Mews, age 35, with three companions, Oren Amy, Ed Holten and Monte Moore, arrived in Baker at one o'clock Saturday afternoon and pitched their tent near the ice-house on the lake shore Mews struck up an acquaintance with H. 0. Helland who was fishing nearby. He borrowed Mr. Helland's pole and taking a small white canoe paddled out into the lake. The only person who saw Mews at the moment he pitched headlong into the water was a ten-year-old lad, Ray Hawkins, son of Mrs. Anna Hawkins, who is employed in the City Bakery. The boy was sitting in the front yard of his mother's home some distance away. Mews was standing up in the boat. Oh Mother! he cried, a man's fallen out of the boat. Mrs. Hawkins was sitting in the window crochetting. She saw Mews struggling in the water. He was holding onto the pole, said Mrs. Hawkins, and it seemed to me that be was trying to swim. When I saw him go down twice and then disappear the third time, I knew he was drowning. I ran over to Mr. Jasperson, who lives near us, and called to him that a man was drowning. Mr. Jasperson was preparing to go down town in his auto. He speeded over to the spot where the boat was drifting and saw the pole sticking out of the water, about 200 feet from the shore. This was perhaps, ten minutes after Mews went to the bottom. There was nothing at hand with which to make a rescue so Mr. Jasperson hurried up town and found Undersheriff Kelling. Assisted by James Wilson, the drayman, Mr. Kelling got another boat and a 16- foot pole with a hook attached, the same pole which was used for a similar purpose three years ago. The boat was fastened to a rope held by men on the shore and while Wilson steadied the boat, Kelling fished for the body. He finally grappled it, but the men holding the rope pulled too vigorously and it slipped away. Another hold was secured with better success and the lifeless body laid on the grass. No attempt was made at resuscitation as the body had been under water for nearly an hour. At this time no one knew the identity of the drowned man. The body was taken up town where many people saw it, among them a man and woman from the Yankee Robinson circus. The woman, an aerial acrobat, was sure at first that the dead man was a circus follower and she said the circus people would see that he had a decent burial. But later developments proved she was mistaken. When Mr. Helland heard of the drowning, an hour and a half later, he hunted up Undersheriff Kelling, and related the incident of loaning the fishing pole. With the officer he went to the tent and found Amy, who up to that time was ignorant of his companion's fate. The other two boys were at Webster's garage repairing their auto. The body was thus identified beyond question. In Mews coat which was left in the tent was $40 in currency and a small amount of coin, also checks.

With a companinon, Lorne Bonner, he paddled out from shore in the blue and white canoe. When in water over their heads the boys became frightened. Lorne jumped out and started to swim for shore, the boat was upset and poor little Bobbie, being unable to swim, was drowned. Lorne reached shore completely exhausted. Lorne was taken to the home of his parents, Mr. & Mrs. A. E. Bonner and after a short rest in bed was little the worse for his thrilling experience. Seen by a reporter for the Times, he related how the accident occurred. We were down by the ice-house playing this morning. Bobbie said: Lets go out in the boat. We paddled off shore and saw we were getting where the water was over our heads. We got scared and I jumped out of the boat and started to swim for shore. The boat upset and Bobbie fell in. He didn't know how to swim. I told him to try to paddle his hands, but he said he couldn't. That was all he said; he never cried out or said anything. When I got to shore and looked back all I saw was his hat floating on the water. The Bonner boy is about the same age as the boy who was drowned. Hundreds of people were soon on the scene of the tragedy. A steel hay rake was procured and the lake bottom dragged. At half past twelve the body was recovered. Dr. W. H. Young worked for a long time in an effort to induce artificial respiration but their was no hope. Glenn Miller, who runs the Trail garage on Montana street, the boy's father, watched from shore in tearful silent the score of men in their efforts to recover the body. The spot was not over a hundred yards from where Herman Muse, the young land- seeker from Canistota, S. D., was drowned circus day, June 16th. J. F. Bessert, a plasterer who was working on Pratt's house, was one of the first on the scene. He took off his shoes and went in where he saw the water bubbling, but failed to find the boy. At the time of the former drowning, The Times warned boys not to go out on the lake in the canoes. It takes experience to run them with safety. A further suggestion is now made, that the owners of the boats keep them chained to posts. The boys are too precious to make it so easy for them to put their lives in jeopardy.

With few opportunities in the way of schooling he began early in life a system of self-study that equipped him for the duties of life. He was a man of pleasing personality and affable manner and made friends easily and kept them to the time of his death. Mr. Munro was one of a large family, most of whom were present at his bedside. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Roderick Munro. He is also survived by his wife. Mrs. Nellie McClain, Mrs. John Hanson and Miss. Mina Munro are sisters. There are also several brothers The funeral services were held at Miles City and were largely attended by friends from all sections of Eastern Montana. The Fallon county commissioners, and those from Ekalaka were also present. The untimely death of County Commissioner Munro comes as a severe shock to the people of Fallon and Carter counties. Following the accident near his ranch, fourteen miles from Ekalaka on Fallon creek, he was taken to the hospital at Miles City. It was necessary to perform an operation in the hope of saving his life when it was found by the surgeon that peritonitis had set in. After hovering between life and death for several days he finally succumbed. The accident which resulted in his death happened two weeks ago while he was driving in a bunch of cattle. His horse stumbled and fell, the horn of the saddle striking him in the groin. He was picked up unconscious and at first it was not known whether he was struck by a bolt of lightning or whether the injury was sustained in the manner stated. He was removed to the Miles City hospital Monday, a week ago, and the only hope seemed to be an operation. Munro, Mrs. Roderick Paper: 12-1918 Page: 1918-11 Mrs. Roderick Munro, one of the early settlers of Eastern Montana, died Sunday morning at her home near Ekalaka after an illness of several weeks. Complications following influenza was the cause of the death of this estimable lady. The deceased was born at Fannich Roshire, Scotland, July 7, 1855, and was thus 63 years of age at the time of her death. She was married to Roderick Munro at Port Stanley, Falkland Island, South America, February 4, 1878, and resided there about ten years. About thirty years ago the family came to the United States, and settled near Ekalaka where they have since resided. Mrs. Munro was the mother of ten children, two of whom preceded her to the Great Beyond some time ago. The husband and eight children survive the departed. During her long residence in this part of the state Mrs. Munro made many friends and probably had a wider acquaintance in this section of the country than any other woman. She was loved and respected by every one who knew her and her death is a great shock to the community in which she so long resided. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at Ekalaka and the same afternoon the remains were taken to Miles City for burial.
