NORTHPORT

A sad tragedy happened in Northport Monday afternoon. BICKFORD BRYSON, son of FRED BRYSON, guard at the Internment Camp, Amherst, was drowned. He was swimming in the river. DICKSON PIPES dived for the body and brought it up from the bottom of the channel. This should be a warning to the kids climbing about the boats.
