         Three Drowned
         
         A Grand Rapids Lady, Her Daughter and
           Granddaughter Perish
           
         Marquette, Mich., April 29 - MRS. MARY POST, her
       daughter, MRS. PAT FINLEY, and little ETHEL FINLEY,
       were drowned in the Autrain River in Alger county
       some time last Friday afternoon. They were missed
       from home and a boat was also gone. The bodies of
       all three were found in the river Sunday morning.
       It is believed MRS. POST had, while walking out to
       FINLEY'S house from Autrain, grown tired of carry-
       ing her large satchel and left it at the bridge a
       quarter of a mile away; that she, MRS. FINLEY, and
       the little girl then took the boat as the easiest
       way to bring it in, and that the swift current 
       drove the boat on a hidden ledge and capsized it.
       MRS. POST had been housekeeper for W. L. WETMORE,
       of this city, all this winter and had just returned
       to Autrain.
