                           MAY HAVE DROWNED
                        
                     Two Marquette Boys Probably
                       Characters in a Lake Tragedy.
                    
                        THEIR CANOE RECOVERED
                     
                  Believed to Have Lost Their Lives 
                    Saturday a Short Distance off
                            Presque Isle.
                         
           What is believed beyond all reasonable doubt to have been
         a tragedy was enacted at Marquette Saturday last, says the
         Mining Journal, but was not known till Tuesday, although
         prior to that some fears were entertained.
           HOWARD LONGYEAR, the nineteen year old son of J. M. LONGYEAR,
         and HUGH ALLEN, eighteen years old, the son of E. W. ALLEN,
         treasurer of the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic railroad, left
         Marquette Saturday morning to paddle up to the Huron Mountain
         club in a small canoe which belonged to young LONGYEAR. They
         were last seen at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning off Gull island,
         by CAPTAIN CLEARY of the life saving crew. The recovery since
         of their empty, capsized canoe, leads to the inference that
         they were overtaken by one of the numerous squalls which blew
         that day both drowned.
