THROUGH THE ICE

Young Leavenworth Society People Drowned While Skating

Leavenworth, Kansas, February 12 - Yesterday afternoon a party consisting of Grace Phillips, stepdaughter of Judge Ide; Susie B. Anthony, daughter of Colonel D. R. Anthony; Harry Jewett, son of M. M. Jewett and Edwin Pierce, son of C. B. Pierce, left the high school building for the purpose of having an hour's recreation in skating on a pond on the farm of J. C. Stone, Jr., four miles south of the city. They had no more than entered upon the enjoyment of the occasion and had hardly reached the middle of the pond when the ice gave way and all four were thrown into the water. Susie Anthony and young Pierce immediately sand and were dead before aid reached them. Young Jewett and Miss Phillips were rescued, but not until they were thoroughly chilled and their lives for some hours were despaired of, but the latest information is that they are now out of danger
