Two Brothers Break Through the Ice in Leaf Valley and Both Drown.
A Third Brother Has a Narrow Escape.
The second drowning in Douglas County of boys while skating occurred last Thursday, scarcely a week intervening since the drowning of the Johnson boy in Hudson. Three brothers by the name of Ellis were skating on Indian Lake in Leaf Valley when the two youngest, aged about 11 and 14 years, broke through the thin ice. The remaining boy made a frantic effort to rescue the others, and would have been drowned himself had not relief come just as it did.
