Drowned in Otter Creek.
West Union Gazette.—Ira, the 13-year old son of Mr Sliter, who lives on the Frank Lovell place near Brainard, was drowned Sunday while bathing with a number of boys in Otter Creek. The circumstances seem to indicate that he was siezed with cramps or something of that nature, for without warning he caught one of his companions and the two sank. His companion managed to release himself and get out, but the Sliter boy did not rise again.
