Ormond Orville, aged seven years, received a present of a hand sleigh, and took it to an ice-covered . lake for a try-out. Suddenly a crash came and his horrified parents saw him disappear. The father, mother and brother each tried to rescue him and were successively drowned. Then three young men, brothers named Morgan, rushed to the rescue, taking . a boat with them, but this overturned and all were drowned. Morgan's dog ran frantically home and made such a fuss that it attraeted help, and the seven bodies were recovered.
