  MAZEPPA TRIBUNE, JUNE 16, 1897 DOUBLE DROWNING About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon Ben Crandall, aged 12 years and Elias Sibley, aged 11 years, were drowned in the Zumbro river near Mr. Sibley's residence, a few miles S. E. of this village. The lads were in swimming and ventured to far, getting into water that was to deep for them and being unable to swim. The bodies were recovered quickly. The one is the son of Orrie Crandall and the other is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Sibley. The parents have the sympathy of all in their bereavement. The funeral occurs this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
