At the same place again thiB season, sea-son, and only about two weeks ago, the young man saved three lives. A small party had come over to Camp Lake from Kenosha and went for a sail upon the iake. There were five of them and the boat was capsized. Young Brown chanced to witness the accident and at once secured a small boat and pulled to the rescue, assisted by a lad named Frank Yaw.
