Two men students and a former girl student of the University of Michigan were drowned in a canoe accident on the Huron River here late last night. They were Miss Ella Rysdorpe of Spring Lake, Mich.: Henry Bacon, of Pontiac, Mich., and Arthur [Archibald J.] Crandall. of Portland., N. Y.
Their canoe had been wrecked on the rapids near a dam above this city. Crandall, an expert swimmer, left temporary safety to summon aid for the others, and was swept over the dam. Miss Rysdorpe sank from exhaustion, and Bacon lost his life in saving the fourth member of the party, Miss June Hicks, of Detroit. [ this presumed to have been Priscilla J. Hicks ]
