CAYUGA
-Newman Atwater, of Black Rock, started last week to Cross Cayuga Lake,
and nothing has been heard of him since, except a broken car. He was 73
years old.

-One day last week Newman Atwater, an old gentleman who resided
at Kings Ferry, borrowed a boat of L. C. Bradley, and started for a trip
across Cayuga Lake. Soon afterward a heavy wind and rain storm arose
and it is feared that the boat was capsized and its occupant drowned.
Nothing has since been seen of either man or boat, but one of the oars
was found floating upon the water.
