Lou McAbee, a forest ranger in the employ of the Kaniksu National Forest, stationed in the country east of Metaline Falls, was drowned in the waters of Sullivan Lake Saturday evening about 7:30 o'clock. Mr. McAbee and a party of friends were enjoying some sports on the lake, and McAbee and a friend were engaged in a log-rolling contest, when he slipped into the water.
The body was recovered in a very short time, and strenuous efforts made to restore the spark of life. Those present worked over the body for more than two hours, until the arrival of Dr. Hiett from Metaline Falls, who pro-nounced life extinct.
McAbee was about 21 years old, a brother of "Do*;" and Lambert, well known residents of the Sullivan Lake country. The body was shipped to the home of his parents in Wisconsin on Monday.
