. —About the most laughable thing we have heard for some time occurred yesterday, at Labe Manitou. Franir Skinner, of Maey, and H. M. f^ng, of Indianapolis, weighing 265 and 245 pounds respectively, were rowing when suddenly the boat tipped and both heavy-weights were plunged into the water, floundering around like big buffalo fish. .After arising to the surface, snorting, spluttering and spitting like sperm whales, Skinner glared at King and said ‘ ‘You d-d-d-did it.” King, looking like a largo rhinoceros, roared like a sea lion “Y-o-u did it.” Both men found thev could touch bottom and still keep theirnoses out of .water, so they waded to shore and stood around in the sun until their clothes dried.
