MOTHER FAINTED AS HER SON DROWNED.

MOTT, N. D., July 3.—While bathing in the Cannon Ball river, Lloyd, the 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Van Houten, was drowned, after being seized with cramps. The boys were too frightened to give the alarm promptly and ilt {sp} was nearly a half hour before the body was recovered. For a time it was not learned who the boy was and when it was rumored that the boy in the water was Lloyd, his mother was taken to where his clothing lay. She took one look and fainted.
