FATAL Fool HARDY FSAT.-A Chattanooga
(Tenn.) correspondent Of the Detroit Tribune gives
the following:
Three days ago a young man, whose name did
not learn, private in the 18th Pennsylvania In
f,niry, fell from that point of Lookout Mountain
known IT'S Point Lookout, distance OF some
eighty feet upon nd Of table that is formed In The
mountain, about that distance from the top. Lf
course he was killed. The victim being photo
apher, had been allowed to erect a tent, while
his regiment was stationed On the mountain, and
Practice his profession. When his regiment WAS
ordered from the mountain tie wLs lowed pcfmiis-
sion 10 remain, Us he had been to some expense in
getting up stock and apparatus. Sad TO relate, he
was given to the intoxicating cup, aud was often
in state OF drunkenness.
hilc In such state he was foolish enough 10
run around the extreme edge 81 the rock for the
amusement Of visitors 10 the mountains. He had
done this SO often while drunk that he got care
less 10 do II while sober, aud Oh the fatal day
am told he was perfectly sober. In the presence
of a lady and her husband he stepped 10 the ex
treme edge, and placed the palm of Of bis feet
On the edge and attempted IL bring the other with
when small piece OF the rock broke off. 1t was
enough to throw him of iis balance, and sway him
backwards, and precipitate him to the dizzy height
In falling he attempted 10 catch the skirt OF the
iaiy's dress, but with great pgeseuce of mind she
drew back and saved herself the same fate When
the unfortunate man found he was quite dead.
His neck and back were broken, literally snapped
