Drowned.

Drowned
Eddie West. aged five Years, son OF
Charles West. of Paddock Village. was
drowned in the Passumpsic river in this
place. last Thursday evening. June Goth.
Eddie had been in the habit of playing
about the new bridge AT Paddock vii
larc. and WAS noticed there Thursday
by the family who live directly ut the
east end of the bridge. As many times
before. the woman cautioned him about
going too near the river. When his
father went home from work at six
o'clock. Eddie either purposely or ac-
cidcmtally. stepped down between the
ahutment and Morris shop, and was
unseen. Afterwards he came up upon
the street at the end of the bridge and
was seen for some time playing III the
sand with Il piece of "rdging thrown
out from the sash shop. Meanwhile
his father went home. ate his supper,
and then. Eddie not returning. Went Ia
look after him. He came down tu
Morris shop and made enquiries. and
soon learned how he was seen at the
end of The bridge as late as half-past
six. Search was at once commenced in
the river. and after dark continued with
torches. and about nine o'clock the boy :
body WAS found in deep water Il little
way below the east end of the bridge.
1t is SURPRISED that in throwing some
thing into the river. he either fell from
the bridge. or the wall which extends
from the ahutmtmt to the sash shop
neither having amy guard whatever.
