Boy DRowNED.-Saturday afternoon lad
named Charles Frederick Newbegin, years Old,
was drowned in one of the ponds in the P ort-
land Company's yard. He was playing with
another lad about his own age, who was on the
other side of the fence. Newbegin did not
answer the call of his companion, who went
around to that side and found Newbegin had
disappeared. His cap was found ON the margin
of the pond, which the boy took to house near
by and left, but he made no mention of the cir
cumstance, as he was probably much fright
ened at the occurrence. The grandfather of
Newbegin, who lives on Vesper street, went in
search of him about tea time. and learned of
the death of the lad. The body was recovered
about o'clock. Coroner Hall was called and
had the body taken care of but he declined to
hold an inquest until he could inquire further
into the circumstances. George Newbegin, the
father of the boy, is in Haverhill working at
his trade as carpenter and his wife is with
him, and the boy lived with his grandfather
