she were going to fight for the cham

Realizing this and the large amount of money

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
a SludeuG of The University browne"
While Bathing.

On yesterday morning, while number OIL
students from the East Tennessee university
were bathing in the river, one of the NUMBER
John Henry, of Humboldt, got beyond his
depth and drowned before assistance could
reach him. The deceased was eighteen or tWen-
ty years of age, fine looking young man, re-
markable for his hight which was six feet
seven or eight inches, and was highly esteemed
bv his fellow students.
The Faculty of the College are very particu-
lar with the students and require them to be &C
companied by an officer while in bathing, and
only those who can swim are permitted TO go in
where the water is deep, while those who can
not, 60 in a short distance below, on a bar
where the water is shallow for considerable
distance, 1t was at the latter place where
young Henry met his death. He was Wading in
company with others, and after going out some
distance from the bank he stepped off the edge of
the bar, where the water was twelve or fifteen
deep and the current rapid, and not being able
to swim called for aid, eXclalmlng that he was
drowning. Unfortunately none of those with
him were able to swim, and the young man
nearest to him had narrowly escaped q similar
fate, stepping off near where Henry did, but
managed to get out, and his friends were forced
to be spectators of his death, being utterly I'M
able to render any aid whatever.
An old colored man named Holly was fishing
q short distance below and came up us soon as
he realized the need of his presence, and as
soon as they could number of the students
who could swim arrived and strenuous efforts
were made by them, by diving to rescue their
comrade, hoping to do so before life was eX
tinct. But their efforts were futile and they
then procured boats and the aid of experienced
river men with seines and grapnels and drag
ged the river
The news flew like wild fire and large crowd
soon assembled at the scene Of the accident.
Without making invidious selections where so
many rendered assistance, the conduct Of Cadet
Lieutenant Sam Boyd is deserving of special
notice Numbers of citizens were working all
day, and showed by their actions the liveliest
sympathy. Mr.. Sanford procured fat boat
and with a man at each end it was placed across
the stream, while a strong force with poles and
hooks dragged the river for hundred yards
down stream This was kept up until sun
down, as was also the working of number
of others in small boats, when the darkness
prevented continuance Of the search,
The parents of the deceased were notified of
his death and they are expected TO arrive to-
night.
At night the cadets held Il meeting. the pro-
ceedings of which we give below. 1t will be
seen that the search for the body will be kept
up until found
