Gave His Life for a Friend.

Charles kneeberg returned last evening
from Joslyn station, and gives an account
of the overturnIng of boat on Rock river
Friday morning. which resulted in the
death Of Frank Joslyp, highly respected
young man of that place.
Last Wednesday Mr.. Joslyn came to
Moline and was accompanied home by
Charley kneeberg, the young men plan
ming a hunting expedition. On Thursday
they hunted around Joslyn's farm and on
Friday concluded to cross the river togeth-
er with Victor Kneeberg and Samuel De-
vinney. They had a small boat and Victor
was taken over first, and on the second
trip Devinney and Frank Joslyn started.
When short distance from shore the
wind struck the boat, capsizlng it and
throwing the occupants into the river.
Joslyn helped Devinney upon the upturned
boat, and then attempted to swim and
push the boat to shore. He shouted to
Charley Kneeberg, who was
standing on the shore, to run
to the ferry, short distance below,
and get boat and come to their assistance.
Charley ran to the ferry as quickly as
possible, procured boat and a man to
help him and pulled back, but when they
reached the place where Charley left
JosIyn and Devinney nothing was to be
seen. They crossed the river and found
Victor, who had beer hunting in the tim~
Der and knew nothing about the occurrences
in the river. Alter searching some time
Devinney was found at the rivers edge,
which he had reached utterly exhausted
and benumbed with cold. He said that he
remembered hearing Joslyn say that he
was getting cramp in one of bis legs,
soon after which he went out of sight. The
place where he sank the water is seven
feet deep, about l30 feet from shore. A
party of men atoDce commenced dragging
the river for his body, but had not found it
at dark Friday night, since which time
nothing has been heard from the search
ers. In helping Devinney upon the boat
and perisbing in the attempt to push him
ashore, MIR. Josyln showed nobility of
character and seif-sacri6cing spirit which
is not often exhibited in these times of
grasping selfish ideas, and which is unsur-
passed by any thing in the history of man.
kind. Although Mr.. JosIyn has yielded
up his life and will be seen no more in his
accustomed place his memory will live long
in the hearts of those who knew and loved
him for his noble, manly character.
