The body Of young Holt, who had been
missing since Wednesday, was found late
Saturday evening about three miles below
town, and within thirty feet Of where the
skiF had lodged. Doubtless he was
drowned sometime before McCloy met his
death from cold and exposure. The fun
oral services were held yesterday (Sab-
BATH afternoon and were attended by a
large concourse OF people. Rev. Wm. D.
Wiley conducted the service.

selves to abstain from intoxicants hereafter
while against the parties who arc slyly en-
gagged in the illegal business there Is uni
versal cry Of Indignation. This Is the feel

subject. Those who are dealing out hard
cider, mixed wines and other drinks are
held equally guilty with the regular liquOI
dealers.
