W. c. Lewis Drowned.
R,no Journal. Fs6. ..

Yesterday noon the news spread
through the town that VIM. G. Lewis,
son OF J.. @. Lewis, had fallen In the
river and was drowned. Soon a large
number Of people were gathered on the
ice where be was seen TO fall In. and the
work OF dragging the river to recover
the body was carried on with vigor,
many axes. grabhooks. ETC., being
brought into requisition. but In vein.
At last thoy spoke Of getting giant pow
der and blowing the embanknent Of Ice
to pieces. These preparations were
being made when those on watch near
the V. 4 T. bridge some distance below
at about I o'clock saw the body lodged
under some ice. II was rescued and
taken to his fathers residence. where
DIR. Dawson did all he could to resusci-
tate the body. but the GOODNESS Of the
water bad frozen the body almost solid,
and there was not o spark OF life In II.
]. G. Lewis. father Of deceased. was
the only one who saw him fall In. Mr..
Lewis was passing on the iron bridge
and saw his son 60 down TO the river
with . bucket after water. Presently he
saw him fall forward full length. Not
thinking but what be would Immediately
rise aud walk ashore, for Il was not over
two or three feet deep where.hs fell In.
Mr.. Lewis waited o moment and saw the
body rise to the surface fiat. but could
not tell whether his face was up or not.
He then knew that something was wrong
and running down the embankment to
the V fiume he hurried TO the spot, but
Jaw nothing more OF the body. He i'm
msdiately gave the alarm. His theory
il that as bis son WAS subject to fits. he
had been attacked by ~ OF them and
fell In. Deceased had not had q 1T for
some time and his folks hoped he had
recovered from them. Another theory
10 that hs slipped on the ice. He was n
printer and had been connected with
several papers In this county. He was
married In 1867 in washoo City to Miss
Nellie Hitchcock. daughter Of the min.
lister. He leaves a wife and Ave chill
dren, one only q few months old. to
mourn his untimsly death. Yesterday
was his th%irty.fourth birthday.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon. No inquest will DO held.

State Prison for the years 1877 and 1873;
that We have verified it.and that We have
found il to compare favorably with the re-
port OF the former wardens in all respects;
also that the expenses per capita has
been somewhat reduced the past two

the method Of punishment ; into all
that relates TO the commissary and med.
ical departments. TO the enforcement OF
bard labor in the stone quarry. and 10
the operation Of the several industries.
We have found that the prisoners are
treated in n humane manner ; that they
are all well provisioned and well clothed;

is equal TO the best that the profession
Of this county affords. We have found
