ADDITIONAL NOTES.
The next place visited was o. @. She.
rey's undertaking establishment, whore
the bodies of e. e. Cannon and Sam
Rabbit were.
Mr.. Shorsy stated that Rabbits re-
mains would be buried today, in the
Masonic Cemetery, and he did not
know what disposition would be made
Of Cannon's body, a. the lines were
down, and tho widow had been tsls-
graphed 10 for INSTRUCT ms, but could
not reply until the lines were again in
working order.
THAT ACCIDENT Foley.
The next place visited was che office
Of W. H. Taylor, the general Insurance
Agent, TO find out il the report that Mr..
Cannon had taken ont . policy before
starting down the sound was authentic.
On being asked in regard to it, Captain
Taylor said:
"Mr. Cannon, like most commercial
men, carried policy in the Travellers
Accident Company. Last Saturday he
noticed that his policy had expired and
came to my ofiios to have it renewed.
issued him new policy for $500. in
favor of his wife. He sat down and
wrote to his family in San Francisco,
inclosing the policy. He told me that
his father-in law was we'll of, but he
wanted things fixed 80 that, il anything
happened to him, his wife would not be
dependent on her father for support.
He then left for Snohomish. I suppose
he came back to Mukilteo, and there
took the Josephine for the Skagit, only
a few hours before the accident. Mrs.
Cannon shall receive the full amount Of
the policy, $500.
