DROWNED IN TaE COTTONWOOD

James Martin, OF NeOShO Rapids. Finds
WAtery Grave In that Stream.
The Cottonwood seems to merit the
reputation of being aireacherous stream,
and Thursday added one more TO the
many persons who have gone down be-
meath its surface TO a sudden death.
The unfortunate victim, this time, was
jones Martin, who lived near Neosho
Rapids. 1t appears that he was on his
way to Emporia with a load of stove
wood. On approaching the ford, just
above the junction of the Cottonwood
with the NeOsho river, he
went down to the waters edge
and deciding that he would try to ford,
got into his wagon and drove in. The
horses were soon beyond their depth, the
hind wheels became detached, and the
team turned about and swan out with
the front WHEELS. Meanwhile the wagon
box, with Martin in it, fiIated off down
the stream several hundred feet TO an
ice gorge. Here the poor fellow was
drawn under the Ice by the swittcurrent.
He chung for some time tn the edge OF
the ice, but let go before assistance could
reach him.
Martin was q mulattO and Is said "a
have been quite WELT do. He wa
often seen on our streets with wood fol
sale. He leaves q wife ard seY era
children. He had been married TO hi
| last wife only a short time. Hi7 formel
wife, a. our readers will rccollect, wal
drowned about year ago while labor
ing under religious excitement. A
long search has been made for the BODY
of the unfortunate man, but it has NO
vet been recovered.
