Not a Murder.

In our issue of September 29th, we announced
the death by drowning of a man named Silas N.
Noble, at Harrison. Since his death reports were
current that Noble was murdered, and Mr.. Caleb
A. Chaplin of Harrison, thought 1t advisable to
call upon Coroner Gould. The coroner proceeded
to Harrison and ascertained that on Saturday,
September 26th, Noble, who had been working in
the corn shop, went on spree with man named
Davis Both men got full and took a leaky boat
without oars, and breaking thwart for paddles
went floating round the river. They got on to the
rocks and then off again. The boat kept leaking
badly and the men had to both bail and paddle
Finally Noble made lurch and went overheard,
capsizing the boat, and was drowned. Davis
managed to hold on to the stern of the boat and
by treading water got ashore. The surgeons
thought from the appearance of Mobiles head,
when the body was recovered, that he might have
met with rough treatment, but the coroner was
satisfied that the injuries were received by the
body banging against the rocks. A jury was i'm
panelled and after a two days session hearing all
the evidence, found verdict of accidental drown
ing Mr. Chaplin was foreman of the jury.
