DEAD IN THE RIVER.


DEAD IN THE RIVER.
Men at work in the propagating gardens in

cred a man lying in an unconscious condition
on the river bank, his body being partly under
water. He was taken by the police TO the
Emergency hospital, where an examination
showed that his brain was affected and his right
side paralyzed. Subsequently he was removed
to Providence hospital, where he now lies in a
critical condition, it being very doubtful
whether he will recover. He was recognized
as w. s. Sheppard, a pension office clerk, living
at 514 10th street. Mr.. Sheppard is about fifty
years OF age and has been in this city three
years. He bore good reputation and was not
dfssipated. Mr.. Sheppard. it appears, went out

nuence of liquor. 1t Is supposed that Sheppard
while intoxicated wandered away and fell
down the embankment into the river. where
he was found. No marks of violence were
found on his person and his watch and jewelry
believe there was any foul play. Two empty
whisky TASKS were found in his pockets. Mr..
Duckworth had little recollection yesterday OF
what had occurred the previous night. Mr..
Sheppard Is a native of Virginia, where his
wife and family live. He had been regarded as
r temperance man, and his friends were greatly
surprised at the occurrence of yesterday.
Mr.. Duck stated to-day that he was not
with Sheppard after early hour Sunday
evening; Sheppard went away by himself II
appears that he has been at times victim of
strong drink. and suffered last winter from the
effects of over indulgence in liquor.
