BY the recent overflow near Sacramento,
California, Mr.. F ID Donnell, formerly of
Bath is supposed to have been accidentally
drowned. A California paper states that
Donnell took a horse out into the tules for
the purpose of driving band of horses which
were endangered by the rising waters caused
by the overflow from the Sacramento. Not
returning in due time. search was made and
his horse was found, wet all over, beside n
deep hole in the tule basin. The whole basin
was covered with a shallow depth of water.
The presumption is that Donnell rode into
the hole without observing it. The place
was dragged, but up to last accounts the body
had not been found. He was son Of the
late Arthur Donnell of Bath and was sur
veyor by profession. His age was thirty
! years.
