"A years of age, who has long been in
charge OF the tap room at Reyman's
brewery, complained of feeling i'll. Mr..
Fred Happy wanted to send him home
in a cab, but he declined, and late in the

not reach home, and his family became
uneasy, and search was instituted for
him and kept up all night, but without
result.
Saturday morning about s o'clock q
party OF boys found his dead body frozen
stiff standing upright in the creek! He
had probably wandered too near the
bank aud fallen over. He must have
died from exposure, as his head was
above the water. Being weak from age
and illness lie doubtless WIS unable to
climb the bank again after falling.
