Henry w. Miller, started from town with
four companions to Kestler's mill, two
miles to the south, to 60 10 bathing. II
was q race to see which could get there
first, and they ran nearly il not quite al
the way. Arrived at the pond they un
dressed hastily and plunged into the
water q little over their beads, and al
Eddie Miller struck the water his com
psuions saw q change come over hi'
countenance. He sank like lead, without
o struggle, aud rs he rose, after lapse o.
two or three minutes, Clarence Steele
who had tried the water and come out
caught him aud dragged him ashore. The
youth took o step or two, gasped once OF
twice, aud died. 1t seems hardly probable
that death was due to drowning. Ply
sicisns think it more likely that the re
vulsion caused by plungiug into the cold
water while 10 an oyer-heAted state, threv
the blood upon the heart lu such quantity
aud With such suddsnness ss to cause
congestion. The interment was in Oak

saddest that has ever occurred in oul
