Last night about eight O'Clock q

mill race under the plank covering
Il 6eeornsro Of Hard SqnA szvsaa
The einsahs ~sesersncs en- osly d
accounted for By hist eng fsstiS a.
inebriate. Itappcars that he came
from the direction Of knight Bros.
livery stable and either crossed the
street at the corner, and fell in as he
walked up the plank coyefing 70
ward the jewelry store, or be crossed
directly from the stable and walked
delibssately in. At the upper end
OF the bridging over the race there
Ia no railing or banister to hinder
any such calamity, and the unfortu-
nate man Wa it, dfst vicfim.
The CURRENT IL very strong 1T that
place and although several men
saw him fall In; he could not be
rescued until he had Passed through
the entire culvert, which took about
two or three minutes. 49,. e@-
John knight and Frank Halliday
were at the south end Of the culvert
and took the man out as soon ~ he
came through.
Several bruises were found on his
head, but none seemed sufficient To
have caused his death. a.Ia. o.
The water was soon pumped out
OF him and DIR. Beckford summoned,
but life was 50 far extinct that In
four minutes after he was taken
from the water his pulse ceased to
beat. The body was taken 70 the
undertaker's and prepared for inter
ment. He Is evidently man who
has dissipatej himself, from al. cir
cums;ances surrounding the case.
S22.l5 were on his person, part Of 1t
In \ buekskin sack and part In a
buckskin purse. In the purse were
some badly worn papers, one badly
olotched written on q ID. Or. q. II.
message heading, dated I2.lO-9 Pac.

from that, as II was badly torn. A
receipt as follows was In the pune;
"Decsmber eth, ESQ. Received from
George and James Smith $3.50 for one
monihs rent N. G. ROBERTS,"
He wore a dark colorei shoddy
sack coat with yellow threads run
ming through IL, number eight bro
gan shoes with buckles, oyeralls,
dark shirt and light-colored tie with
brown stripes, q pair Of glaze gloves
was in his pocket, also two pocket
knives, box Of salve and some
pills. '- y % -t
He is a little bald and evidently
about 80 years cid.
Ii is evident that he Is q railroad
and possibly will be iden-
titled before he is buried. There
should be some protection about that
place, screen or something else to
prevent child or person passing
through.

social evils.
