His young wife died only a month ago.
and the infant she left died two weeks later.
To-day the body of his fonr-year-old
daughter Annie wa, carried to her grave.
She was found drowned within twenty-five
feet OF the house yesterday afternoon after
weary search by her distracted father.
Little Annie nad been missing since Thurs

None OF her pharmacies could tell what had
become OF her. and after q f%ruitless search
over the ncIrhbOrhoud her father reported
her disappearance to the police Saturday
afternoon.
lie was advised to drag tho marsh, and at
once BEGAN the sad task. 1t was about :
twenty-five feet of home, his rake tongs
caught rome substance.
The poor father was so nervous that lie
could not pull the rake ont OF the mud.
Two %neighbors kindly volunteered. their
assistance and IN a ome had pulled up
the body OF the missing child.
She was living face downward and her lit
tie arms stretched out AZ il she had been
trying to free herself from the grasp of an
unknown monster which was dragging her
down to death.
1t il probable that the little one while
playing on the sidewalk tel into the marsh
and was sIt!ocated before she could utter q
cry for help.
Then the body slowly sunk of sight.
Six months ago II little boy named Ryan

whether to dc It by opening the gates ut

be that which may gather at the reservoir
