trouble. His clothing was found in
sycamore tree, where he had undressed,
apparently for the purpose Of bathing,
just opposite the deepest hole in the
river in that vicinity. He had never
been known to attempt to swim. His
body was found on the opposite side of
the river about 10 q. M Monday. He
had evidently swan across on a rail
found near by.
He leaves wife and two children 20
mourn his loss. He was last seen
Sunday evening at 5 o'clock by little
girl. His age was about 35 years. He
enjoyed the full confidence of his friends
and neighbors.

died yesterday evening at s o'clock at
his homo at Dunganon. He had been
in poor health for years and was taken
suddenly worse on Sunday and died
twenty minutes after the doctor reached
him yesterday Monday. He was a
member OF one OF the leading families
in this section. He leaves a wife and
nine children.
There ia protracted meeting being
conducted here by Revs. ex-Judge Kel.
