CAT BOAT ASHORE.
Man Found In Her Unconscious From
Drink.


A cat boat owned az Fall River went
ashore near Conanicut Park yesterday af-
ternoon and Lighthouse Keeper Arnold
and others went TO the boat. They found
1t contained a man who was drunk, .and
utterly unconscious OF what was going
on.
The boat was taken to the wharf, the
man taken out and cared for. He would
not give his name, however, but his
actions were such as TO lead his rescuers
to the belief that he had companion.
In the boat were two empty lager beer
crates.
In the ca bin at the table were found
two pocket knives, which looked as IL
they had been used to eat with, and this
would indicat to that there were at least
two persons in the boat at some time dur
ing the day. MIR. Arnold, says that the
boat could not have lived more than 20
minutes more, for as IL was, the goose
neck had been broken away, the sail was
unfurled, and there wos nothing to pre-
vent her from being blown over. The
boat was the Nytis, and Is owned by the
Reed Brothers OF Fall River. They have
been notified by Nr. Arnold Of the coudi-
tion Of their property.

held in Chicago.on the 7th day of July,
resolutions were adopted without dissent,
approving the administration OF Presi-
