Fatality at Ockonook.

Robert McCarter, a highly re-
spected citizen of Ockonook, was
dro Hned at that place last Thurs
day evening. He and Messrs. Bill
lings and Fisher were in a row boat
removing some drHt-wood that had
lodged against the Quarrie Hotel,
threatening its distraction. The
river had reached a very high stage
at Ockonock and YES up to the End
story window of the hotel. The
boat was swept into the raging cur
rent that runs by the hotel and
capsized. McCarter went down to
watery grave. Billings got
tangled in the rope and had very
narrow escape. Fisher reached
shore with less difficulty. Nc
Carter was well thought of and his
death casts a gloom over the entire
community.
