DROWNED In THE BAY.
Dumont Believed to Have Lost His
Life Near Riverside.
Was Seen to Fall From His Ca aiboat While
furllng Her Sail.

John c. Dumont was probably drowned
in the bay off Riverside yesterday He
was the owner of cat boat and the boat
was observed coming up the bay yesterday
afternoon under full sail. 1t was blowing
heavily and the water was very rough.
The boat was observed from the shore
and experienced sailors were of the opinion
that the occupant of the craft was sailing
recklessly. The boat sailer evidently came
to the same conclusion about this time,
for he came to and let go his anchor pre-.
paratory to furling sail. Stepping aft to
oegin the work, those on shore saw the
man fall overheard and disappear John
Very, George Miller and Charles Simmons
saw the accident and they secured small
boat and attempted to row out to the
mans assistance, but after a sturdy strug-
gle and not being able to go third of the
distance against the stubborn wind and
high rolling waves they gave the attempted
rescue up.
Residents Of the vicinity gathered on the
shore and watched the boat in distress
with the hope of seeing the man who went
overheard, but he did not appear again
He was drowned. A hat and pair of oars
drifted shore and that was the only mes
sage. After the wind had subsidized
Charles Simmons and John Very rowed
out to the cat boat and towed il to safe
anchorage near Pleasant Bluff. Police
man Munroe was taken to the boat and
search of the craft showed that il had been
used as the permanent dwelling place of
Dumont. Some of the clothing bore this
namc and Masonic and GrandArmy badges
were found on the garments. The papers
identified the man who was drowned
One OF them was addressed to John c.
Dumont 9S7 Eddy street and an enquiry
was rewarded by finding out that such a
person lived at the place indicated more
than year ago. 1t is presumed that he
went to Bristol from this city as papers
were directed to him in that town.
Receipts were also found for payments
on the boat that was picked up and from
which the owner lost his life. The
drowned man was about 30 years of age
and apparently earned his living by the
tlu oil the boat

resolution to defend the Rusie injunction
case against the New York club. The
noted pitcher. after year of idleness and
rebellion, has gone into the United States
court at Trenton and asked for an injunc-
tion to restrain the aforesaid club from re-
serving him from year TO year. Should
his petition for an injunction be granted
and he be permitted To sign a contract
with another club, the reserve rule, ao-
knowledged to be the foundation and very
life OF professional baseball would be de-
stroyed. The League has simply forestalled
u possible verdict in his favor While all
efforts will be made TO defeat him before
the court favorable decree will do Rusie
no good. The New York club will release
him, and then he'll be supposed to be dead
TO the profession. No League club will
offer him contract and no court can COM
pei it to do so. And as long as no League
club will recognize his professional exist
ence no national agreement club will do
10 either. This noted rebellious pitcher is
kicking against the pricks.
The amusing part OF his suit is his plea
10 the court that the New York club by
reservation is preventing him from earn
ing living at his profession. At the
same time he acknowledges that he has
the clubs sigred contract ready for bis ex-
ecution any day, Offering him s2, 400 for six
months service. Within the last fortnight
there have been in Washington some IL, 900
citizens who will not accuse President Nc.
Kinley of preventing them from making
living by Offering them s400 a month
job. Nor will they go 10 court and ask for
an injunction 90 release them from such
an offer. Most Of them would accCpt-yS0
month, agree TO reservation forever
and find no fault. That's where they
differ from Pitcher Rusie.
