Word was brought to the city
Saturday night Of the drowning that
afternoon Of John Bushnell at Calliope.
Bushnell was brakeman in the train
crew at work putting in the new

stream below. He made frantic ef-
forts to keep above the water, but was
carried under before Conductor Stuart
could reach him with boat. He lived

favorable to Mr.. McInery, but the
whole status OF the case is now past
history and there is no necessity to dis.
cuss it.
