Four Drowned While bathing.

Waterloo, Ia, Sept. 14.-Rev. Scott
Hyatt and wife, Royal Mcqueen and
Miss Mae Tibbets were drowned in the
Cedar river, near Waverly, Sunday.
The party went on an excursion, and
as they had not returned at night
search was made. Their lunch, ham,
mocks and wearing apparel were found
on the river bank. Early in the morning
the bodies of Mr.. Hyatt, Mcqueen and
Miss Tibbets were found in deep pool,
clasped together. About 10 o'clock Mrs.
Hyatt's body was found 900 yards be-
low, caught in a barb-wire fence. The
theory is that Miss Tibbets and Mrs.
Hyatt, who were sisters, got beyond
their depth; that the men tried to save
them and all were drowned.
