BODIES RECOVERED.
Those of Father and Son Drowned in
White River Brought to Surface.

Much difficulty was experienced in recov-
ering the bodies of George and Burt Cooper,
father and son, who were drowned in White
river near the Washington-stree bridge
early Wednesday night. Almost the entire
night was spent in unsuccessful search
and il was not until yesterday morning at
about o clock that the body of the father
was brought to the surface. 1t was taken
to the city morgue, and thence taken in
charge by an undertaken The body of the
boy had not yet been recovered, and the
sand company insisted on running their
engines. which caused criticism among the
searchers and those standing on the bank
watching their efforts. Dynamite was used,
but nothing further than a few dead fish
was brought to the surface. Finally, how
ever, at about 1:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Duncan Beach, who had been diving
all morning, brought the body of the boy
from the water. 1t had been forced into
one of the deep holes from which sand
has been taken, and for this reason had
been so difficult TO get hold Of

preparing to start out with a balloon as an
aeronaut. Four seasons ago he success

with him when he met death, served as the
parachute leaper. Vernely was to have
served in the same capacity again.

The son of Custodian Brown, who lives in
the fair grounds, was put in the guardhouse
for a time Wednesday night. He was found
in one of the company, quarters walking
aimlessly about. When he was finally held
up by guard it was found he was walking
in his sleep.
Quartermaster Brunt now knows why the
Spanish have sued for peace. Said he: "As
long as they had only the regulars and the
Rough Riders to deal with they thought
they could eventually win. But as soon as
the word went to Madrid that the One-hun-

up the sponge.
Lieut.. Col. Ed Thayer of the One-hun-
dred-and- ffty-eighth Regiment, left town
yesterday afternoon to rejoin his regiment
at Chickamauga. When asked if he had re-
ceived any intelligence as to an immediate
movement of his regiment he said he had
received no word of any kind touching on
this subject, but was simply returning so
as to get back within the time specified in
his leave Of absence.
A few of the men in the One-hundred-
and-sixty-first Regiment do not write, and

NOT HIS BROTHER.
Robert King, of COvingtOn, Fails to
Identify a BODY.

For o. time yesterday it was believed that
the bodies of the two men who were found
dead near the Big Four tracks, at Mount
Jackson, had been identified but a more
thorough investigation proved this to be I'M
true. Robert King, of Covington, Ky. came
to this city yesterday firmly believing one
OF the men to be his brother. Descriptions
which were published in Cincinnati tailed
with the appearance of the brother and the
paper inscribed Joseph Bremen which
was found on one of the men. strengthened
Mr.. Kings belief His brother left home
several days previous to the accident with
a companion and was bound for St. Louis
to visit a man named Bremen When Mr.
King arrived here yesterday he at once went
to the coroner for permission to view the
bodies and was referred to the Indiana Med
ical College, where the bodies are At first
his request was refused. but after giving a
description which tailed very closely with
one of the bodies, he was allowed to enter.
He failed to Identify the body, though in
many particulars there was a marked re-
semblance. He has stated, however that
upon his brothers arm were his initials IL.

arm of the dead man. 1t was thought that
