DROWNED WHILE SWIMMING.
Sad Death Of q Twelve Year Old Bow
Last Evening
While Bathing in the Ohio River at
the Belmont Landing-Got Be-
yond His Depth, and Sank in the
Presence OF Companions Who
Were Unable to Render Any AS
sistance AN Inquest Held.

Yesterday afternoon about three
o'clock Joseph S. Conwell, Jr., twelve
year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
S. Conwell, who reside at the corner
of Twenty-seventh and Moyston
streets, was drown in the river just off
The Belmont Landing. The river in
the vicinity was dragged for the body,
and it was recovered about two hourh
later. When found a water-sogged
railroad tie which the boy had gripped
when he went down, was brought up
with the body. The remains were
taken from the river to the undertake
ing establishment of Frank C. Shredder
to be prepared for burial.
Acting Coroner Squire Allen held
the inquest at Shroeder's last even
ing. There were two companions with
the boy at the time, and these two
were the only witnesses examined,
since no one else was an eye witness
to the accident
Following is the story of the affair
as brought out in the testimony at the
inquest: Young Conwell, accompa-
MED by Roy Riggs and leonard Rails
ton, went to the river to swim. Con-
we'll could not swim, and the other
boys agreed to teach him Riggs took
charge of him for a while and then
turned him over to Ralston. Ralston
had just left the boy to 60 out. Con-
we'll padded around for a time and
then moved further out. He got out
too far and stepped off an offset over
Lis depth, and after vainly endeavor-
ing to regain the bank, he sank. The
other boys were too excited and
scared to render him any assistance
After going down the first time it is
probable he struck the tie and held to
it, for he did not reappear again. The
coroner's jury brought in a verdict of
accidental death.

noon at three o'clock. Three PROPOSE
ton for beer at six dollars barrel
from foreign brewers have been receiv-
ed They have been paying the local
brewers seven dollars ever since the
war tax went into effect. All present
seemed determined TO make the local
brewers come down to cheaper rate
There being no further business be-
fore the meeting it was adjourned sine

A Gnnd Memorr.

at isn't often" said the well-known at
torney, according to the Detroit Free
Press, as he smiled to himself, that a
witness gets the best of lawyer. But I
remember one that got the best of me in
way that caused the shivers to run up
and down my back.
"A good many years ago 1 was retained
upon a line fence suit between two old
farmers. 1t had been in the courts for ten
years, and bid fair to be there for ten
more unless the parties became bankrupt
in the meanwhile.
1T was my first appearance in the mat
ter, having taken the place of one of
the lawyers who died.
II was very, very young. In fact, 1t
was my first case, and I felt my import
ance more than I do now after thirty
years of hard grind
among the witnesses was an old farmer
that knew personally, having been born
and brought up in the same neighborhood
He was put on the stand to swear to
some facts that happened ten years back,
and when he was turned over to me for
cross examination l proceeded to test the
value of his memory dating so far back.
" Do you mean to say began sternly,
that you can remember mere incident
| that happened ten years ago?'
Yes, sir he answered
q" Then you mean to say that you can
| remember on certain day ten years ago
| that Farmer Dunn drove a black-and-
white COW into his back pasture?
" Yes sir, kim he answered.
"'Then, perhaps said /, sarcastically,
you can remember something else that
| happened upon that particular day?'
Yes, I kim he put In, eagerly; jes'
| after 1 saw Farmer Dunn drive that COW
| of his'n into his back pasture I wuz goin'

We saw me comm We tried TO git away;
the other kids did, but cotched We when
