Daniel Dyer. who lives nearby, and he
telephoned to Town Sergeant Bigbee
ut the Fair grounds.
chief Bigbee arrived on the scene
rhortly and with the assistance of an
ofliccr. he towed the body TO the shore
and sent word to Medical Examiner
Longfellow. who later viewed the re-
mains and ordered them to be turned
over to Undertaken Carpenter OF Olney-
vile. The medical examiner Is inclined
10 think that II Is a case OF accidental
drowning. but before coming to an Of
ficiaT conclusion ne will make a more
careful examination.
The body. which has not yet been
identified. Is that of a woman evident
" past so years OF age, for the hair
was quite gray. 1t was clothed In a
dark calico dress, black stockings and
black cloth shoes. On the bank near
where the body was found was black
straw hat trimmed with black yelling
and ribbon. The head was considerably
bruised. and there were marks OF clot-
ted blood on the face. Whether these
bruises and marks could have been
made by fall down the steep embank-
ment il question which the medical
examiner will endeavor 10 decides
Ne will make detailed Investigation

II was at first thought that the dead
woman was a Mrs Maloney. an old
lady somewhat mentally deranged, who
lives with her daughters on the hill
near the pond. This supposition was
found to be incorrect. however. and
the body is still unidentified. No wom-
m has been reported as missing i'm
