KEHOE's BODY RECOVERED.
Found Floating in the River by Ne
gro Fisherman-BrOug to City.


The body of Thomas Nehoe, the young
man who was drowned in Thunderbolt
river Sunday afternoon. came to the sur
face yesterday and was discovered by
negro fisherman. The negro started to-
wards Thunderlolt with his ghast.y
freight, but on his way met Mr.. Edward
Barrett, brother-in-law of the dead man,
by whom the body was brought to the
city
Mr.. Barrett had arrived in the city from
Oferman early in the morning and went
at once to Thunderbolt to locate and. il
possible, recover The body. At Thunder
bolt he chartered the schooner in which
the party of young men, including Kehoe,
had started down the river on Saturday,
and proceeded to drag in the locality of
the unfortunate accident. This work had
been going on for some time when the ne
gro fisherman came towards them with
the body of Kehoe trailing behind his
boat. He had found it some short distance
below, floating on the surface OF Che water
and had intended bringing it into Thun-
derbo!t ana notifying Kehoe's friends.
The body had been terribly manged and
dishgured, The fish and crabs in the
river had done their fearful worst upon
it and the flesh of the arms the ears and
eyes had been partially eaten up in their
ravenous attacks. The features of the
boy so well known to many who were
in the boat at the time the body was
brought in by the fisherman and especial
ly to Mr.. Barrett. were scarcely Tecogniz-
able. 1T was a double grief to those who
were nearest and dearest to him, that
their last sight of their loved one should
have been when his body was in the hor-
rble condition in which it was found.

secluded spots were almost impossible to
find In business offices and in stores the
neat was almost as oppressive as upon
the street There was a breeze almost all
day, but it contributed little to the com
fort of the perspiring citizens. Its touch
was not a cooling one.
The thunderstorm in the afternoon eff
iected a very decided change in the at
mosphere and one that was most CRATE

ernor Sayers' Draft for 900.


Gov. Sayers of Texas has drawn upon
the Savannah Benevolent Association for
81 600 for the Brazos River valley suffer-
ers and the draft has been paid. The
Governors draft was the result of a COM
munication received by him some time
since from President j. II. Johnston of the
benevolent association, stating that the as
socia ton stood ready to honor his draft
for the amount named, provided the re-
ports as TO the destitute condition of the
people in the BrazOs valley were correct
and they sun stood in need of assistance.
President Johnston's letter was the re-
suit OF a decision arrived at by the Off
GERS of the association at a meeting called
TO consider a statement of the condition
of affairs in the Brazos valley, furnished
to the Associated Press by Gov. Savers
Gov. Savers, in his reply, stated that
the conditions in the Brazos valley were
such as to require further assistance and
that he had therefore awaited himself Of
the generous offer of the benevolent asso-
citation He also expressed his apprecia-
ton of this kindness in fitting terms.

fortunate than some others. It already

is quite probable that in the near future
it will be increased. Emory is one of the

FROM benhh vista hnrnid, NOV. s. itvs.
The profession of medicine is one
of the noblest as well as the most
important of callings and those who
adopt it, must be at once learned, of
sound Judgment, philanthropic in
disposition and interchangeable as
workers, Their reward is not al
ways money-but the silent endea.
vors of charity lend an additional
charm, and dignity to the profession
which cares for the whole human
race. Among the most able and
successful men in this part of the
state should be mentionted this gen
tlenan. He is fine type of the
high.minded aud progressive prac-
titioner, and his reputation in
professional and social circles
is an enviable one It is not
our purpose to sneak in encomium of
this gentleman To note the posi-
tions he holds is sufficient He has
had fourteen years experience in the
practice of medicine and surgery,
and is surgeon for the Colorado
Midland r. R, The Golf Mining
& Milling Co. and the Buena Vista
Smelling and Refining Co. He is
also our city and county physician,
and secretary of the board of edu
cation. Not being able to give his
undivided attention to all of these
positions and his private practice, in
August, 1896, he formed partner
ship with DIR. John Gafford, and in
connection with his partner is sur
geon for the Denver Il Rio Grande
and the Colorado Southern r. r.,
and the State Reformatory. 1t will
thus be seen that he plays very i'm
portant and honorable part here. He
is graduate of Bowdoin college,
and he also received medical train
ing at the Memphis Hospital Medical
college. He has also taken special
courses at the post graduate medical
school in New York and was for
five years resident physician at
Mercy hospital DR. Seabury is a
member of Aztec lodge No. "a
knights of Pythias and Mt Gale
Camp No11 Woodmen OF the World.
He has a wife and two daughters.
Mrs. Seabury Is popular in the
social circles of the city and for two
years occupied the position of pre-
siding officer of Wild Rose Circle
No. 3S, Women of Woodcraft.
DIR. Seabury comes from one of
the best families In Maine, his moth
er still lives at the handsome old
homestead at Yassalboro, in that
state. His father, in early days, was
one of the prosperous shipbuilders
in Maine, but afterwards engaged in
the cattle business on large scale
in Colorado, having fine ranch near
Durango.
In the history of our city his
place is shining one and the whole
community will regret the departure
of DR.. and Mrs. Serbury to lower
altitude which becomes necessary on
account of sickness in their family.
Nav the success which has attended
the Doctors labors here, follow hum
and his family wherever they may
locate.
