atives of the Deceased.
The body Of c. B. Hersey was recovered
yesterday afternoon at p. m, and sent
to St. Paul last night on a special car
which had been sent up for the purpose
by H. c. Hope, superintendent of teie-
graph Of the Omaha.
The first dispatch announcing the re-
eovery of the young mans remains was
received by Col. R. M Hersey, from
Sherman Finch and E. L. Hersey, briefly
announcing that the remains had been re-
covered at o'clock p. m. No particulars
were given, and in the subsequent mes
sages that were received by the family
not one word of detail was given as to
how and where the body was found.
The Globe correspondent at Gable,
Wis, sent the following special:
The body of c. B. Hersey was found
today at 2 o'clock, about 60 feet from
shore, in twelve feet of water. From
ten to fifteen men have since Friday
morning been dragging the lake, and dy-
Mantle was used today. The party of
Crawford Livingston found the body with
graphing irons. The body was embalmed
by William Dampier of st. Paul, and the
remains were brought to Gable and put
on a special car, which left Gable at 11:35
o. m. for St Paul. Accompanying the body
are Mrs c. Livingston, Miss Abbie
Livingston, A B. Sibley. Sherman Finch
and E. L. Hersey.
FIRST DETAILS.
The message was shown to D. B. Finch
and George R. Finch last evening, and
both gentlemen stated that 1t was the
first news that they had had of the de-
tails of the recovery of the remains. OF
the messages that were received by them
up to a late hour in the evening, none of
them stated where Mr.. Hersey's body
had been found.
Forest Lodge, Mr.. Livingston's sum
uner home, is ten miles from the railroad
station, and it may be that no reports
were brought into Gable until the body
arrived The G 0 b e's special from that
point was put on the wire at 11:3O p. m,
and the last dispatch that was received
by Mr.. Hope was dated at 9:55.
H c. Hope, who had placed the wires
and the facilities of the road at the dis
posal of the friends and relatives of Mr..
Hersey, left last night on the II o'clock
train and will meet the special some
where on the line. The messages that
We're received by the family yesterday
give little other news than is contained
in the above report. William Dampier
left Saturday for Gable, and took i'm
mediate charge of the remains when re-
covered.
One hundred pounds of dynamite were
sent up Saturday night and Mr.. Hopes
messages state that the cannonading com
menced at p. m. The last message that
was received by the family that night
was sent by E. L. Hersey as follows:
Body now on special car all ready to
&C to ST. Paul. Everything all right. Mr..
Finch accompanied remains from Lake
Nemakogan to Gable, and every detail
