the years of 1855. 1856, 1893, 1894. 1895

ployes of the Arm ut his comfortable

where the demands upon his system
were not adequate, and after regaining
partial confidence after the operation.

mons. His body will arrive in the city
Saturday noon and the funeral will be
arranged for Sunday. Being member
gof the local order Of Masons. the flu
neral will no doubt be conducted under

INTO THE CANAL.
James Erskine Walked
Off the Bridge.
Body Found Floating on the Water
Early Tuesday.

The body Of James Erslsine was
found floating in the canal at Lock IL,
near the p. & w. railroad bridge at 6
o'clock Tuesday morning. The body
was first discovered by some men upon
their way to work. Parks ambulance
was summoned and the remains were
picked up and taken to the morgue
where they were viewed by Coroner
Il. o. Leberman.
At the point named, a narrow bridge
spans the canal and is frequently used
by pedestrians. 1t Is believed that
Erskine accidentally walked off the
bridge during the night.
Erskine left home at 5 o'clock Mon
day evening and was not seen alive af-
terward. The body had evidently been
in the water a number of hours when
found. The Coroner will undoubtedly
find that death was due to accidental
drowning.
The unfortunate man was about 30
years Of age and resided with his aged
mother at 305 N. Maple ST He was a
machinist by trade and was employed
by the Webster, Camp s. Lane Ma
chine company.
