Drowned While Fishing.

A report reached the city last even
ing that Jake Mills, an oil leaser was
drowned in Duck Creek at Warner, a
point twelve or fifteen miles up from
Marietta.
Mills and companion are said to
have been fishing. in the creek when his
companion, leaving him for a short
time. returned and saw hat floating
on the water, giving evidence that the
owner had fallen in the creek.
This seems to have been the case, as
the body was recovered later from the
creek where the man must have met
his death.
The accident, if true as reported, is
shocking one and is much to be regret
ted, the unfortunate man is said to
have been known to quite a number of
Marietta people.
