Drowned In a Branch.
Fort Mill special of November /, to
Charlotte Observer: The body Of David
IC. Anderson, a resident Of this place,
was found today in branch about 2s
miles above town. He disappeared on
tuesday afternoon from GrlhnS store,
while en- route with his brother-in-law
to the latter's home. There was some
uneasiness concerning his disappear
ance as 1t was thought that his mind
had been affected for sometime and
several searching parties had been out,
but 1t remained for party to come up
on his body today, as above stated. It
Is evident that he deliberately laid.
down in branch where the water was
about two feet deep and drowned him
self, as there were no signs Of a strug-
gle. The deceased was an unusually
intelligent man and for a number of
years taught school in this township,
and later in North Carolina. He NOV
ed to this place about a year ago and
his peculiarities have created much
sympathy for his condition. He leaves
a wife, who was a Miss Crook before
marriage.
