Information has been received to the effect
that George Coleman, whose parents reside
at Great Falls, Va, was drowned on Thurs
day evening of last week at the government
dam near Great Falls, while trying to ford
the Potomac river at that point, in com
pany with his father. From what can be
learned the men left their home to cross the
river from the Virginia to the Maryland
shore about dusk the evening named. They
had nearly reached large rock in the mid
die of the stream when the young man
slipped and fell headlong into the water
Several attempts we're made by the friends
of the unfortunate man to recover his body
but up to the present time their efforts have
been in vain.
