Its waves seemed to be rising and at
a distance looked ready to swallow

let them pass, for the actions of
neither of them had been bad. But

at the Club room, and decided TO
continue the organization. Another

the meeting are requested to notify
the club by note or verbally of the
fact. The maintenance of the

Drowned In the River /.
Body of Mr.. Hanson Found Yester-
day Aforementioned Ser
vice this Morning.

The body of Martin Hanson. sra
was found yesterday afternoon
about three O'Clock, on the river
bank at the Tomates ranch three
miles below town, where it had
washed ashore, thus confirming the
fears of his friends that the old gen
tleman had been lost in the river.
Some Mexicans found the body and
FASTENED to report the fact, and it
was at once brought to town, arriv-
ing here about seven o'clock. Ow-
ing to its having been in the water
for three days, the condition of the
body was such that it was thought
best not to take it to the family re-
sidence, SO it was conveyed to the
court house, where an inquest was
held last night. A verdict of ac-
cidental drowning was rendered
From all that could be learned, the
old gentleman had wandered down
into the garrison last Wednesday
morning, as reported in The HER
AID, being last seen about 10 o.
clock leaving the post garden and
going towards the river. The find
ing of a newspaper with his sons
address near the ietties in the
lower post indicates that he prob
ably fellinto the river while walk
ing along the bank at that point
1t was found necessary to inter
the body last night, and it was tax
Ell to the cemetery about eleven o.
clock and inferred. This morning
at half past nine, the funeral SER
vice was held at the grave. Rev.
John Beean first conducted the SER
vice according to the Episcopal rit-
ual, after which the Masonic rites,
conducted by the Brownsville lodge,
were performed, the deceased having
been a member of that order.

Martin Hanson, ST., was born in
Christiania, Norway, in 1925. He
was educated in the carpenter s
trade there. When about twenty
ivelyears old, he came to this coun-
try, locating at New Orleans. Five
years later, he returned to his native
land, and was married there to Miss
ChristinaIMaria Stentrun. In 1854,
he came.again to America, coming
to Brownsville with his family and
making his home here for many
wears. He left here for New Orleans
some ten years ago, and resided
there until recently. His wife pre-
coded him to the grave over five
years ago. One son. Martin Han
son, jr., of this place, survives him.
As related in THE HERALD, Mr.
Hanson had been seriously i'll in
New Orleans a short time ago, as
the result of sunstroke, and his son
had brought him back to Browns
vile in the hope that he might
recover his health here. But his
advanced age was against him, and
he had not fully recovered. 1t is
supposed that his drowning was
indirectly the result of his enfee-
bled mental and physical condi3
ton. Our entire community regrets
deeply this sad ending of such a
long and useful life, and SYM
pathizes sincerely with his bereayed
son and grandchildren.

south is picking mp wonderfully as an

many places that visited found this
fact attributed to the great increase
Of northern capital which has been
mourning into the south for the past
few years. The hold that works Of
fiction appear to have on southern
people interested me. Everywhere
frors Asheyille through Mobile to New

ing, and the books they read are to
great extent the historical romance
we have had so much of lately. ! am
