 , As Joseph Bertrand was returning rom his work at the electric light tation yesterday morning he made a ,hastly find. A short distance this idle of the plant he saw. the body of man in the pond, beside the rail- oad track. Investigation showed it 0 be William E. Shea, engineer for he local electric light company, who ad been missing since last Saturday. The pond had been drawn down during he night, or the body would not have 'eens discovered at the time, as under loEmal conditions the water is several eet deep at the point where the dis ,overy was made. The last seen of Shea alive was Saturday evening, when he left Chapman's store to go to he station. The Block Island train was little late Saturday evening, and judging from the time the deceased started to go the the station he was probably struck by it. The track is close to the pond at the place where the body was found, and the theory is advanced that the engine struck him and dashed him into the pond. Medi- gal Examiner Newton was called to view the body and his opinion is that the man met his death in the way and his official report is to that effect. The mans injuries con- sisted of a terribly fractured skull and his left arm was broken. The rest of the body was not injured. MT. Shea ,ame here to work in March, and was s capable man in his business. He lad previously worked for the Central Massachusetts electric company at Pal ner for several years. The deceased vas about A years of age, and leaves ! wife and three children. He resided ,n Grant avenue. There were rumors ,n the street the first of the week that le had disappeared, and foul play was tinted. In the light of later develop nents there seems no room for any ueh theory. His wife was out of own at the time the body was found. She had become alarmed at his ex- ended absence and had gone to Palmer  O see if any trace could be found The death is a very sad one and the 'ereaved family have much sympathy.
