JOHN D. WlGGINS
WAS FOUND
ON THE RIvER BANK YEsTER-
DAY MORNING
WAS PARTLY SUBMERGED
In The Water he is Not Suffering
Much From The Ex-
WAS PARTLY SUBMERGED

Mr.. John D. Virgins who wan
dered from his home on Sunday ev-
ening was found near the Star Piano
company's factory on the river bank
early yesterday morning. A part
Of searchers who had worked most of
the previous night reached the riv-
er bottoms about seven o'clock.
Yarry Barnes one of the members of
the searching party noticed the body
of man behind some bushes on the
bank Of the river He Immediately
recognized it as that of Mr.. Virgins.
When he went to his aid he found
that Mr.. Wiggins was submerged
in the water to his waist. Mr. Wig
gins was perfectly conscious and his
first question was as to his aged wife.
A few moments after this the hat
that Mr.. Virgins wore was found
on top Of the river bluff and from
this the searchers believed that he
rolled down the river bank. The city
ambulance was called and Mr.. Wig
gihs was removed to his home on
Sput Fourteenth street. Drs. Mar
vel and Davis who were called say
that MI. ms has q good Fchance
for recovery. Last evening he did
not Seem to be suffering but could
not give a clear account of his wan
derin9s. For a man of his age his
endurance is wonderful and it is
doubtful if many younger man,
could be exposed the way Mr.. Wig
gins was and live to tell of it.
