STORY OF DEAD MAN.
The talk OF the supposed drowning at
Green's island Sunday of quahaug trader
was stll heard here. as William Sher-
man saw the body of the apparently dead
man carried ashore. He says that two
friends Of the man worked on him but
did not bring him to In half an hour. IL
Is probable though that the man came
to consciousness soon after he left. as
there was no trace of the body on the re-
turn OF the spectator
As Coroner Christy was not notified and
there was no report Of death at War
wick the logical belief is that the man
recovered. but there are those that ex-
press their opinion that the fellows body
was smuggled away by his friends with
out notifying the authorities.
