DROWNED IN WHITE RIVER
c. A. White, with the Kansas City Portrait
Co., Crowned While Bathing.

Friday forenoon c. A. White, can
vassing agent with the Boyer Portrait
Co., Of Kansas City, was drowned in the
river at this place, at "A point halfway
between the mouth of Swan and the
ferry landing.
The deceased came here the first of
last week with Messrs. AshmOre and
Puntncr, engaged in the same work
with him. Friday morning he did not
90 to work, and in the forenoon went to
the river with Uncle John Hilsabeck
and Il travelling salesman named John.
son, against whose protests he disrObed
and plunged into the water, declaring
he could swim to the Mississippi He
swan across the river, then turned, and
had returned to within few yards Of
the shore when. without struggle or
outcry, he sank in about IL feet Of wa.
ter, to be seen no more alive. He was
intoxicated at the time he went in.
In few minutes men In boats were
searching. for the body, which was
found short time after noon, lodged
ON trotline not far above the ferry,
about an eighth of Il mile from where
the drowning took place.
The authorities were unable to reach
his relatives, and interment was made
by direction and at the expense Of his
firm, in whose employ he had been for
about ten years. Saturday afternoon,
in the Forsyth cemetery, in the pres
cncc of Il little company of people mov-
cd by duty and sympathy, after song
and u prayer, the dust of the departed
was consigned to its final rest.
1t was thought that note found in
the dead mans grip might point to sui.
eide, but Mr.. +. ID. Boyer, Of his firm,
satisfactorily explained that the note
had reference to an occasion long past.
Deceased sprung from one Of the best
families of Tennessee, was well educat-
ed, true, honest, hard.working man,
with one weakness that proved his ru-
in. His wife died about two years ago,
since which time he has lived for his
children, Il son of 10 and three daugh-
ters the oldest Of whom is lG or II years
of age, for whom it is understood he
had accumulated considerable money.
His children are with wealthy people
near Franklin, Tennessee, and our citi-
zcns will be glad to learn that they are
well provided for.

Mrs Butterfeld would never have
been located but for the fact that she
read a newspaper account OF an at

When he reappeared at the Butter
field farm after having deserted her
three months ago. and left the brave
little woman to raise 100 acres Of corn

MUCH EVIDENCE OF
RIVER POLLUTION
Police Department Gathers
Facts Against Offenders.
MAJOR SYLVESTER AT WORK
Authorities Desire to Know Who It Is
That Is Killing the
Fish.

Evidence against persons alleged to be
throwing gas tar and oil into the Po-
tomac River in violation OF the District
code, is rapidly accommodating in the Po-
lice Depa rtment, under The special direc-
lions Of Major Sylvester.
The evidence as soon as obtained is
laid before Acting Corporation Counsel
f.. II. Thomas, who has been instructed
by the District Commissioners TO BEGIN
prosecutions against the offending in
dividuals or corporations. Major SvI-
Vester said today he was certain enough
evidence had been obtained to begin
prosecutions in a short while. and that
convictions would follow the prosecu-
tions.
Investigations is stnl being made to
ascertain the cause Of the death Of hun
dreds of fish in the Potomac above Ar
acostia and I'm the Eastern Branch. To-
day Major Sylvester is having experts
examine and analyze samples of the
INKS and other fluids, the waste of which
- carried from lie Bureau OF EngraV-
ing and Printing into the Potomac. IL
Is thought that these may be the cause
OF the destruction Of the fish
Whether or not the gas tar. oil. and
ammonia prove fatal TO the fish, the
depoSltlng of such substances in the
river can be stopped because they are
specihcaliy prohibited from being put
into the Potomac by a special act OF
congress. Ii viii not be necessary to
prove that the substances kill the fish

the waters, in order 70 secure convic-
lions.
1t is the desire of the authorities.
however. TO find out what kills the fish
so that the cause, II not contained IN
the gas tar and oil. can be Obviated
Ammonia kills fish by the wholesale
and II Is thought that the ammonia in
the river is contained in the gas tar
and oil This Will finally be determined
by the reports Of the chemists on the
matter.
