HIS BODY

There seems to be little doubt
that Alexander Edmunston, the
newsboy who was seen struggling
in the water at dusk last night near
the Washington street bridge, was
drowned.
Mrs. Frost, who lives in the
neighbOrhood, saw the boy strug.
Cling on board in the water and
sent a boy who is strong swim
mer to his assistance. 1t was too
dark to see clearly and the swim
mer failed to locate him.
Alec Macdonald, the detective,
was sent to investigate the case,
when Mrs. Frost reported to the
police and said that the board had
been found near the Washington
street bridge.
The body has not yet been re-
covered. Edmunston lives on the
river near the Diamond ice plant.
