had probably ridden to Walla Walla
with a neighbor, as he had on previous
occasions, they We're not alarmed at
his absence. Sunday morning his
daughter telephoned to Walla Walla
TO ascertain if he was in the city.
Friends went to all the hotels but he
could not be located. Members of the
family then began a search along the
creek that passes through the farm
house they found his hat lying on the
bank The search was continued and
about so yards below the body was
discovered lying in the creek, where
the water was about four feet deep.
Mr.. Geaney has been in ill health for
several weeks and subject to fainting
spells and it is the general SUPPOSE
