DIVER TO BEGIN SEARCH
Dead Bodies of Ed. FIorea and Fran.
CHS Johnston Have not Been
Found.

A Connersville man in the city yes.
terday stated, that the search still
continues for the bodies of Edward
Florea and Francis Johnston, the two
prominent young men of that city who
were drowned on the Whitewater
river last Saturday.
The bodies now have been in the
water five days and 1T is expected
that they, will rise after the ninth
day.
The Elks at Connersville have com.
municated with Diver Erhardt at Gin
cinnat and he will start systematic
search of the river bottom as soon
as possible.
A coat was found on the river bank
Wednesday near the George Cain farm
and it was thought for a time that
1t was the property of one of the miss
ing young men. G. c. F1orea, father
of Edward Florea, however after ex
aiming it, stated that it did not be-
long to his son and he doubted that
it was the coat worn by Johnston
1t is thought 1t was left there by one
of the searchers.

his face, deliberately set fire to his
