Carried Over Horseshoe
Falls in Niagara River.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, Nov. 26.-An I'M
known man was swept over the Horse
shoe falls in a small boat this afternoon
after a daring attempt had been made to
save him. An employee of the Ontario
Power company saw the little craft COM

swift current. The occupant man,
was standing up. franticaily waving his
hands. Two rowboats started down the
Chippewa river toward the Niagara to
attempt rescue at the mouth of the
small stream.
+ The rescuers were far behind what is
considered the danger line. but d cross
current carried the unfortunate man
away from them toward Goat island. and
in a few minutes he was carried over the
Horseshoe falls. The wouId-be rescuers
were by this time in a perilous position,
and with great difficulty succeeded in
reaching the shore.

GRACE BROWN
NOT DROWNED
Physicians Declare Death Was
Due to Blows Received by
Unfortunate Girl.

Herkimer. y. Y. Nov. 26.-Two physi-
cisns who were present at the autopsy
held on Grace Browns body. went on the
stand at the Gillette murder trial today
and testified that the girl received blows
before entering the water. that were suf-
ficient to cause death. and which in their
opinion did cause death in this case.
These physicians Dr. A O. Douglas and
Dr. T. b. Douglas both of Little Falls,
but not relatives. declared under oath that
their opinion that she died from blows
which killed or rendered her unconscious
before her body was dropped into Big
Moose lake. They declared that there was
not enough water in the lungs of the
body 10 warrant the theory of drowning.
Could Not Be Shaken.
Former Senator Mills. Gillette's senior
counsel. conducted the cross examination
He spent several hours in an effort TO
shake the testimony of these witnesses
and while he succeeded in confusing Dr.
A. o. Douglas somewhat neither of the
physicians withdrew the opinion that
Grace Brown was killed or rendered I'M
ccTsciouS before she was immersed in the
waters of the Big Moose lake
The theory advanced by the defense was
that the blows could have been admins
tered after death. and the line of question:
ing indicated a contention that the girl
in drowning rose TO the surface of the
water three times and each time struck
the overturned skill and received the. in
juries on her head.
