DROWNED
Levy Bailey Not Seen Since He
Left Raft to Get Boat in
Middle Of River.

Levy Bailey, log raftsman, who
has for years handled the timber of
the Mcmillan Mill Co., from Pine Bar
rem to Ferry Pass, is missing, and the
supposition is that he has been
drowned. Parties who have been
searching for him have failed to find
any trace except his clothing on the
side of the river.
Bailey, with another raftsman
started Tuesday at noon from Pine
Barren down the river with a raft
After going a short distance, row
boat, which was tied on behind the
raft, caught on snag and broke the
rope, hanging upon the snag. Bailey
instructed the other man to go ahead
with the raft and he would go back
for the boat, so left the timber and
the. last seen of him was when he
was walking back towards the boat
1t was his intention to get the boat
and overtake the raft.
tuesday night the Otner raftSman
having seen nothing of Bailey, tied up
the raft at Moline, and went back
searching for him, fearing that some
accident had occurred. Several
parties joined him in the search, and
just opposite the point where the
boat had hung on the snag, his
clothing was found. The boat had
broken loose and drifted down the
river. e--Ts
1t is feared that in swimming To-
wards the boat he was either caught
in some thick underground or else
was unable to swim through the very
swift current at that point, and
drowned. Parties were still searching
for him yesterday afternoon.

ONE CASE TRIED
IN CRIMINAL
COURT
Joseph Parker Was Convicted, At.
ter All Day Hearing, Of
Larceny Of Hogs.

Only one case was tried in the

its deliberations and returned a YER
dict.

white man, who was before the
court charged with the larceny OF
some hogs, and the verdict of the
jury was guilty as charged. 1t was
alleged that Parker, who resides some
distance from the city, had stolen the
hogs of several parties residing in his
neighborhood. About fourteen All.
mails were missed by the owners and
traced to him. and although both the
state and defendant introduced man.
witnesses to prove and disprove the
facts, the jury found the defendant
guilty.
Carrying Concealed Weapons.
Charles Mimic appeared before the
court and entered a plea of guilty to
the charge of carrying concealed
weapons, having been caught in the
act. The Judge sentenced him to
serve three months at hard labor and
in addition thereto to pay a fine OF
s100 and costs and in default serve
another three months.
