The following is a special sent to

Mankato. Mimi, July 81, telling of the
drowning of Mr.. JohnsC. Miller, for
merly of Millersburg, this county:
John G. Miller, a tailor, living at
5168 Cabanne, st. Louis, and a guest
at Point Pleasant, a summer resort on
Madison Lake, was drowned yester-
day.
Accompanied by his father-in-law,
c. w. Baker, San Antonio, Tex, Mil
Ter was fishing across the Lake from
! the Point and hooked an unusually
| large fish. In the excitement he tip
ped the boat over, seventy-five yards
( from shore. Baker clung to the boat
and Miller concluded to attempt to
swim ashore. He had gone one-third
/ the distacne, when he sank. He call
ed out he was drowning, but Baker
could not swim. Miller rose five times
/ before finally disappearing.
1.-The frantic cries of both men
alarmed. the other guests fishing some
distance way, and in less than half an
/ hour Miller's body was recovered. 1t
was standing upright on the bottom in
8 feet of water.
WHICH, Cl4C OOuy was IOli6U, nO WdG6I
/ was in the lungs. 1t is concluded that
death was due to heart failure, caused
! by the unusual eXertion of swimming
in his clothes in muddy water. Four
feet further towards shore ne could
have stood with his head out.
MILLER had been unusually jOv;al
during the day. He arrived with his
wife, little daughter and his wife s
parents July z, and was planning to re-
turn next Thursday. He was 81 years
old, and leaves a grown son and daugh-
ter in st. Louis.

to WlCnnOld the sad news until today
when the family physician, DR.. H. S.
Brooks, will break the news just be
fore her mother and sister return home
with the body Of her father.
Friends and others decided that this
would be the better course, and last
night ali precautions were taken t
prevent any one seeing Miss Miller
who might inadvertently tell her of hel
fathers death.
Mr.. Miller was a Kentuckian, anC
came to ST. Louis thirty-fve years age
from Millerbsurg. KY. For many
years ne conducted a merchants tailor
ing and draping establishment at the
