tween houses and street lamps thir-
ty-five feet away. From careful ex-
aminatiOns made by a number OF Of

Alfred 81. Martin nrnwned.

Alfred ST. Martin, son of L. Michel
ST. Martin, the popular and efficient
manager of Mccall & Legendre's Nc
Manor plantation in upper Ascension,
was drowned in the Mississippi river
at point near Bougere Landing, just
above the mouth of Red river, about
10 O'Clock last Sunday morning, as
the result of deplorable accident. 1t
seems that young ST. Martin and an
other member Of the construction
force which is engaged in building a
trestle for the Texas and Pacific Rail-
road near Bougere Landing, were at
work re-fastening number of logs
that had slipped their moorings and
were drifting away, when in some
manner the pirogue they occupied was
overturned, precipitating both of the
occupants into the water. Mr.. ST.
Martin, being unable TO swim, sank
before assistance could reach him, but
his companion succeeded in keeping
afoat and was rescued. The body of
the unfortunate young man was recov-
cred abont2 o. clock Sunday afternoon,
and, after being prepared for burial,
was conveyed to Torras, where it was
met by Capt. M. F. Bradford, ofaPort
Barrow, a close friend of the ST. Mar
tin family, who went up to Torras
Sunday night TO take charge of the re-
mains. The funeral occurred Mon
day afternoon upon the arrival of the
south bound train over the Texas and
Pacific Railroad, and was attended by
a large concourse of sorrowing rela-
tives and friends, interment being made
in the local Catholic cemetery after
| impressive services at the Church of
the Sacred Heart. Young st. Martin
| was twenty three years of age. and was
highly esteemed by all who knew him.
The sad accident which ended his life
is deeply regretted by his numerous
friends in this community and else
where, all of whom will join The Chief
| In extending heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved father and other relatives.
