THE MUSSELSHELL
CLAIMS A VICTIM
Fred Zimmerman. un Old Resident
OF this Section. browns in
River Monday Night.

While returning from Roundup to
the Newton Ranch, east OF town.
where he had been employed for
some time, Fred Zimmerman. Il
we'll known character of this see
ton. was drowned in the Mussel-
shell river Monday night. He had
spent the day in town and left for
home in the evening considerably
under the influence of liquor. He
was seen last walking down the
track by J. W. Newton. who was
coming to town. Mr.. Newton no
ticed his condition and watched
him until he crossed the bridge and
took the road which fords the river
about mile east OF town and leads
to the Newton home.
Nothing was thought OF Iimner-
mans absence until Wednesday
when some anxiety was felt over
his disappearance. Search was
instituted and about eleven o'clock
Of that day +. c. Bryant. an en-
ploye of the Newton ranch, dis
covered his body in the river 4 short
distance below the ford. 1t appears
that Zimmerman had attempted u
ford the river. but in his condition
was unable to keep his balance and
was swept away by the current
which is quite swift at that point.
Another supposition is that he
walked Or fell off the bank and met
his death in that way. The co}lnts
coroner was notified. WHO did not
deem an inquest necessary and
ordered the body buried.
