Louisville, Ky. Nov. 11.-News of

editor is sitting at his home benumbed
by grief, while hundreds of kilograms
from men of national prominence al

The bond between Mr.. Watterson
and his son was an unusually strong
one. their interest in politics and ma
tional affairs being common; and the
fathers satisfaction at the rapidly
widening career of the son was great.
1t was decided that Mr.. Watterson
would not be able to undertake a
journey to New York. The body will
probably be brought to Louisville on
Friday or Saturday.

Capt. Chalker did not disturb the
grave and did not discover any docu-
ments and does not know who is bur-
led there. He is positive that the first
word was spelled Andre" and not
"Andree."
1t is thought here that possible ex-
PLANTATION of the grave may lie in the
fact that fishermen from Notre Dame
bay named Ansty fish near Cape Mug
ford every summer, and one Of these
may have died and been buried there.
Against this theory is the well-known
fact that New Foundlanders always en-
deavor to bring home their dead from
the fishing grounds. The point where
the grave was found is about three
quarters of mile from the coast. Capt.
| Chalker says he can locate it again
very easily if required. There was no

cross. The nearest settlement is 20
