OF m'fATE
FOUND IN RIVER
YOUNG MAN OF RED LODGE
DROWNED IN ROCK CREEK.
Especial to The Gazette.)

M&H EF
Red Lodge, July 24.-The body Of
Edward McFate, % years old and q
well known young man Of this city,
was found yesterday in Rock Creek
about half a mile below Correy's
bridge.
McFate had been missing since last
Tuesday when he went fishing In that
vicinity and 1t is believed that while
in an epileptic spasm, Of which he
was q subject, he fell in and was
drowned. He was noticed BY several
fishermen, q short time before he is
thought to have disappeared, standing
in the sun on the rocks. The heat
undoubtedly overcame him.
Two deep gashes that we're found on
the head strengthen the belief that in
falling he struck the edge of a rock.
The water was comparatively shallow
at the place where he fell in and he
could have easily waded ashore had
he been conscious.
Excepting his fishing line and cap,
no trace Of him was found until yes
terday. Tuesday evening when he
failed to return home, his family was
%disinclined to believe that he had been
drowned. His prolonged absence.
however, caused a search to be prose-
cuted. n
The deceased vas very popular in
Red Lodge, having a wide acquain-
lance. He had worked In the coal
mines here for a number Of years. He
leaves a mother. Mrs. William Ian
ters, and a brother, John McFate, who
was employed in the same mine.
Mr.. McFate was a member Of the
Modern Woodmen of America, who
will conduct the funeral services that
will be held Sunday afternoon from
the Methodist church.

Upon this the inspectors base their
belief that Savage has concealed the
