CREEK WATERS
CLAIM A LIFE
Walter Norris of South Rock
Island Is Drowned Near
the Watch Tower.
HAD BEEN IN SWIMMING
Is Quickly Brought to Surface and
Effort Made to Revive Him
Dies ON Way to Hospital.

Walter NJ Norris, aged 20, son of
Frank j. Norris of South Rock Island,
was the victim of drowning accident
last evening while swimming in Rock
river The young man, in company
with a number of other young men,
was in the habit of taking plunge in
the cool waters of the river after the
days work was over. Last evening
about 8 o'clock he and some of his
friends went to the swimming place,
and were soon enjoying themselves.
The place where the boys swim is
not really Rock river, but just at the
mouth of small creek called Coal
creek which empties into Rock river
at a point just above the Watch Tower
grounds. The new power dam at Sears
has caused the water in the river to
back up into the creek to a depth of
nine feet, making an ideal swimming
place out of it.
Efforts to Save Life.
Young Norris set out to swim across
the creek. thing which he had done
many times before and which was an
easy task, as the creek is only about
so feet wide. He got only as far as
the middle, however Suddenly he
threw up his hands and went down.
His comrades and some young men
from camp nearby went to his rescue
at once, and it was only a matter of
a few minutes before he was brought
to the surface and taken ashore. DR.
G. A. Wiggans of Milan was summon
ed. and he was soon on the scene He
found that the young mans father, who
had also been called, had partly sue
ceeded in resuscitating the boy, and
he aided his efforts with the result
that it appeared that the young mans
life would be saved The ambulance
was called, and he was taken to the
hospital, but he died before arriving
there, his death being due to the con-
gestion of water on his lungs.
Accident, Is Verdict.
Coroner Rose held an inquest this
noon over the remains, and the jury
returned verdict of accidental drown
ing. DR.. Wiggans, F. j. Norris, father
OF the youth, and F. w. Tiedtemann
one of the young men who was in
swimming, were called upon for their
testimony.
In Dairy Business.
Walter NJ Norris was born and
raised in South Rock Island He was
born Dec Z, 1888. Several weeks ago
he and his father engaged in the dairy
business, and he became acquain'e |
with large number of people who will
regret his untimely death. He is sgr-
vived by his father, three brothers,
William, Charles and Ralph, and Two
sisters, Emma and Ruth. The funeral
will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock from the home in South Rock
Island. The services will be conducted
by Rev. r. B. Williams, pastor of tn :

Beautiful and Comfortable
Marble Palace

Prairie Grove. Ark, Sept. 23.-One
Of the most prominent and successful
farmers of this section, who is an
active member of the National Farm
ers' union, has dwelt in a cave for
years. 1t is probably the most pa
lattal cave IN the world, and Is fitted
up with all modern conveniences, IN
cludtng hot and cold water, electric
fans, electric lights and steam heat,
He discovered the cave at the top of
a mountain LOO feet high. It is
seventy-eight feel long by twenty-five
feet wide and thirty-two feet high.
The walls are Of beautiful granite,
which has been handsomely polished.
The ceiling is forty feet thick. The
front Of the cave is Of glass, which
the owner and occupant, H. S. Mob
ley, put in, together with hardwood
floors. The flues for the cooking
range pass out through the mouth Of
the cave and extend upward a dis
tance of nearly forty feet. Movable
screens permit the increase and re-
duction Of rooms at the pleasure of the
occupants. A fine spring at the top of
the mountain furnishes water through
"a private system of waterworks.
This novel dwelling was completed
about two years ago. 1t is approach
ed by beautiful road ascending the
crest of the mountain by easy stages,
and the grounds about the cave are
kept in perfect condition. The occu-
pants declare that it is the coolest
dwelling in summer and the most
comfortable In winter, and they have
no fear Of cyclones, which are fire.

nor cold penetrates the solid protec-

says he will live in the cave for the
rest of his life. The cave is in easy
distance of this town,

At His Home.


st. Peter. Minn., Sept. 23.-The lit
tie town of St. Peter. the birthplace
and final resting place Of the late
Governor johnson, has more than
doubled in population today. From
the small towns and the surrounding
country as we'll as from the large
cities of the state, thousands have
gathered to pay last tribute to Min
nesota's favorite son. The town ,is
shadowed in the deepest gloom. Gov
ernor Johnson's death is regarded as
a personal loss by nearly every one
of the inhabitants. The buildings are
draped in black and the flags are all
half mast and the pictures of the late
governor, wreathed in the national
colors, are seen everywhere. But these
outward manifestations are but slight
ly indicative of the deep, sincere per-
vading gloom.
Scattered Flowers.
At the. stations along the road from
st. Paul the funeral cortege, which
was preceded by several other spe-
cials. was reviewed with the utmost
Difference. School children with flags
pointed downward lined the street on
each side of the train, while small
boys and gray haired men stood with
barred heads as the governors body
was hurried towards its resting place.
The funeral train arrived at 1:45. The
body was escorted from the train to
the Presbyterian church by company
"K" End infantry Minnesota national
guards. A heavy rain started just as
the train arrived but this did not les
sen the thousands of people at the
station. The sun again came out be-
fore the procession reached the
church. As the funeral car passed
along the streets, little girls dressed
in white strewed lunches of flowers
in its path. All the local flower gar
dens had been appropriated and wagon
loads were scattered in this way.

street to Sixth street. through the
healt of the retail district of the city
and then by way of Sibley street to the
union station. At the foot of Sibley
street the special train on the st. Paul,
Minneapolis ard Omaha road was
standing with the baggage car, in
which the casket was placed, directly
across the center of the street. The
guard Of honor representing the ma
tional guard of Minnesota, remained

streets, business was practically sus-
pended, the sidewalks were jammcd
with silent throng and every availa-
BILE inch of space not required by the
cortege was occupied. All who pos
sibly could came in this way to pay
their last tribute.
