Academy. and Midshipmen Sherman NJ.
Mason. OF Newport. r. l.. and Grisby z.
Thomas, OF Union Point Ga, at the
bottom Of the Severn River marked the
elimination of one OF the saddest and
most mysterious tragedies that have oc-
Cured in the vicinity Of Annapolis.
The body of Mrs. Bowyer was sent
tonight TO her former home. at Erie,
Pa, where the funeral will take place.
and al the request OF the parents of the
dead midshipmen their remains will be
sent to their respective former homes to
morrow morning.
Services 10 he Held To-day.
Only a simple ceremony marked the
transfer of Mrs. Bowyer's body but
tomorrow services will be held over the
dead bodies OF the midshipmen in the
Academy chapel, Chaplain Henry II.
Clark officiating.
The recovery Of the bodies was effected
at s o'clock this morning. after dill
gent search. resumed at daybreak, FOL
lowing the fruitless efforts extending late
into last night. when the work OF the
searching parties was hindered by dark
ness. Though the waters were dragged
for a space of several hundred yards, the
fear being that the strong current had
SWEPT them out into the bay, they were
recovered just a few yards from the spot
where the sail boat IN which the unfor-
tunate trio made the trip was found an
chored.
Evidences of Struggle.
The positions Of the bodies indicated
that all hands must have gone down TO
gether, after struggle, as they were
within fifteen feet Of each other. That
OF Mrs. Bowyer was the first recovered,
and, strangely. II was IN a standing posi-
ton. The bodies Of the midshipmen, just
a few feet to either side, were lying nat
on the bottom.
/ The fact that no one saw the plight
| OF the party or heard their cries for help
envelops the sad affair in the deepest
mystery. and the circumstances OF the
drowning will never be known. The gen
! erallv accepted theory is, however, that
Mrs Bower got beyond her depth and
was helpless. and the two mldshipmen
rushing to her assistance. died as heroes
as BELTS the traditions OF man In thf
navy All Annapolis joins in sympathy
for the parents and friends Of the vic
| tins OF the triple drowning.

Charles Tate and John March
ant Drops 10 Ground After
Firing Half a Dozen Shots
With Fatal Effect
FIGHT WAS RESULT
OF AN OLD FEUD
Tate Was Bridegroom of Two
Months and Married Widow
of Brother of Man He Killed
in Fight
(By Associated Press

PELHAM. Ga, Sept. z2.-Stopping their
buggies when they met each other in the
public road near here yesterday, Charles
Tate and John Marchant, both promi-
nent men of this county. fought a duel
with pistols, both dropping to the ground
dead after half a dozen shots had been
fired. The wives of the men sat in the
buggies while the fight was in progress
and saw their husbands kill each other.
Tate was a bridegroom OF two months
and his bride was the widow of Frank
Marchant, a brother of the man whom he
killed and who killed him today. The
fight grew out of an old grudge which
at first was between Mrs. Tate's first
husband and her second husband. later it
is said. being intensified between Tate
and John Marchant, who opposed his
sister-in-law's marriage with Tate, and
took up the old quarrel
When they met Marchant called Tate to
his buggy. The men exchanged hardly
word when the shooting began. Tate
fired three times, every bullet finding its
mark. While the bullets were cutting into
his body Marchant fired twice, one bullet
striking Tate's hand and the other pass
ng through his heart
The widows called aid and the bodies
were removed. 1t was said that Mar
chant lived a few minutes after he fell
to the ground. Besides his wife he leaves
two small children. The men lived four
miles from this place, owned good farms
were of prominent families and we'll re-
spected in this section.
