BODY STILL IN THE RIVER
WAS POPULAR IN THE CITY.

According to a dispatch received by
members of his family at / o'clock this
afternoon. the body of Courtney B. Tag
CART. twenty-five years old, who went
to his death yesterday in the lower Po-
tomac near Colonial Beach has not yet
been recovered.
A large fiotilla of boats is on the
water. and the bottom of the river has
been dragged for hundreds of yards on
all sides of the spot where Taggart
sank, but no trace of his body has been
discovered.
II is thought the outgoing tide must
have carried the young mans remains
into the deeper water of the main
channel. and one corps of grapplers is
lowed by the river steamers. Arrange
ments for the funeral will not be made
until after the body is recovered.
Details of the Accident
Courtney B. Taggart sacrificed his own
life that the two sisters of his bride
elect might live. The young women
saved were Misses Cora and Lena
Thomas. daughters of Mrs. Mary Z.
Thomas of 1924 Sth street northwest. and
sisters of Miss Edna Thomas. to whom
Taggart was to be married about a month
hence.
The drowning accident occurred in the
