Top, Grasping The Rope
Used in The Effort to Re-
cover it

4 The body of Stuart NJ. Sprouse was
recovered Friday afternoon after a
lay Of hard work on the part of city
Manager Ashbunrer and a corps Of men
under foreman Cash.
Early in the morning weighted
line equipped with grsppling hook
was rigged up and extended from the
opening under the Told house to tina,
in front OF Mr.. Jacob Yost's residence.
This was dragged back aud forth time
and time again. Several times !,
caught, but evidently not upon the
body.
Finally it struck an obstruction and
the hook could not be pulled far in
either direction and the workers
we're convinced that they had the bo1y
at last. The most vigorous efforts
however were unproduetive of results,
aud the searchers finally went down
into the hole, and under the directi u
Of Mr.. Ashburner, rigged up poles,
sufficiently long to reach to the bit

which were bent toward the pal n,

to the body and it was at once hauled

is hard to say, but most likely, it was
made in getting the body ont Fof the

that Sprouse was unconscious when he
struck the water. His eyes were found
to be tightly closed as if in an effort
to protect them from the smother Of
earth in which he was enveloped as he
