BODY FOUND
d aniel Brashears COlOred Republican
Politician Drowned In
Back Creek

As stated in The Capital few DAYS
ago upon the disappearance Of Daniel
Brashears, colored il was supposed
the man had been drowned This has
proved to be true, as the body was
recovered this morning.
The man was reported several days
ago by Officer Jones to be missing.
Brashears was supposed to have been
drowned in Back creek sometime be-
tween Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning. He was in attendance upon
the convention of the colored Odd Eel
lows Convention, in session at Asburv
M. E. Church, and after the meeting
Tuesday night was seen on Spa creek
bridge at 1890 O'Clock on his way
home.
This was the last time the man was
seen alive. He lived across Back
creek and probably his small rowboat
was swamped, as a strong wind was
blowing on Tuesday night at the time
Brashears attempted to cross the creek
to his home.
On Wednesday morning his hat,
coat and Odd Fellows regalia were
found in the boat, and Daniel Bra
shears was reported missing. A dill
gent search was made, but without
success until this morning at O'Clock.
when the body of the drowned man
was found on the shores of Back creek
by his nephew, Thomas Brashears, the
son of the dead mans brother.
A coroner's inquest was held, Jus
tice w. d. X. Lee acting coroner, and
the decision was the man came to his
death by accidental drowning. Daniel
Brashears was a we'll known colored
Republican politician, and was fav-
orably known by his race and many of
the white race throughout the county.
The body when found was in very
bad condition. 1t was badly swollen
and the face was so eaten by the crabs
that it was hardly recognizable. The
hands were also badly eaten. There
was $2.26 in the mans pockets when
found. Brashears had been attending
the ball given at the Assembly Rooms
in honor of the Odd Fellows and was
one of the committee in charge of ar
rangements. The cause of his drown
in will probably always be shrouded
in mystery.

WaterFan1ine!

git is with regret that this Company
is again called upon to warn it's pa
irons in the careful use Of water. Our
storage supply is completely exhaust
ed, so that we are pumping into our
reservoirs alone the daily supply run
ming from our streams, which is di-
minishing day by day. Many rains
fallen in Annapolis have passed by our
wter sheds entirely. A personal in
spection of our plant reveals the fact
that our supply TODAY is lower than
at any time during the drouth Of last
year.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IN PERAIVE
that all street and lawn sprinkling be
discontinued. While the public has
cordially co-operated with the Com
pany towards this end, it is a regret
able fact that some persons still con-
tinue to sprinkle their lawns gardens
and streets, utterly unmindful of the
injury they are working the com
munity.
No charge will be made for street
or lawn service from July /, 1911, un-
til further notice.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE
that this appeal be STRICTLY and
HONESTLY OBSERVED.
