BODY IS NOT RECOVERED.
Sam Harvey Was Drowned
Two Weeks Ago.

Solomon, Aug. 21.-Although
searching parties have been diligent-
ly at work, the body of Sam Harvey
who was drowned at the dam of the
Delphos mills two weeks ago today,
has not been recovered. The river
has been dragged thorough, as far
rs Collins Dam, and careful watch
kept in case the body rises. Many
think It is with the boat, and 1t is
believed that the boat has been To-
Gated just below the dam. The water,
however, is yet too high to work
with safety, and 1t will have to fall
several feet more before thorough
search can be made. All sorts OF
rumors have been circulated. One
was that a dog had located itself
near a big drift few miles down
the river, and was disturbing the
neighborhood for a mile or two
around with his bowls, and that when
the drift disappeared, the dog dis
appeared. Many though that body
was in the drift. Another story
travelled the rounds to the effect
that a small boy. while fishing, pull
cd up the body OF a little girl on
his hook. and then ran away in
fright, without making any further
Investigation. All these stories seem
to lack sufficient verification, how
ever.
