the cries for help ran to the river

Policeman Henderson was notified and
with young Pasquallini at the oars
dragged the river until late in the
evening, but found no trace of the
boys body. The tide was coming in
at the time the boy was drowned, so
that search was first made above the
bridge for the body, but later the river
bottom was dragged below the bridge.
Several boys assisted in the search,
diving to the bottom but without avail
Search for the body will be continued

the unqualified confidence of the dem

that the party is due for a great vic
tory in the November elections. Ne
convention gathering in many years.
