DROWNED MAN IN
RIVER LONG Time
Milan Resident Was in Water
81 Hours Before Investi-
CATION Was Started.
QUICKLY FIND THE BODY
Wife Of Late J. E. Loushrey Located
in East Just Ready to Depart for
Her Home Near Here.

I. Z. Loughrey, Milan. inspector on
the hydraulic dredge "Geyser." who
was drowned in the Galena river. was
in the water y hours before it was
discovered that he had met with an
accident. Three hours later. at II
o'clock yesterday morning, his body
was recovered from the river
How he came to be drowned is a
matter Of conjecture, and the fact that
there were many men at work nearby
makes the occurrence seem the more
strange. as no one saw the accident
and no alarm was given until yester-
day morning. 1t had been supposed
that he had gone to either Galeno or
Dubuque.
Not until R Monroe. assistant en-
gineer in the government river serv-
ice, and in charge of the hydraulic
dredges, arrived at Galena yesterday
morning at was an investigation
started. He was told of the absence
of Mr.. Loughrey and Immediately con-
Quoted a search. At IL o'clock the
body was found in the water, at a
point near where the dredge had been
located at noon Tuesday.
Last Seen Alive Tuesday.
He had been last seen alive at noon
Tuesday. It is thought that while he
was getting into a skiff he slipped and
fell into the water, striking his head
on a rock or so injuring himself that
he was unable TO swim.
This seems strange, however. as
there were men at work on the dredge
less than so feet away and some on
the opposite bank, and it would be
supposed they would have witnessed
the occurrence.
Mr.. Loughery is well known here.
He was born in the east and was 80
years old. He entered the United
States engineers service June. 1900,
in the Nashville office. He was trans
ferred to the local office July, 1911,
and since then has been employed out
OF this city. AS inspector he had
charge OF the dredge.

Denver.-Due to the appeal of Miss

Gus school boards of the state urging
an increase In the salaries of first

campaign towards that end to be
waged for the next school election in
May.

Ancient Stage to Be Used.

A more than usually interesting dra-
matte revival is announced for April
16, when the "Agamemnon" of Aes-
chylus will be performed in the an
cient Greek theater OF Syracuse.
Nearly "a centuries have passed
since Hero l embellished his city with
the theater which tradition attributes
to the architect Democopor Myrilla.
Aeschylus must have taken refuge
in the court OF Hero very soon after
its completion, and 1t may be conjec-
tured that the great trilogy, which be-
gan with the "Agamemnon," was
often performed on its stage: 1t 10
known that the "Persae" was per
formed there and work written for
Hero by Aeschylus. entitled the "Et-
neae." Of which no trace remains.-
