FOUND LOUGHERY'S BODY
IN WATER TWO FEET DEEP

Word from Galena is to the effect
that John Loughery of Milan, super
intendent on the dredge "Geyser,
who was drowned Tuesday. came to
his death near the shore where the
water was but two feet deep. The
body lay on the bed of the stream face
downward when found. and this in
formation gives strength to the theory
that he struck his head upon a rock,
rendering him unconscious, and thus
his lungs filled with water.
