BODY OFLE0N
ARNOLD FOUND
IN SNOW POND

Watervilie, Me-, July ,2s.-(SpeciaD.-
The body of Leon Arnold. the Water
vile High school student, who was
drowned in Snow pond June II, was
found at about IL o'clock Wednesday
forenoon by Leroy Smith Of this city
and Rev Godfrey Gilbert, who is stop
ping at the Lakeside campground. The
body was floating on the surface Of
the lake several hundred feet out from
the shore and the men from the camp
ground went out in a boat and towed
it to the shore. Redington & Co. were
once sent and the body brought to this
city to prepare it for burial 1t was
the opinion of the undertakers and
others that the body had ben floating
for some time and had perhaps been
in some reeds or something of that
kind and the wind or some eddy had
come just right to release it and it had
floated out to where it was discovered.
The place where the accident occurred
to recover the body have worked Is
some distance from where it was
found which adds weight to that
theory.
Leon Arnold was drowned by falling
from a canoe while on a picnic with
the members of his class in the Wa
tervllle High school. Divers were i'm
mediately employed in an effort to 10
cate his body and then dynamite was
used. and the whole bottom was gone
over with grapples, but it was without
success. Then the relatives and others
decided to wait for the body to rise
through the action Of nature, but when
several times the usual time had pass
ed and it did not appear, the city of
Waterville. together with the town Of
Oakland Water Co. employed a diver
and thorough search of the bottom
OF the pond in the vicinity Of where
he went down was made. This also
proved unsuccessful, it being the opin-
ion of the workers that his body was
in the mud with which the bottom Of
the pond is covered and that it would
probably never rise. At this time also
a most thorough search was made of
the shores on the chance that it might
have come up and been overlooked.
When it was decided that it was usel
less to go further. the work was given
up and it was the generally accepted
theory that the body would never be
found. so it's discovery on Wednesday
came as surprise. The interment will
be at 10 O'Clock Thursday morning at
Pine Grove, prayer being said at the
grave.
