Late last Thursday afternoon the

was reported missing last week, was
found floating in the river just below
Sth street bridge and few feet out
from the north dock. The lad was
dressed indicating that he had not at
tempted swimming. He had doubtless
fallen of the dock near where he was
found when all alone. He must have
fallen in Tuesday afternoon and it is a
singular occurrence that the accident
was not noticed at that time and place.
The body was in the water only As
