have plunged into the icy waters. All
during the week Brown has been lead
ing the search party, never hating
at the coolest weather. He has been
paying the searchers literally and has
offered a reward Of 500 to the one dis
covering the body. He has nearly Civ
en- up hopes of ever finding the body
in such shape that it can be identified
as the remains of his brother. Yes
