Haley and Mr.. Donham were down
the river some little distance from the
other bathers, who heard cries, but
supposed it to be someone shouting in
fun. When rescurers arrived Mr.. Don
ham pointed to the place whore Haley
had gone down and the body was soon
found. 1t was said that the water was
not over his head, and the unfortunate
boy must have been seized by cramps,
as he was said to have been fair
swimmer. Those familiar with the
