at the bottom of the reservoir, in
twenty-five feet of water, the body of
a young Spaniard, drowned Monday

who had toiled increasingly to this

been in the water but an hour and a
half, but when recovered life was en-
tirely extinct, which leads to the sup
position that death was due directly
to heart failure, especially as COM
paratively small quantity of water
was found in the lungs. Heber Play

was the first to locate the unfortu-
nate youth, his graphing hook being
