Aged Street Sweeper
ThOught Drowned

Tuesday 1t was brought to the at
tention of the town officials that John
Roderick. the street sweeper, was not
at his duties. 1t was alter learned
that his cart was found in the river at
the Eddy about a half mile below the
village Sunday by some boys. Tues
day his hat was found on the bank of
the river at the rear Of the Opera
House where it was his custom to
dump the dirt. No one has been found
who has seen Roderick since Saturday
John Leo remembered that he saw him
about ESQ Saturday afternoon, and
John futile states that he saw him
and talked with him about 4.3o Satur-
day.
Mr.. Roderick roomed with Mr.. and
Mrs. Marcus Moore on Madison avenue.
but as he was in the habit of being
away few days at a time they felt
no alarm at his absence. 1t is believed
likely that Mr.. Roderick lost control Of
the cart at the dump. which is very
steep, and in trying to save the cart
was drawn into the river. A diligent
search was made for the body Tues
day without avail and will be continued
this morning. Mr.. Roderick was about
