Not wishing to take the responsi bility upon himself, he sounded the alarm. A. (i. Ba-hoar, II. II. Bower, Wiuey Custer ami John Bolender hastened up and dragging the body ashore discovered it was Harvey Biillingtou of Franklin. An examination readily disclosed that life was extinct. A coroner's jury was empanelled who rendered a verdict oi accidental drowning. Mr. Spiegelmeyer, division boss, saw him about ten o'clock in the morning. He walked along the railroad track toward the place where he was found. He probably lay down near the bridge at the dam. The grass was pressed down near the edge of the bank which leads to the belief that hi lav down, fell asleep and lolled into the water. His hat was found at this place while the body had floated about 200 yards. There were no marks oi violence, and the body must have been in the water over two hours. After tlie inquest the body w as taken to the home ol his mother. He was about 28 years ol age, single nnd lived at home. The accident caused considerable excitement. The sympathies oi the community go out to the bereaved family. Announcements. Preaching at the following ap pointments Sept. 6-9 by Rev, J. W.
