After H e sis. o ’clock meal
Peering and two compan
ions left their boarding
maces at tne ranen and
went to the river to bathe
as they ha\ e been doing al
most daily. Heeling, who
could swim, went out into
deeper water than the other
two. Suddenly they heard
a erv from him and saw him
struggling in the water, but
were powerless to aid. He
had evidently been seized
with cramps, in e uuuy
soon recovered and every
possible effort was made to
restore life, but it was too
late.
The name of his aunt was
found among ins personal
effects and she was notified
o f his death, but up till this
time there has been no re
sponse from her. A brother
living in baiem was notmea
and came here this after
