tight Watchman on Bridge
Hears Groans and See
Face In Water
Mystery shrouds the disappearance
of an unknown body maybe that of
a forlorn and heart broken girl that
was seen floating in the cold water
of the Willamette this morning in the
misty, foggy coldness of the dawn.
Groans were heard by D. 8. Weyant,
night watchman on the wagon bridge,
coming out of the darkness from the
surface of the river about 6:10 o'clock
He rushed to the bridge rail and peer
ed below and distinguished a head dim
ly outlined in the water. He called
'Who arc yonf What is yonr name?"
but the only answer he received was
groans.
Mr. Ainsworth, night watchman at
the car barns, also heard the groans.
Mr. Weyant threw a rope to the figure
but the voice replied ' ' I can 't raach
it." It was thought this morning that
the rope may have been. too short but
it was found to be eight feet to tho
good in reaching to the surface of the
water. It may have been that it fell
too far to one sido or the other and
out of reach of tho person.
Girl la Missing
Just before the groans were heard
the night watchman on the railroad
bridge heard a noise that sounded like
a pile of wood falling. There apparent
ly was no struggling in the water and
the person drifted with the curreat.
The place where the person entered the
water i believed to be about half way
between the bridge and the gas tanks,
where some wood was piled but fhi3
morning workmen had disturbed tho
wood so as to obliterate any trace of
an accident.
Chief Welsh began investigations
earlv this morning hut at 3:30 o clock
had not found anything definite. He be
lieves the body, which sank about half
way botween the wagon bridge and the
railroad bridge, may be that of a girl
who is missing from her home iu this
city. However, he is not willing yet to
say who the girl is becauso au error
might bring her undue notoriety.
Tiunxs It was woman
He is of the opinion it was a woman
because it flouted so long. If it was a
man the body would have -sunk quick
ly but if a woman her skirts would
hold her afloat for sometime. The per
son floating on the current for about
two blocks, when, the clothing becom
ing soaked, the body sank.
Chief Welsh tried to get some one to
drag the river at the point where the
body sank but did not succeed although
Mr. Dcnison of the Denison Boat House
offered all the boats necessary. If drag
ging is to be done now it is believed
it will be necessary to go to Weeks
Bar, which is about four miles dwwn
the river, where the stream takes a
right angled course. It is there that
most of the bodies of persons drowned
in the river have been found.
. arious and conflicting reports havo
been circulated but nothing defte
has yet been ascertained. However, it
is practically certain that u grown per
son, either man or woman, went to
death in the waters of the Willamette
this morning.
