Dickerson Was Expert Swimmer— No
Foul Play Suspected.
Pensacola, Fla., Feb. 2.—The body
of C. M. Dickerson, a capitalist of Bat
tic Creek, Mich., who has been miss
Ing from his winter homo across the
bay for the past two weeks, was found
on the beach at a potnt near the
“Forty Nine Pines.”
The body had been thrown on the
beach by a high tide of the night pre
vious and the discovery was made by
the beacon tender at that point.
-Dickerson's yacht was found the
day previous and searching parties
were sent out to And Dickerson. He
was an expert swimmer, and the only
theory advanced is that he was struck
on the head by the swinging boom or
the yacht and knocked into the water
unconscious.
His son, who is here from Battle
Creek, says that his father could eas
ily have undressed in tlie water
swum ashore had he fallen into the
without first being injured. An
investigation, however, is being made,
though no l'oul play is suspected.
The remains were shipped to Battle
Creek.
