On Saturday night last be
tween 7 and 8 o'clock, Mr. W, E
Kohler, a member of the firm of
Wilson, MecDowell & Co., bridge
builders, was drown in the Alta
'ut:ahuf river while trying to cross
it.
He and Mr. G. V. Smith. were
together at the time of this sad
occurence. They were on the
north side of the river, and had
started for the south side, to
headquarvers. Mr. Smith said
that the craft they were in was
a small dug-out. They both had
gotten inte ; the canoe, and Mr.
Kohler was sitting in the stern
of the boat with the paddle,
while Mr.. Smith oecupied the
middle seat. Mr. Siith states
that the river was very high and
swift, and just alter 'eaving shore
My, Keler gave one' strokze with
his paddle, and {ellinto the water,
He said that he could render him
no assistance because there was
but one paddle in the canoe and
that Mr, Keler carried thiat one
outinto the water with him, And
again, Mr Smith states that he
thought that the deceased could
swim, for he seemed to stay on
top of the water for 30 yards
after he fell in, He passed cables
and made no effort to catch hold
of them, but continued to drift
on down the river, until she dis
appeared from sight. - J
Mr. Wilson offered a reward of
$50.00 fur .the recovery -of his
body, and many people were up
and down the river ail day Sunm
day and up to Monday, morning,
looking for his remains. _
About ¢ o’clceis on Monday
morwing Messrs. Bill Hester and
John Ryals discovered the body
about three quarters of a mile
below the new bridg>, thus se
curing the $50.00.
The remains were brought to
Hazlehurst and embalmed, and
gent to h's home in Columbia, 8.
C. Monday night for intermeit.
His brother-jn-law arrived here
Monday on the 1:01 p. m, train to
accompany the remains back.
We learn that the-deceascd
leaves a wife and tive children to
mourn his untimely death, be
sides a hosts of friends, at his
old home.
Those of our people who knew
him, speak in the very highest
terms of him, and many exp es
sions of regret were uttered
when the news reached here of
his sad endin}g. )
