Son of Louis Lehman Was Drowned at Francesville Sunday.

Carl Lehman, about 18 years of age, son of Louis Lehman, of Francesville, was drowned while bathing in a dredge ditch east of ■that* plase Sunday afternoon. From what The Republican can learn he and other boys had gone there to bathe and he was diving. Whether his head struck a rock and rendered him unconscious or he was siezed with a cramp, could not be learned. Ed Mayhugh, another ’ .jung man, tried to rescue him and was also almost drowned. Lehman’s funeral took place at the Francesville M. E. church this Tuesday afternoon.
