Young Man Is Drowned In Iroquois Near Foresman.

John Antcliff, of near Foresman, a young unmarried man of 22 years, was drowned Monday night while in swimming with some other young men. The creek where they were at was very high and swift and he became frightened at something and lost control of himself and was drowned before aid counld reach him. Searchers dragged the creek all night but did not find the body until about nine o’clock Tuesday morning, about a quarter of a mile from where he was last seen. The funeral service was conducted Wednesday afternoon at Cray Chapel by Rev. Alice Noble, of Brook.—Mt. Ayr Pilot.
