MAN DROWNED

We learn from Mr. Keaton the mail carrier between this place and Allen's 
Mills, that a man by the name of Shannon was drowned in Dog River in Douglas 
county at the place known as Pray's Mill, on the 10th inst., under the 
following circumstances: Shannon drove into the river in a one horse wagon and 
his horse becoming entangled, he jumped out to cut the horse loose from the 
wagon, and while in this act he was washed down by the current of the stream 
and was drowned. This happened about 12 o'clock and his body was taken out 
about dusk some 50 or 60 yards below the ford. The stream was considerably 
swollen at the time. A gentleman upon the shore succeeded in rescuing 
Shannon's horse but was not able to render Shannon any assistance in time to 
save his life.
