DROWNED-A man by the name of Burns, who lived on Rock Creek, about three miles 
from this place, was drowned on Tuesday night last in the Wapsipinicon River, 
where the railroad bridge crosses, under rather distressing circumstances. It 
appears that Mr. Burns, in returning from the election, in crossing the 
bridge, missed his footing and fell where the water was about twelve feet 
deep. His hat was discovered in the vicinity on Wednesday, which led to his 
discovery. A coroner's jury was summoned by Justice Fegan, who returned a 
verdict of accidental drowning.
