Newspaper Clipping: IDENTIFIED: The body of the man found drowned at the head of Pleasant street on Tuesday, has been identified as that of Junius McCantz, secretary of the Grain Trimmers Benevolent Association. Mr. McCantz left his home, corner Louisiana Avenue and Prytania street, last Sunday morning and was last seen alone at two o'clock Sunday afternoon. It is believed that he stooped over the edge of the wharf to get a drink of water out of the river and lost his balance and fell overboard. His head striking a pile he was knocked insensible and unable to save himself. This theory would account for the contusions found on the head of the drowned man. (This is Junius C.
