Reno Evening Gazette
A Man Names Richard Messenger Drowned in the Truckee.

  A drowning accident occurred last Tuesday at Clinton Station, on the Truckee 

River.  Richard Messenger, a well-known work hand, long resident as a 

lumberman on the Truckee river, while driving up logs to the sawmill, slipped 

and fell from the log on which he had his precarious foothold, and was 

precipitated with force against an adjoining floating log.  He evidently must 

have struck his head against the floater, for he instantly sank, and before 

help be procured was beyond reach.  He leaves a wife and three children.  His 

body at latest acocunts had not been recovered.
