No Trace Of Karr's Body
Hoqiuam Young Man Drowned On Eve Of Wedding
Hoqiuam,Wash.,Nov.9-(Special)- This city is plunged in sadness over the 
drowning of W.H.Karr, whose death occurred yesterday. Severla boats went down 
the bay last night, but it proved to be too rough,so they were forced to 
return and wait until this morning, when they started out again. A score of 
men left left on handcars to search for the beach,and have all returned wiht 
no trace of the missing man. His boat or oars cannot be found ,so it is the 
general opinion he was caught by the Humptulips river current, which swept him 
into the bay, and he was carried into sea. No hope for his recovery is 
entertained now, but it was thought last night he might have been picked up by 
some fishing boat.
W.H.Karr was a prominent young man of this city and a son of James 
A.Karr,founder of Hoquiam.He was 30 years of age and a man of sterling 
worth.No young man had more friends than he. Today was to have been his 
wedding day, Miss Hadassah knapp, of Aberdee, his betrothed, is in the city, 
and is protrate with grief.
