Drowned in a Dog Slip

Accidental Drowning Yesterday Afternoon of Young Frank Waleski

Frank Waleski, 69 Walnut street, a boy about fifteen years of age, was
accidentally drowned in the river while playing in the log slip at Paine's
mill yesterday afternoon.  Young companions immediately gave the alarm and
assistance was rendered in a short time by the fire boys from the Paine
engine house; but before they could reach the spot the body had gone down
for the last time and only the hat of the unfortunate boy, who was riding
upon the waters, gave mute evidence of the casualty.  The body was easily
recovered, however, as it was found to be in only five feet of water, and
was taken to Konrad's undertaking rooms.  This morning a coroner's jury was
impaneled and evidence taken before Justice Crozier. Frank Brewer, Frank
Sawtell, D. Lane, Frank Reveland, Joseph Hanley and James Johnston served
as jurors and returned a verdict that death was purely accidental.  The
funeral services will take place tomorrow
