MAN FOUND
Hody of lwtiKHHter Cituen Washed
Ashore By if >f(h Water*.
The hody of Oscar Huile, a young
white man, a resident of the Lancas
ter mill villas, wan found by Ixzard
I Vay, colored, about 7 o'clock Thurs
day morning, lodged against the tim*
hers of the footbridge over Hear
Crook that connects with the section
recently built situated between the
tracks of the Southern and L. &. O.
Railway.
The finding of the body was at once
reported to the mill authorities and
Messrs, Bo van Kunderburk and L. (}.
Dobson took a force of men to the
scene and recovered the remains,
which were taken to the hottie of Mr.
and Mrs. John Haile in Brooklyn to
await the arrival of Coroner Caskey.
The icoroner and th? sheriff reached
the house about 9:80 and at once im
paj^Ued a jury of inquest. Several
witnesses were examined. Dr. I'oovey
viewed the body and said that there
was water in the lungs but no evi
dence of foul play. The appearance
of the body indicated that it had been
in the water for Home time, Hi.s hat
was found at the creek Wednesday.
The deceased was last seen alive late
Sunday evening at the home of his
brother-in-law, Miles Wheeler, who
lives on the Yancey Williams' place
just beyond Hear Crock. Haile, who
was employed at night in the twister
room at the cotton mill, is reported
to have been somewhat indisposed du
rtnjf the latter part of last week and
had not worked since Wednesday
night, February 20, or thereabouts.
Several parties report seeing him dis
play a roll of money Saturday, which
the deceased is said to have remarked
as containing between $50 or $60. H.
L. Hlackmon, who helped "to recover
the body from the creek, testified that
only a small amount of change was
found in the pockets and an opV?n
knife was in tho upper coat pocket.
The jury could briny nut. ? no cvi.
deuce that would indicate foul play or
connect anyone with his death, and
the theory is that ho was taken sick in
the vicinity of the creek and was un
able to reach his place of residence in
tho Springdalo section of the mill vil
lage. i
The deceased was said to bo 28
years of age and is survived by his
wife, who. was formerly Miss Bon
Wheeler, a sister of Miles Wheeler,
and an infant daught^ six weeks old.
Mrs. Haile and the baby were away at
the t?nie tho unfortunate' affair oc

for h visit with relatives. Besides his
wife and child the deceased is survived
