Lockhart, Tex., Aug. 5.-Mr. Sam Magee, aged 72 years, one of the most prominent and substantial farmers of Caldwell county, living three miles south of Lockhart, Wes drowned in a watering trough in his barn yard late Saturday evening. He had spent the day in town, returning home at a late hour, and when called to supper he made no answer. His family becoming alarmed at his absence made a search for him and found him standing on his head in the water trough, dead. Mr. Magee has been subject, for many years, to epileptic fits, and it is supposed that while leaning over the trough to get water for his poultry he had one of his attacks and fell forward into the water. This theory was
sustained by the fact that the vessel in which he usually watered the chickens was found in the trough with him. He was buried Sunday evening at Clarksville Chapel.
