Drowned While Fishing
About 2 o'clock p.m., yesterday, George Jenkins, 16 years of age, son of Thomas Jenkins, of East Washington, was drowned at the four-mile run. He is company with Mr. Charles McGlue, and at the time was fishing with a dipnet, Jenkins being engaged in taking the fish from the net, when he lost his balance and fell over into the water, and, the current being strong, carried him under. Young Jenkins was a lad of much promise, highly esteemed by all who knew him, and especially by members of Eagle Tent, Junior Rechabites, with whom he was associated, and who have offered a reward for the recovery of his body.
