Robert HICKEY of Campbell Settlement was drowned Monday morn. at Grafton (Careton Co.) He was working for Samuel HAYDEN and about 9 o'clock in the morn. he went down to the river to wash some wool, accompanied by Mrs. Hayden. He was getting a couple of logs together and preparing a place to work when he fell into the water, which though only 12 or 14 feet from the shore, was 15 feet deep. The first time he rose to the surface, Mrs. Hayden waded out into the water and extended a pole to him, but he made no effort to grasp it and the second time he rose he was about 20 or 30 feet from the bank and utterly out of her reach. It is very hard to understand how he could have drowned so easily as he was always used to water, having driven logs for J.J. HALE this spring. Mr. Hickey's parents are living at Campbell Settlement. Samuel HAYDEN, Richard COLTER, Enoch PHILLIPS, Hurd SHARP, George CLARK, Aaron HICKEY and Bruce PHILLIPS set to work with grapples and recovered the body in the afternoon. W.W. Hay went up immediately and held an inquesty in Samuel Hayden's house at Pembroke, the only witness examined being Mrs. Hayden, It was shown that the unfortunate youth could not swim. A verdict of accidental death was returned.
