St. Joseph Traveler
Wednesday, 18 May 1859

         Drowned:
         A German, whose name we could not ascertain,
       undertook to cross the river in a canoe, while
       in a state of intoxication, on last Sabbath,
       since which nothing has been heard of him. It
       is supposed he was drowned, as the canoe in
       which he was last seen, was picked up floating
       down the stream, bottom upwards.
       
         Horrible Accident
         On Thursday afternoon last, a German in the
       employ of Hayward & Gordon, owners of the upper
       steam saw mill, in this village, while in the
       act of putting a belt on a pulley, had his frock
       entangled with it in such a manner that he was
       caught up and carried round a shaft with such
       velocity that his clothing was all torn off,
       his brains dashed out, and his body horribly
       mangled. Of course his death was instantaneous.
       A coroner's jury having been summoned, gave a
       verdict in accordance with the above facts.
       The unfortunate man leaves a wife and one
       child to mourn his untimely death.
