MAN DROWNED IN SHALLOW WATER SIXFEET OUT Gruesome Discovery Made By Leonard Tisdale of Man Upright in Water J. V, DUPONT VICTIM Stranger May Have Taken Out Boat and Fallen Out on Return Belleville, Aug, 21. -- J, W, Du- pont, aged between fifty and sixty years, met with death Friday night by drowning In the Belleville har- bour six feet from the door of the Tisdale hoathouse in a little ovir five feet of water, Returning up the harbour about ten o'clock last night Mr. Leonard Tisdale made the sensational discovery of a man standing slightly stooped in the wi- ter, As he was facing the dock ul the boathouse it is thought he may have been out in a skiff and have fallen into the water as the boat struck the framework on its return, Mr, Tisdale left the boathouse about seven thirty and did not re- turn until about ten o'clock. Al- though the boat house had heen left open, no one had applied at the house for a skiff, Going to the 10or to look down the harbour Mr. Tisdale saw a hoat resembling one of his which he saw out of the hoat- house and he thought some hoys had taken it out, Going. as far south as the Boulter dock he sow the hoat empty drifting out of the harbour, Taking a canoe from his own boathouse Mr. Tisdale soon overhauled the fugitive craft and towed it back to the boathouse. He had found some matches scattered about, a tie and a pipe and the oars unused. As he was turning the canoe prowmd ito tekcit into the boathouse. It struck something white which he had seen just a few feet away, Investightion showed 't was the body of a man, the bald appearance of the head giving the impression that 'the man was very old and grey, such, however, prov- ine not to be the cage. The police were called, Sergt. Harman and Constable Evans responding. The body had meanwhile been pulled out of the water, but although it is said to have been warm there was no sien of life. Coroner Dr Bovre pronounced the man dead and the body was taken to the morgue of Mes-rs. Tickell and Sons Company. It is thought that the man com- ing out of the boathouse and find- ing mo one about took out the skiff and was returning when tha accident hanpened. Mr. Tisdale told The Ontario reporter that the skiff was moving almost impercep- tibly in the direction of the bav and that the time for the boat to flost from the hoathonse to where it was first seen would have taken a long time, there be'n= not a rin- ple on the water and not a breath of air moving. That would indicate that by the time of the discovery of the boat the man had been in the water for a considerable length of time. Mr. Tisdale when he first saw the body did mot think it was that of a man and later om discovering ft= nature. he thought the body had drifted in from the harbour as there in om ebh apd flow to the water in this chenmel. The police authorities. after all nieht efforts. got in touch this mor- nine with the son of the man, living at Napanee. The youth set out at once for this city. . On the hody were references and letters, these belne 'mn the hip pocket and mot yet soaked with wa- ter. The proprietor of the boathouse stated that he had mever seen the man hefore. The man is believed to have come here from Cormwall. At elevem o'- clock it was mot certain whether am inquest would he held. The cor- oner and the authorities were wait- ing for the arrival of the young wan from Napamee for identifica- thom. When the police were speaking with the young mam fin Napanee ther were informed that Dupont had an antificial fee.
