JOHNIE EBERLEIN — 2 year old son of John Eberlein and grandson of Fred Eberlein, of this city, fell into the pond Monday afternoon and was drowned. It seems the little fellow went into the boat house and was trying to use a small dip net, when he lost his balance and fell into the water. He was taken out within a few moments by J. Fuller, and Dr. Partlow summoned, but all efforts at resucitation proved unavailing. A coroner’s jury was immediately summoned by Justise Bold, composed of E. E. Breed, C. H. Newton, Chas. Bold, J. A. Lieg, C. Shanahan and H. Miller, who after hearing the testimony, found that the death was accidental. Drs. Partlow and McComb made a post mortem examination of the remains. Little Johny was an unusually bright child, and the sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved parents. The funeral will take place Thursday at 2:00.
