JASONVILLE MAN DROWNS IN STRIP PIT A 29-year old RR 2 Jasonville, Indiana man drowned in a stripper pit north of Dugger Friday afternoon May 8, following a boating accident while he and a companion were fishing. Roy L. Bedwell was recovered from about 12 feet of water by Sullivan City firefighters at 4:30 p.m. Friday at the Antioch Pit, two miles north of Dugger. Sullivan County Sheriff Robert Hiatt said that Bedwell and Dorothy Aaron, 46, R2, Jasonville, were fishing at the pit from a boat which apparently turned over. Aaron told Hiatt she managed to hang on to the boat, but that Bedwell went straight down and was not seen again. The body was recovered by firefighters Mike Cox and Don Brock and by Ed Hill from the Dugger Town Marshal's Office. Sheriff Hiatt, Conservation Officer John Martin and Coroner Bill Tennis investigated the incident.
