THE OWEGO, RECORD SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT. A YOUNG MAN LOSSES HIS LIFE WHILE BATHING NEAR WAVERLY. Waverly, NY, Aug 21. The "Scannon Hole," a deep place in the Susquehanna river near Barton village, about four miles east of Waverly, was the scene of a very sad affair this forenoon. Murray H. DAMON, a young man of this village, a grandson of the widely known hotel man, J. O. REZEAU, with a few friends were spending the day there and about 10 o'clock DAMON and George HALL were out in a boat in bathing suits, when DAMON, calling to his mother to "see how deep the water was there." sprang from the boat and at once sank. Coming to the surface a moment later he cried for help, but HALL who was in the boat, was powerless to assist him as he could not swim, and they had left shore with no oars in the boat. DAMON came to the surface twice, each time crying for assistance, but none could reach him and his horrified friends witnessed his struggles for a moment, themselves powerless to aid him and then the waters closed over him. Expert swimmers and divers have worked all day but as yet has failed to find the body. The water at that point is said to be about fifteen feet deep. Mr. DAMON was about twenty-two years of age and was engaged to be married to a young woman of this place. His father, E. FRANK DAMON, who is in business in Newark, . . . (rest was cut off.)
