MAN DROWNED.

Last night C.C. Hunt, a farmer residing about seven miles northeast of town, was drowned in Turkey Creek. The heavy rain of the early part of the evening had caused the creek to raise and overflow its banks. Mr. Hunt went out to his pens on the bank of the creek to look after his hogs. It is supposed that while he was trying to save the hogs from the water, which was rising in the pens, he fell into the creek and was drowned. The body was recovered from the creek this morning, Coroner Morey was notified later in the day and will probably hold an inquest this afternoon. Hunt was a man of about 55 years of age and lived with his wife, who is invalid, on their farm in Longwood Township. They had one child a grown daughter, who we are told was not at home at the time of the accident. –Ponca City Courier.
