Drowning Fatality.

(Per Press Association). Nelson, March 11. Reginald Walker, aged 18, son of a farmer of Richmond, took his gun for the purpose of shooting last night. As he did not return, seaich parties went out on the hills all night. This morning his hat was found in the 1 reservoir which supplies the borough. The water was run off and his body was found this evening where there had been 20ffc of water. The theory is that his hat blew off as he was passing the reservoir, and that in trying to recover it he fell in. He wuh not able to swim.
