Member of Camping Party on Hodgman's Mill Race, Near Painted Post --
Corning, Aug. 22 - When seeking to recover one of his crutches which had
fallen into the mill race at Hodgman's dam in the Cohocton river, a mile
above Painted Post, this morning, Owen Campbell, aged 19 years, son of
Emanuel MILLER, a grocer at No. 167 Sly avenue, Corning, lost his
balance and fell into the race, which was swollen by last night's heavy
rain, and was drowned in twelve feet of water.

Frank E. CORTRIGHT, one of a party of young men of which Campbell was
also a member, saw a crutch floating upon the water of the race and ___
Campbell, he hurried along the bank just in time to see Campbell's body
disappear under the water. He summoned help and plunged into the race,
and aided by companions, finally got the boy to the shore after he had
been in the water five minutes. Officer J. N. SHUMWAY, of Painted Post,
assisted by three physicians were unsuccessful in efforts to restore
life by inducing artificial respiration.
Campbell had been a cripple since childhood and

pending the __ hearing, denying the motion without costs. It is thought

In the arrest of Lillian DAVIS, 22 years old, the police believe they
have a pickpocket who has been trained by one of the smartest of that
variety of crooks in the county. The woman, who is handsome and a good
dresser is the wife of William DAVIS, said to be a well-known
professional pickpocket. He is now in the West. Mrs. DAVIS is of
Rochester, and until her marriage to DAVIS last spring her maiden name
was CLINE or KLINE. She lived in Scio street.
Mrs. DAVIS came to Rochester several days ago
and took a room at a hotel. A man whom she met in the street dined and
wined her Friday evening, and later in the night he discovered that he
was short just $110. He laid the matter before Chief QUIGLEY and
Detective Captain WHALEY Saturday morning, and Acting Detectives SHARPE
and John A. DOYLE arrested the woman in Main street east.
At headquarters Mrs. DAVIS denied she had taken
any money from the acquaintance of the night before. She said that after
marrying DAVIS she went to Chicago and there consorted with the wife of
another pickpocket, a pal of DAVIS's. When DAVIS and his companion
crooks were out of Chicago the police says, Mrs. DAVIS and the other
woman operated in Chicago.
Letters and telegrams from DAVIS were found
among Mrs. DAVIS's effects. One article in her possession was a
newspaper clipping telling of the operation of a gang of pickpockets
among the worshipers of "The Sacred Tabernacle." The
detectives suspect that that occurred in Salt Lake City, where the
Mormon Church has a large tabernacle.
A charge of being a common prostitute has been
placed against Mrs. DAVIS, but it is possible that a further charge of
grand larceny, second degree will be made later.

Identification -- Accident a Mystery - Left Home With His Wife

is said, he purchased a ticket at Geneva for Phelps and got aboard the
train leaving there about 10:15 P. M. It is the opinion of some of his
relatives that he got carried by his destination and left the train
either at Phelps Junction, Clifton Springs or while in motion, with
the intention of walking back by way of the tracks. His watch is
reported to have stopped at about 10:20 o'clock but the minute hand is
missing.
A freight train westbound followed the
passenger within forty or fifty minutes and an eastbound freight came
along a few hours later but which one of the trains it was that killed
the man is not known.
After establishing his identity, Coroner
EISCLINE turned the remains over to the undertaking firm of Dauchy
& Kavanaugh who brought them to Phelps to be prepared for burial.
Mrs. HOOD who was at Hillsboro did not learn of her husband's tragic
death until about 11 o'clock when informed over the telephone by
relatives. She arrived home about 1:30 o'clock, accompanied by her
sister.
Mr. HOOD had been a resident of Phelps for
the last ten years, coming here from Auburn where he had spent most of
his life. He was about 39 years old and was known as a hard-working
and industrious man. He had been employed as a teamster for a number
of years but of late had been working in the stone quarry at Oaks
Corners.
He leaves his wife and three children,
Chester, Ardell and Rowland, all of Phelps; his mother, Mrs. Jane
