Young H. T. Blair UostHis Life There
-Yesterday Morning.
While bathing in ExaH's Lake
yesterday about noon H. T. Blair,
son of George W. Blair, clerk
of the Court of Civil Ap-
peals, was drowned and the body
remained in the water for probably
two hours before the search was
begun which resulted in its dis-t
covery.
There were no other persons
in that immediate vicinity at the
time, and no calls for assistance
were heard.
About 11 o’clock yesterday
morning the keeper said Mr,
Blair obtained leave to go in
bathing in the north end of the
lake and left his clothes on the
bank near the bathhouse. Ashe
did not return the search was be-
gun at 2 o’clock. A party of
men went into the lake and by
diving found the body in about
8 feet of water. Life had prob-
ably been extinct for several
hours and all efforts to resusci-
tate him were useless.
Justice Skelton viewed the
body yesterday afternoon and
the taking of such testimony as
can be adduced will be continued
this morning.
