Mond§y^ night a stranger
whose identity has since been
established as John Cannon, was
drowned in town branch, and
his body wds found Tuesday
morning swinging from the
bridge which spans the branch
just west of the railway track.
When the body was discovered
one arm was thrown around a ?■
banister of the bridge as if the
dead man had made an effort to
save himself. His coat was
caught on a projection of the
bridge, and it is likely that in
his exhausted condition he was
not able fp free himself from the
obstacle.
When the body was first dis-
covered the name of .the dead
man could not be learned, but
later it was ascertained to be
John Cannon, and that he had
only been in Teague since Mon-
day forenoon. Monday shortly
after noon Constable Paul Loon-
ey arrested Cannon for intoxica-
tion, placing him in the calaboose,
but when the norther same up
late in the evening Officer Looij-'
ey turned him loose, knowing
that he would be quite cold in the
city jail. Mr. Looney admonished
him to take care of himself and
go to some hotel for the night as
it was likely to be very cold and
bad. So far as we can learn,
this was the last seen of Cannon
until his body was found next
morning as stated. The supposi-
is that he attempted to cross
the branch on the small trestle
Ige'frd losing his bai-
rn ft his i
ey, who, assisted by Marshal-
elect Stringer, gave it burial
afternoon. The Chronicle repre-
sentative talked with M. Hag-
gerty, the business parther of
the dead man, and learned that
a few days ago the two parted
company at Birdstown, Cannon
starting for Teague and Hag-
gerty for Mexia. They are ped-
dlers, each having a horse and
single wagon. Cannon reached
Teague Monday mornipg and
Haggerty came in a few hours
later. When H agger tv arrived
at Stewart’s livery stable, he
saw Cannon’s outfit there and
made inquiry concerning his
friend. He was told that Officer
Looney had instructed that the
outfit be placed in the stable, as
Cannon was in the calaboose.
Haggarty made arrangements
for the care, of His team, and set
out to see aomit his friend, but
in the meantime he had been re-
leased, and when next seen he
was dead.
Haggerty says Cannon lived in
Colorado, and several months
the two met in Oklahoma and
since then they have been trav-
eling together. He says Cannon
was generally an inoffensive
character, drank but little and
seldom to access, and he thinks
this fact perhaps the reason for
his death in that he easily suc-
cumbed to the effects of liquor.
To us Mr. Haggarty expressed
his intention of bearing the bur-
ial expenses of his friend, 9a:
that he was worthy of every
tention. He says he will no>
