December 31, 1887
A Melancholy Drowning Accident is reported from Random. The Trinity Record says that on last Friday week two men, named respectively Richard Goobey and William Gregg, left their homes on the above mentioned day to put another man (whose name we have not ascertained) across Southwest Arm, Random. Nothing has since been heard of them, except that the boat has been picked up, so that it is only too certain that the poor fellows have met a watery grave.
