DROWNING VICTIM FOUND
Body of Paul Watson is Discovered at Cherry Grove
VANCOUVER, Wash, Feb 16 -- (Special) -- The body of Paul Watson, aged 22, son of Robert Watson, a sawmill owner and operator on the Lewis river, was found today after being in the water ten days.
More than a week ago young Watson and some friends took a trip on the river in a rowboat, which overturned. Unable to swim, young Watson drowned.
Owing to the high waters since it was impossible to drag for the body, and it was not until today that the body came to the surface at Cherry Grove.
