It seems that he had been mowing, weeds on the opposite side of the river from his home, and was taken to and from his work in a boat, behind which his team was lead. At five o'clock in the afternoon Herbert a younger brother, went to the river to bring him home and discovered that the team had already came across and were standing in the pasture with the hitching straps down and the reins unhooked. On the opposite bank stood the mowing machine he had been using. Charley could nowhere be seen, but the straw hat he had been wearing was found floating in the edge of the water some forty rods below the usual place of crossing. It is supposed he had completed his work early and had attempted to ride the horses across, when in some unknown manner, he was thrown off and drowned. The surrounding neighbors and a large number of friends from town at once organized a searching party and the river was dragged until two o’clock yesterday morning. At daylight divers, dynamiter-drag hooks and nets were all pressed into service and the search still continues, but up to the hour of going to press the body has not been found, and owing to the great depth of the water and the swift current, small hopes are entertained of its recovery. Charley was an exceptionally bright and promising young man, 21 years of age, and a son of Adam Scott, one of Union county's most prosperous farmers. He was born and reared in this community, where his manly bearing and genial disposition have won him hosts of warm friends. He leaves to mourn his loss a mother and father, five brothers and a sister, all residing in this immediate vicinity, to whom the sympathy of the entire community is extended.
