Drowned in Crab Creek.
Thomas
Jordan, an ironworker, of Sharon, was drowned in Crab Creek, near
Youngstown, early Sunday morning, presumably while intoxicated. The
Vindicator says it is supposed that Jordan was walking along the Lake
Shore railroad siding occupied by a draft of cars and lost his footing
and fell into the creek bed below, a distance of 20 feet His jaw was
fractured in several places and the side of his face badly lacerated.
Jordan had been in Sharon, Saturday, and left for Youngstown in the
afternoon. He displayed a roll of bills in the latter place amounting
to $25. When found there was $1.85 in his pockets. The coroner is
investigating the case.
