HE KEPT HIS WORD

Buffalo, Aug. 5 - A coat was found below Niagara Falls in the river this
morning. Dr. LITTLEFIELD of the Park Lunch House states that a man
wearing the coat found was in the Lunch House yesterday and asked for a
drink, stating that he was broke. The drink was refused and the stranger
said he was going over the falls. It looks as though he had kept his word
and that his
name was J. J. KIRCHNER of Brantford, Ont.
