Body in the Mill Wheel.
Cedar Falls, Sept. 5.—The body of Allie Harper, aged 17 years, was found in the mill wheel of the Cedar Falls mill company this evening, the body having stopped the machinery and so started an investigation. Young Harper's death was plainly due to drowning and it is supposed that he fell into the race while in an epileptic fit, he being subject to that disease.
