The son of the popular and well known freight conductor, Mr. Fisher, on the Burlington road, met "with his death in a sad manner last Friday." He was out in a boat hunting on Mud Lake, near Estherville, and was kicked over the side of the boat by the discharge of his gun. He clung to the over turned skiff for some time, and just as help was coming, he let go his hold, being chilled and fatigued, and was seen no more alive. His body was recovered and passed through here Monday, on its way to Cedar Rapids. Much sympathy is felt all along the line for the bereaved father.
