John Hohn, of Webster township, who owned a small mill on Middle River, went fishing last Thursday. While sitting on the bank he was overcome with dizziness and fell into the river. His grandson who was with him ran for help but before assistance arrived the unfortunate man was drowned. Mr. Hohn was sixty-five years old and had been a resident of Webster township for about five years.
