George Allcorn, about 30, employed near Blue Mountain, drowned in the swollen Petit Jean Creek last Thursday. The scene of the drowning is near Blue Mountain Dam, under construction, and Allcorn was in the employ of the Kernes Construction Co., St. Louis, who had a sub-contract to remove timber and prepare the site for the dam. The creek was greatly swollen by rains and much wider than usual, and had enclosed a small piece of land, forming an island, and driftwood had lodged against it. Sheriff Stanwood said the company wanted the driftwood removed but no boats were available, and out of the 25 or 30 men present some attempted to swim the swift current to the island, and 5 of them made it, he said, but Allcorn was swept away and drowned. When it was seen Allcorn was in danger, attempts were made to reach him with poles but unsuccessfully. Allcorn lived at Sugar Grove. He leaves to mourn his wife, two children, and his parents, the latter residents of Texas. The body was recovered Saturday morning near where he went down and was buried Sunday at Sugar Grove Cemetery.
