Barry, April 3 -- At 1:30 this afternoon, Joseph Hull of Barry was found drowned in a little stream about a mile and a half west of Barry. It looked as if he had been walking in the road, and to get out of the mud, he had fallen into the water.
He was a poor man, without any particular family, and was 70 years old.

HULL'S FATAL ACCIDENT.
Was Drowned Last Monday a Mile West of Barry.
Additional particulars of the drowning of Joseph Hull at [near] Barry are given in this week's Adage:
Joseph Hull, a man about 70 years of age, met with a fatal accident about a mile west of this city, Monday about noon.
About that time, two boys named Harvey and Floyd DeJanes were driving along the road near the bridge, east of the home of Mr. Hull, when Floyd saw a man's hat lying on the bank near the creek, and called his brother's attention to it. Harvey then saw a man lying partly in the water.
W. M. Snider was not far distant, and he was notified by the boys of what [unreadable] and Mr. Hull lying with his head and shoulders in the water, and the rest of his body on the bank. He sent one of the boys to the residence of [unreadable], and when the latter arrived, he and Snider pulled the man out of the water, as they were requested to do by Mrs. Hull, who had arrived in the meantime.
No time was lost in going for a physician, but when Dr. Beavers of this city arrived, he found that Joseph Hull had been dead about half an hour. The body was then carried to the home of the family nearby.
Squire Mitchell was notified of the sad occurrence, and, acting as coroner, he empaneled as a jury Dr. T. D. Kaylor, W. H. Stroheker, Levi McIntire, Norman Fitzpatrick, A. L. Jones, and N. R. Johnson.
The inquest was held at the city hall Monday afternoon, and from the evidence brought out, it seems very probable that Joseph Hull was tripped by some underbrush, and fell head foremost into the water.
His arms and legs being almost useless, he was unable to save himself, and was drowned. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the facts given above.
