Two Drowned in Clear Lake.
Clear Lake, June 25.—The body of Tom Gallagher, about 35 years old, supposed to be a tramp, was found last night in the lake about 8:15 o’clock. He had secured a boat and gone out fishing. Yesterday afternoon the boat was found capsized and search was at once commenced for the body with the above result. He had been working in Clark & Son’s livery stable, but became intoxicated and was discharged yesterday morning. It is generally thought he was drunk and fell out of the boat.
