Dr. M. M. Landrum received a mes-
sage Saturday morning from his bro-
ther in Austin stating that their half-
brother, C. M. Edens of Georgetown,
had drowned on the Colorado river
near Smithwiek. Smithwick is a few
miles down the river from Marble
Falls. The message stated that the
body had not been recovered at that
time.
Mr. Edens graduated in 1920 from
Southwestern University at George-
town and for a number of years has
been coaching in the athletic depart-
ment and has a large acquaintance
throughout this section. He is sur-
vived by his widow and a small
daughter.
Dr. and Mrs. Landrum and son,
Leslie, left here in a short time after
receiving news of the tragedy.
A telephone message later in the
morning from Mrs. Landrum, after
they had reached Bertram, stated
that Mr. Edens and a friend were
walking across a dam on the river
and slipped into the water. He took
cramps and went under the water
and the body was not recovered until
about 11:00 o’clock in the morning.

New York, July 28.—Success came
at last for Mn. Sophie Beck, 35, af-
ter she sat through the night on a
lonely roof and then searched all day
for "the right building."
She plunged to her death Thurs-
day night from the fourth story
window of a hotel in Brooklyn. It
had been two days since her frantic
husband reported her “missing” to
the police.
Mn. Beck, who suffered a nervous
breakdown recently, left this note
in the hotel room:
“With the prospect of a 17-story
jump I seem to feel at my beat. Have
been walking all day trying to find
the right building .. . Will I have
the courage? ... I sat on one roof
alt night and decided it was too
high. It ia fl p. m. now and I must
start—or rather finish—soon."
