Friday morning brought a telegraph dispatch to E. Freas of this place, stating that his son Edgar had been killed at the Falls; later news gave the particulars to the effect that he was working on the new bridge under construction at the place as rigger of ropes and pullies to draw up timber for false works, and climbing a rope, when about 75 ft. from the ground, he lost his hold and was dashed on the rocks below.
