Allan Peterson, twenty years old, of this place, was 
drowned Saturday night in the Monongahela river near 
Millboro, Washington County, Pa. Young Peterson had gone to 
Millboro to work for the Labelle Coal Company and was to 
have started on his new position on Monday.  Saturday night 
about 11 o'clock, accompanied by his uncle and two other 
men, he started in a boat from the Greene County side to 
cross the river.  Young Peterson was unaccustomed to boats 
and soon after the small craft left the shore, he, in some 
manner, became overbalanced and pitched into the river. He 
sank instantly.
