A man sitting on a boat rail fell between two rotating propellers as they passed under the draw, was crushed, and drawn away by the propellers. The incident drew many spectators and is linked with Theodore Freese, once a banker and trader, who was shot near Hope. Alfred Johnston, a colored man, was arrested.
