John Wesley McGee, the 15-year-old
sun of Mrs. Malluda McGee, who
is employed as an gttendant at the
Soldiers' Home hospital in West
Roseburg, waa drowned In the Fnip-
iiuu River, at a point near the Oak
street bridge, shortly before 3 o'
clock this afternoon. The youth
played baritone in the Roseburg
juvenile Hand and wan an attendaut
at the local schools. He was very
popular locally, and bad many
friends In this vicinity.
According to the story told by
persona who witnessed the tragedy.
the lad entered the river from the
west bank and swam to one of the
piers of the Oak street bridge, near
the center of the river. He rested
there a short time and then started
to return to the hank of tho river.
He had reached the middle of the
stream, when he yelled and sank be
low-the surface of the water. Ho
came up once, according to his com
panions, but aoon disappeared from
sight.
A dozen or more frightened lad
who were bathing in the river at the
time gave the alarm, und llo Steph
ens, who chanced to be crossing the
river at the time, hastened to the
west bank of the river and swam to
a point where the boy was last seen.
He attempted to rescue the boy but
was unsuccessful. Conductor Ralph
Lane, who waa also on the bridge,
rushed to the east hank of the river
and entered the water. Ho swam to
the middle of the stream, and after
several attempts succeeded In bring
ing thp lad tn the surface. He was
carried by the conductor to the river
bank, below the home of M. L.
Webb, and Prs. Seely Rnd Stewart
wero summoned. They rushed to the
scene of the tragedy and worked for
nearly an hour In hope of restoring
life. They were assisted by Coroner
Wade, who had been notified of the
drowning in the meantime.
There were more than a do7en
vouthn In bathing at the time of the
tragedy, but none of them appeared
to be more than 12 to 14 yearn of
ago. Their stories regarding the
tragedy are conflicting. One lad said
McGee was clinging to the arm of
a companion when he drowned,
while another boy said he wat dis
playing his skill for endurance. Still
another youth declared that the bov
was merely returning to the bank of
i he river when he suddenly shouted
ind sank below the surface. He was
recovered front the river by Con
Itmior Lane within less than Id
minutes after the drowning.
The bov's father left here this
morning for Leo mi, where he ex
nected to secure piuplovment in the
milN of that place. His mother Is
otiploved at the Soldiers' Home.
The boy hail nn brothers or sisters,
ami his death came as a shock to his
pa rents. M r M c 1 ee Is ei nect ed '
return here tonight. Mrs. McGee Is
ald to be prostrated . with grief.
Constable H R. Church, who is the
manager of the Juvenile Hand, and
who viewed the body after the
drowning, spoke In the highest
terms of tho youth, and said h"
would be missed by the other m
hers of the band. He was a lad of
exemplary ha lilts and was a favor
ite among his friends.
Ralph Lane and llo Stephens are
entitled to much praise for the
manner In which thev responded to
the rail for assistance. Thev dis
played irreat bravery when they en -t-red
the rWer and recovered the
bodv without the et hesitation.
No a rrani;ernents had been made
for the funeral nt the hour of going
to press this afternoon.
