tim of the Columbia.
About 7 o'clock p. m. Thursday a boy
by the name of Clifford Carlton, aged
9, was drowned at Columbus, while
pj.aying on a scow. . He and another boy
of about his own age were on the scow
waiting for a man to come who was go
ing to take them to Grants. In a few
minutes after the boy had left the house
Mrs. Hicinbotbem, the lady be was
stopping with, went down to the beach
to find him, but was informed by his
companion that Clifford had gone in
swimming. Mrs. Hicinbothem imme
diately ran for assistance, and soon a
large number of people gathered at the
river's edge to search for the lost boy.
Everything possible was done to recover
the body, but all efforts to find it re
sulted in failure. His father, Mr. Em
erson Carlton, is now living in Grants,
iOr. The deceased also has a brother
nd sister.
Friday morning again a large number
gathered to search for the lost boy,' and
dragged the river, but were as unsuccess
ful as before. . ,
