FJTJE STX L I Tho accidental drowning of Carl, tho 13 yenr old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. WUIUock of Ihla city. In tho Rogue River near tho Gold Ray dam yesterday afternoon put a tragic end to the family outing, tho first they had ever had at the river. Tho body has not yet been recovered. The father Is the well known business man and proprietor of the Golden Rulo store, and tho sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquain tances goes out to the family In their sad ' bereavement. Tho Whillock home is at B 17 South Newtown street. ': - f Mr. and Mrs. Whillock with their children, including Mrs. Clarence Evans,, their married daughter and Mr. Evans, their son Alfred and his wife, and Mrs. C. W. Wnlllock's sis ter, Mrs. C. W. Elson and children who are Stalling here from Missouri wore enjoying the day at the river. Early in the afternoon they scattered about in. groups along the stream. Mrs. Evans and her brother Carl were enjoying themselves on the oast bank of the river a quarter of a mila below tho danf with Mr. Evans 1 at a considerable' distance below, that point and the parents and others a hatf mile away. The boy was out on the rocks close to the shore, and Just' before the accident happened was cautioned by his sister to be careful as the rocks were, slippery. - All of a sudden Carl was seen to stoop down presumably to catch a crawfish between two rocks when he apparently becanro overbalanced and was seen to plunge head foremost Into tho river which was quite high and Is said to be about from 10 to 15 feet deep at this point. After disap pearing under the water his head came up once and that was the last seen of him. It is thought' that his body may have been carried by the swift water miles from the place where he went down. Volunteer searchers with drags and- poles, including Coroner John Perl, searched the river until dark last night. The search was resumed this' rooming. - Mrs. Whillock and Mrs. Evans are almost prostrated at "the untimely death of) the son and brother. Alfred WhillocK spent Saturday in assisting in the search for the body. . tlOV I OWNERSHIP LED TO HIGHER WAGES WASHINGTON.
