AUSTIN, TEX, Oct. Is.
The ferryboat this afternoon carrying
two wagons and hack bearing Mrs.
Hughes and two children, Mrs. Renn and
four children, Mr.. Robert Willis and two
men, attempted to cross the Colorado River.
The cable broke and the boat hoated rap
idly toward the dam over which an i'm
mense volume of water was falling several
feet. Before the dam was reached a skin
rescued Mrs. Rem and two of the children.
One of the teams jumped off and swan
ashore. The two men attempted the same
feat, and both were drowned. The others
remained aboard, and went over the dam
with the boat; miraculously, none were
drowned. All were promptly picked "
by small boats.
