Lee Robertson aud John Hollinshod,
employees at John RowelI's saw-milI
in Polk county, about twelve nilee
south Of Dallas, were drowned in the
pond there yesterday afternoon. Rob
ertson and Hollinshcd were engaged in
logging with man named Baker
The latter and ITollinshcd started up
the side Of the hin adjoining tile pond
for some purpose, leaving Robertson
behind. They had gone some distance
when they were called back by the
cries Of Mrs Rowell, wife Of the mill
owner, who had discovered Robertson
drowning. The men hastily returned,
and Hoilmshcd without hesitation
plunged into the water to rescue Rob
ertson, who had entirely disappeared
When within about sis feet OF the
place where Robertson sank Holm
shed suddenly threw up his hands
and also disappeared.
The alarm was given and other help
came, but too late 70 render any assis-
tance. When the bodies were recov-
cred they were beyond resuscitation.
How Robertson was drowned is not
known. AIRS. Rowcll, who was in the
house some distance away, was the
first person attracted by his cries, but
all she saw OF him was his outstrctched
hands just disappearing beneath the
water. Hollinshed was i'm all proba-
bility seized with cramps. Robertson
was an unmarried man, ana son Of
Robertson, living on Big Luclianute.
Hollinshcd WAS married and leaves a
