Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANGELO, Tex, May 2l.-At
Sonora, 100 miles south of San Angelo,
there were two tragic deaths Tuesday
afternoon. VIM. G. Pride, little T.
year-old boy, was wading in branch
near his home. A heavy rain storm
had fallen on the head of the creek a
few miles above. His mother discov-
cred q four foot tidal wave coming
swiftly down the narrow valley and
screamed to the boy, who was uncon-
scious of the danger, to
run up the bank, but ere
he could realize the situation
he was swept along by the tide. In
less than minute a hundred people
had gathered along the banks. A
gentleman by the name of George
Sutton, seeing the boy come to the
surface, leaped into the water to save
him. The water was almost one
fourth hail, and being near the freez
ing point, the brave fellow was
cramped in an instant and both were
drowned. On the following day both
bodies were found locked in eacf
others arms.

her name three times. She was seized
with fear, and when her family came tc
her she related the incident and felt conf
