Sylvan Cain, a little boy in his seventh year.
Sunday evening about half after six o'clock
He went down to the river with his father
who became engaged in conversation with
some men. The little fellow was playing
with some children who were throwing stones
in the water. He had gotten fishing line
and the other children left. After some time
the father missed him and fastened to the
house, thinking he might have gone home,
but no, he could not be found. A crowd soon
gathered on the shore and many hands
searched the water eagerly and anxiously.
