MR.. AND MRS. TURNER DROWN
Death of Two Colored Citizens by
Floating Under a scow.

George Washington Turner and his
wife, well known colored people of The
Dulles, who have been in the laundry
business for some time, were dro wned
about 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
With another colored man known as
Jenkins, they had been fishing above
the rapids. They had hauled in their
sturgeon line, getting about 800 pounds
of fish, which was deposited in the bot
tom of the boat along with salmon
they had procured. In the boat, also,
was their dog, small yellow pug. Jen-
kins, who was the only survivor of the
occupants of the boat, and who is the
only living witness of the tragic occur
renee, tells the following particulars.
was rowed down over the rapids, and
was heading directly for the bow
of Davis scow, which is anchored
across the river about mile and half
distant. Jenkins who is proficient
oarsman, saw the danger, and shouted
to Turner to row with his shore oar.
Turner was unskilled in the use of oars,
SAA OCSOhAbH dOCiOCAGdIly
knocked out Jenkins oarlock with his
oar. There remained one other lock on
that side of the boat, but this also was
in some manner knocked out through
the hurry and agitation of Turner. In
another moment the boat had drifted
to the scow and was at once submerged
with all its occupants, except Jenkins.
BY standing up in the boat he in some
manner grasped shore line which helps
fasten the fish boat steadily in the river,
and climbed hand over hand to it.
But Turner and his wife sank to rise no
more. Their four-footed companion al
so drowned with them.
The small boat came uE a short dis
tance down the river badly battered
and greet hole stove IN its side near
the bottom, but it was tenantless. The
current flows very swift where the acci-
dent occurred, and it is scarcely prob
able the bodies will be found, though
efforts have been made today to do so.
Turner was a son of Mrs. Whitaker,
who died not long ago at the Portland
hospital.
Turner and jenkins had but just
formed a partnership in the sturgeon
fishing business and this was their
first days work fishing. Mrs. Turner
had expressed a wish to go out with
them in the boat, and had almost been
dissuaded by friends to whom she had
spoken, but unfortunately their advice
had not prevailed. She was the first to
sink out of sight beneath the scow,
holding her dog in her arms. Her hus-
band followed directly.
In the boat was sturgeon weighing
$50 pounds. The same sturgeon was re-
covered this morning and brought to the
express office. The sturgeon lines and
! hooks were lost.

STOCKTON, CAL, May 31.-The second

OF this TACT in TIE team shoots the scores
did not reach the marks made yesterday.
Crowds were coming TO the grounds and
going from them all day and fully 5000
people must have witnessed the shoot be-
fore the last trap was pulled at dark this
euening.
One of the first events of the day was
the shoot for the Golcher trophy, which
was scheduled as the fifth event. Besides

each. In the shoot-off Tanning made
seventeen, Trombone eighteen and Shell

The chief interest of the day centered in
the shoot-off of the tie between the team
from the Stockton Athletic Association
and the Los Angeles Gun Club. Yester-
dav both teams made scores of lO2, and to-
day thousands OF people stood outside the
ropes to watch them decide the mastery.

NEW YORK, N. Y, May 31.-James S.
Clarkson of Iowa is seriously III in his
apartments at the Fifth-avenue Hotel.
Mr.. Clarkson has been i'll for more than
two weeks, but his illness was not con-
sidered of q grave nature. Yesterday,
however, after what had appeared to be
period of sure recuperation, he had re-
lapse and was reported to be in danger
Gus condition.
Mr.. Clarkson, who is the mem Der of the
Republican National Com mitt ee and the
acknowledged manager of the Allison
boom, returned from an 5000 mile trip
about the country a lew days before he be-
came i'll.
He was Obliged, in fact, to come back
from Washington, where he had gone to
confer with Senator Quay and other mem
bers OF the anti cKinley com bine. Owing
to his illness consultation of the anti
Mckinley men was delayed for several
days, but he was not strong enough to at
tend the meeting.
1t was said thai had Clarkson been con-
tent to rest quietly and refrain from undue
exertion he would have recovered more
promptly, but that he was not content to
do this.
At late hour tonight Mr.. Clarkson was
said to be about the same.
