HEARTRENDING STORY.
Pathetic Account of the Drowning Of
Bright Little Boy in the Keser-
vOir at albuquerque. a

The little 7-year old son of Mrs, R
Potter, of the Viavi company, was
drowned in the M esa reservoir at Albu
querGue, on Saturday afternoon, under
peculiarly sad and heartrending ciroum.
stances.
Major Rankin stated to the Citizen that
he was returning from his ranch, and
within short distance of the reservoir
he noticed little boy, standing on the
platform bridge that extends few yards
oot into the water, yelling, crying and
wrlnging his hands. He whipped up his
horse, reaching the reservoir as soon as
possible, and the little fellow told him
that his brother had slipped off the slant
Ing cement side into the water, and was
drowned. He could see the form of the
unfortunate boy lying beneath the water,
and with an improvised hook, made from
barbed wire, the major fished the little
body out. He stated he was onvinced
from the start the boy was dead, but
rolled him vigorously with the hope of
returning life. Seeing that he could do
nothing, he requested that telephone
message be sent from the university for
DR.. Haynes, after which he came to the
city with the bereaved brother, Howard
Potter, who was the only witness to the
sad accident.
Howard Potter was seen by the re-
porter at his mothers home, and he
stated that his age was 10 years. He and
his brother, Folger, about years old,
had left the city about IL O'Clock this
m morning to take walk on the mesa On
reaching the reservoir, they took off their
shoes and stockings, and rolled up their
pants above the knees. Both laid down
and took drink of water, and on getting
up Folger slid into the water over his
head. He tried to save him, and threw
out, for him to grab at, his stockings,
but he would come up and then disap-
pear. 81 then got on the platform of the
bridge and commenced yelling and cry-
ing," said Howard, "when an old gentle
man came up and got Folger out of the
water"
During the recital of his story, Howard
was in tears and it was with great diff.
Guilty that he could remember the facts.
Mrs. Potter, the sorrow-stricken moth
or. was absent at the time, but her sister
went after her post haste. When she
reached her home Howard commenced his
story of the accident, Mrs. Potter became
very hysterioal, and could not talk to the
reporter. She would exclaim: "My
pretty boy; oh, Howard, couldn't you
save himf" and "Oh! is he dead, my pre-
oious boy"

which was subseq uently changed from
the original understanding, he gave the
required check and bond, and now he will
