Sad Accident Happens TO Members OF
Prominent Caldwell Families.


Prominent Caldwell Families.
Caldwell was thrown into tumult
OF excitement at $3.50 o'clock Monday
afternoon by the arrival of a courier
from Drury, who brought the news OF
the accidental drowning of four Of
Caldwell's brightest and most popular
young girls.
The dead are:
MILE DETRICK,
EDNA CURTIS,
MABEL NEAL,
INEZ NEAL.
The girls ages are: Miss Detrick
II years; Miss Curtis, II years; Miss
Mabel Neal, 10 years; Miss 1nez Neal,
16 years.
Miss Detrick is the daughter of
hardware merchant. Miss Curtis is
the daughter Of the Presbyterian
minister, and the Misses Neal, sisters,
are daughters of T. E. Neal, a retired
capitalist.
The four girls, 10 company with
Miss Edna Battin, we're boating on
the river below the dam at Drury.
The boat capsized and all of the Occu
pants except Miss Battin were
drowned. She was in an unconscious
condition when help arrived, but was
resusCitated,
The excitement in Caldwell upon
the arrival of the courier car better
be imagined than described. A mes
sage to the VOICE stated that a
hundred persons left for Drury soon
after the news Of the drowning was
received. Ali OF the dead girls be.
longed TO prominent families, and
were apeng the most highly respected
and universally esteemed young peo-
pie in the city. The two Neal girls
were the only daughters of indulgent
parents, and the blow falls heavily
upon them,
Tuesdays Daily Journal said
The disaster occurred about three
quarters Of mile above the dam just
after the noon hour yesterday. A
party of Caldwell campers, numbering
about fifteen women and girls, were
camped on the west side Of the river
below the wagon bridge. After din
ner wading party was organized. ln
the party we're the four unfortunate
girls and Miss Edna Battins Mrs. Geo
Hill, wife of the manager Of the Rock
Island Lumber Co., Mrs. DR.. j. F.
Robertson, wife Of the mayor, and
Mrs. Robt. Clark. Mrs. DR.. Robert
son and Mrs. Clark we're chaperOning
the party. Mrs. Robertson was wad
ing on the side nearest the bank. The
waders were holding hands and going
down stream in water waist deep.
The high waters last spring had
washed a hole about fifteen feet deep
In the river at this point and into this
hole the wading party was unexpect'
edly plunged. The Detrick girl, who
was farthest out in the river, stepped
into the hole first and disappeared in
the water. The current carried the
four other 'girls and Mrs. Hill and
Mrs. Clark into the hole before they
could realize what had happened.
Fortunately, Mrs. Robertson was near
enough to the bank to escape the hole,
aud in water so shallow that she could
control herself. With great presence
Of mind she saved the lives Of Mrs.
Clark, Mrs. Hill and Miss Battin by
the aid OF a fishing pole which she
was carrying in hor disengaged hand.
