A SUDDEN SAD DEATH.
A Young Man Of Our City Is Drowned
While Bathing in Pool
Near the Falls.

While bathing in the pool of
water near the foot of the falls
of the PalO DurO, about twelve
miles east of the city, last Sun
day, Will Walsh, a young cleo
trician of this city, was drowned.
No accurate statement of the
occurrence can be had as the only
eye witness was a child about
five or six years of age. Walsh
left the camp of A. A. Vardell
about twelve o'clock stating that
he would go down to the falls
and take plunge in the water.
He could not swim and took with
him pair of bathing fOaters.
The young son of Mr.. Vardell
accompanied him and about one
o'clock came to the camp report
ing that Will was under the wa
ter and would not answer him.
Mr.. Vardell, accompanied by
DR.. Sullivan and others from
Amarillo, Immediately went to
the scene and found the tloaterS
on top of the water, whereupon
search was Immediately begun
to locate the body, which was
done about two o'clock. Every
effort was made to reSuscitate
the body, but to no avail.
Justice of the Peace Redfearn
and other officers were notified
and Immediately repaired to the
scene and held an inquest, re-
turning a verdict of accidental
death by drowning. The body
was brought to this city Sunday
night and prepared for burial at
the undertaking establishment
of Thomas Bros. and shipped to
the home of his parents in Dallas
Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Walsh had only been in
our city for a few months but
|
during that time by his genteel
manners and gentlemanly con-
duct had won many friends
among our citizenship who GER
tainly condole with the bereaved
family.

After weeks of suffering W. a.

many years, moving to Dimmitt
eight years ago. He was man
who bore the respect and conf
dence of his acquaintance and
neighbors and his demise will
cause vacancy in their circle
which will not be readily filled.
Mr.. Slower left four sons and
three daughters to survive him :
NJ. +. Slower, sheriff of this
county, w. J. Slower of Dimmitt,
C. w. Slower of Tahoka, and j.
S. Slower of Slide, being the

mitt last Saturday, the services
/ being under the auspices of the

Dimmitt, of which order the de
ceased was Il member.
