A Deplorable Accident.

Willie Rome, the 17-year-old son of
Camille Rome of Smoke Bend, chief
sugar boiler at the Belle Helene fac.
tory in the sixth ward of the parish,
was drowned in the Mississippi river
about noon Tuesday at a point OPP
posite his fathers home. 1t appears
that young Rome had recently con-
structed sail for his skiff, and as
quite stiff breeze was blowing Tues
day he decided TO take the boat out in
order to make a trial of the new mo-
tive power When near the middle OF
the river the vessel careened suddenly
and the youthful sailor lost his bal
ance, plunging head first into the
murky waters. Upon coming to the
surface he attempted to swim to the
skiff, but on account of the high wind
the vessel was travelling at rapid
rate and he was unable to oYertake it.
A negro woodchopper on the levee had
seen the boy fall into the river and i'm
mediateIy put out in skiff to rescue
him. Leaning over the bow of the
boat, the negro made a grab for the
young man, but missed him, and be-
fore he could regain his oars and turn
the skif. around the swimmer had sunk
beneath the waters never to arise
again. The distracted father has
offered reward for the recovery OF
the body, but as yet the search for the
remains of tie unfortunate young man
has been unavaiing.
Young Rome was seventeen years of
age and was highly esteemed by all
who knew him. The sad accident
which ended his life is deeply regretted
by his numerous friends in this com
munity aud elsewhere, all of whom
will join The Chief in extending heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved family.
