D|VE: INTO
RIVER MAY
PROVE FATAL

Robert. the lj-yearold son OF Mr..
and Mss ] f. Douglas, of 1923 West
Noble avenue, is not expected 10 live
through the night as the result Of al
most breaking his neck while diving
into the Cimarron river last night
striking his head and neck on a
sandbar where the water was but
eight inches deep giving his spinal
column a severe jar and rendering
the muscles on his back and arms
useless The accident happened
shortly after s o'clock and had il not
been that Warren Gentry q 10-year
old boy who was in the crowd Of
swimmers saw that young Douglas
did not come up and lifted his head
from the water, he NJall have
drowned before assistance could have
reached him
Young Warren and his companions,
who lifted the PROSTATE body Of the
boy from the river, did not think the
accident serious, but not knowing
what to do summoned help from the
men in swimming nearby A call
was put in and the Patterson ambu.
lance made a record run to the riy-
er and back carrying the boy home
where Dr. Duke and other physicians
had already arrived. The boy was
still unconscious when his home WAS
reached. An examina; on revealed
that no bones were broken but the
physicians have little hope of a re-
coyery owing to the severe concus-
sion to the spinal column The
physicians report the boys condition
somewhat better this morning. hav-
ing passed a quiet night, and that
the next twelve hours will tell wheth
er he will recover or not.
Mr. and Mrs Douglas were pre-
pairing to go to the reception given
by Mesdames Beadles and Crow when
news of the accident was telephoned
to them.
