JACKSON BOY
DROWNED
Fatal End of a Fishing
Trip in Monterey Co.

We take the following account of the
drowning Of Wilbur Robbick, native
of Jackson, and son of the late Robert
L. Roddick, from the Salinas Index.
He was drowned in the Soledad river,
May 2l.
Wilbur Roddick, a Is year old or
phan, nephew of A. L. Roddick, a resi-
dent of the Fort Romie colony, was
drowned in the Arroyo Seco Yesterday
under peculiarly distressing circum-
stances. Coroner Muller received news
of the accident and left for the scene to
hold an inquest on the remains of the
unfortunate youth.
Young Roddick and other members of
his uncle's family and several friends
have been camping on the Arroyo Seco
for week, and were having a delight
full outing until the grim tragedy cast its
shadow over the camp.
Yesterday morning one of the men,
bers of the camping party, Mr. Beham,
started down the stream on a fishing
expedition, and it was supposed that
Wilbur Roddick accompanied him.
During the afternoon Beham returned to
camp alone. The other campers were
surprised to learn that young Roddck
had not accompanied him and as time
passed on and the boy failed to return
a party went in search of him. The
searchers took a course up the stream in
the direction opposite to that taken by
Beham in the morning. About quar-
ter Of mile from the camp they found
the dead body of the missing lad in a
hole in the river. He was clad only in
his undershirt, his other clothing being
found piled on the bank of the stream.
1t is supposed that young Roddick had
diveSted himself of his outer clothing
the better to facilitate his angling
operations. In wading up the stream he
must have stepped into the hole and the
water being beyond his depth he was
drowned.
In accordance with the above facts the
coroner's Jury returned a verdict of ac-
cdental death.
Wilbur Roddick was bright boy, of
a cheerful disposition, and his until
mely death is a severe blow to his
relatives and friends.
