Word reached here Wednesday that
Hod Campbell and an Indian by the
name of Leach had drowned at
Agatha on Tuesday afternoon. It
seems that during the high wind of
Tueday it was impossible to run the
ferry, so the small boat was resorted to
in order to cross the Indian who was
desirous of reaching the other side of
the river just as the parties reached
the swift water, the wind suddenly
veered and upset the boat throwing
the occupants into the icy waters.
Both men were drowned before assist
ance could be rendered. Mr.. Campbell
resided near the ferry landing and
leaves wife and large family to
mourn his untimely death. 1t could
not pc learned at this writing where
the Indian Leach resided. Search
ing parties have been at work drag
ding the river for the bodies, but with
out success.
