Charles Ryan, senior in the Chicka-
sha high school, was drowned yester-
day in the Washita river near lucille,
while endeavoring to save two mem
bers of his party, Misses Juanita Rose
and Laura Julien, from the very fate
that was his. According to eye-wit-
nesses to the tragedy, the death toll
barely missed including the two young
ladies also, they having been taken to
the bank and safety in strangled con
ditions only after the heroic efforts OF
young Ryan failed to save them.
The Presbyterian Christian En-
deavor society were picnicing on the
banks of the Washita, having gone to
Lucille by train early in the morning

suited them. Some were fishing

few of the girls were wading in the
shallow water at the point where the
rapids start Chas. Ryan and Kenneth
Teis were seining with dip nets for
minnows in the rapids. Below the
rapids is body OF comparatively still
water, sections of which are shallow,
but which contains deep holes. Mem

Before they realized their positions
they had slipped off into deep water
and the struggle commenced. 1t is
probable that the roar of the rapids
drowned the cries for help that may
have been given, and the party on the
bank were not aware that a tragedy
