FRANK WHITE, DAUGHTER MILDRED
 CLARA HOLLAND DROWNED SUNDAY

Mr. White, either having be come exhausted or seized with eramp released his hold and his agonized wife saw him sink. She continued her efforts, however. and as she struggled she could feel his body at times with her feet She endeayored with ! F feet Ito lift him to the top. bat of course this was impossible. In telling her story 10 The News she said she would sink beneath the water, and it seemed 10 her that she would never rise again She finally gave up all hope, and became resigned 10 her fate. 1t ths time she says she heard the screams of Mrs. Brogdon crying 10 her not 10 give up. They seemed so near that=>he decided 70 make another effort. and final ly again grasped the grapevine held ont to her by Mrs. Brog5on Tht latter could reach bottom bx tifis time. and braeins bef- >4 II she#wa ale to drag Mrs. White to the edge of the water The latter was unable to talk when ~ha reached the shore. Int after | few moments agaalad Ter faculties.
 HeIp had arrived hy this tim. and the body o1 Mr. White was found near where it had sank and was dragged out 10 the weep. iHg wife. The hody of Miss Hoi- land Was nextreeoEered, also lot far distant. An improFjsfd drag made from trot line found on the bank or the river was brought into use, the cent r be- ing weighted with rocks. One end WAS carried ny men in a boat. while others walked on the bank and carried the other end. The first drag brought the body of Mildred to the surface When the body of Miss Holland was first taken from the water il was thought there were slight signs of life, but every effort at recus- sitation failed Nothing could h. done 10 bring back life to the bodies, although physicians from SpringdaIe Were soon on the scene rendering every assistance possi- ble.
 The only living witness to the } ginning ot ta= aPloaaAle tra4- ely ware the tIr-s smaller sAiifi- ron. They say tha two young ladies Hrre on q log which pros irefed from the bank out oerr the water. Their weight probah- ly loosed the log from is moor ing, which either threw the girls  into the water or they became Frightened and jumped in,
 The news of the tragedy was telephoned to town, and soon many people in autos and other conveyanees were on the scene. The ambulance of the Nix-Gallison Undertaking Co. had been order ed out to bring in the bodies, but before it arrived they were plac- ed in the car of Chas. H. Hewitt and thus brought to town. TheE were taken to the White home and prepared for burial by Mr. Nix. of the undertaking company.
 Funeral Services.
 Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at two 0 : clock over the remains of Mr. White and daughter. having be T deferred 10 await the arrival oi Mrs. Hattie Baker of Binghamp- ton, \.
