Darlington Boy Drowned.

The Darlington Democrat: Glen Van
Brunt, lad of twelve years, was
drowned about fifty feet above the race
bridge Saturday afternoon, in the pres
ence Of several other boys Of about his
age. They had gone to the river imme
diatelv after dinner and had been in the
water but a short time when wan
started for the opposite shore. When
about half way across he called for
help, and the three chums, Snearing,
Kirwan and Anderson, who were then
in the river, made for him. They got
out far enough, first one and then
another, to take hold of him, but real
izing it was not boys job to grapple
with one who is drowning, and not be-
ing skilled swimmers themselves, in
their CONSERVATION they left him and
called for help Those who rushed to
the spot and got into the river, worked
near the gate where the water is swift
and deep and where they reasonably
believed the body would wash. But
contrary to this general opinion, the
boy was found by Dr.. John Holland,
almost exactly where he was last seen
alive.
