RED RIVER CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM
Seven-Year-OId Boy Falls in River and
Is Drowned.

Fargo-The Red river claimed it's
first victim of the season at this point.
1t was Donald Jones, 7-year-od son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Jones of the Rob-
erts hotel.
Running away from his mother, it
is said, the lad went to the river bank
with a companion. The first intima-
tiOn Of the whereabouts of her son was
when the companion came to her and
told her that Donald had fallen into
the river and disappeared.
Although searchers took up the task
of dragging at once, their efforts to
find the body were futile.
Details Of the accident are some-
what vague. The accident occurred ut
the dam and it is presumed the lads
had been wading when Donald was
dragged down by the current.
The father who had been away Oh 4
business trip, arrived in Fargo just in
time to learn of the fate of his son.
