WHEN ATTEMPTING FORD

~ party of Southforkers had a
thrilling experience on Tuesday of
last week when the wagon in which
they Were fording the %Southfork
went to pieces and forced them to
swim out. Fortunately they were
all able to get out of the torrent
and back to their homes, possibly
wiser, but none the worse for the
dipping. One of the horses was
drowned in the mixup. getting
caught in some way under the wa
gon.
According to Frank Kurtz, who
had been doing some work at the
Valley ranch. the party. consisting
of himself, the Misses Phillips and
Clark and Walter Cash, went over
to the Cox ranch in the evening,
he to see about some plumbing
work. They made the ford in fine
shape going over. the wagon being
sept across the river for them from
Ae Cox ranch. On their return
late in the evening they were ac-
companied , by Mr.. and Mrs.. Bud
Cox, using a wagon with a set of
dump boards on 1t for a wagon box.
Amid stream the running gears
dropped into a hole in the water
course and the dump boards tioated,
as did the occupants of the wagon
after the first plunge into the river,
all of them being able to swim but
Miss Clark who was taken in towe
by the men of the party and landed
safely on shore. Cash, it is said,
found instant relief for their chill
illness when they found themselves
once more on terra firma and the
party returned to the Valley ranch.
