RIO GRANDE CITY, Feb. l2.
The Rio Grande near here is
being dragged in an effort to To-
cate the body Of Douglas Pope,
age 25, who lost his life early
this morning when he attempted
to swim across the river on his
return from Camargo, Mexico,
to the American side of the
river.
Pope. who is the son Of John A. Pope
Of this city, and a brother Of County
Attorney John A. Pope Of this city, was
with Tom Foltz, and the two missed the
last ferry at a. m. today. Rather than
be late for work, the two decided TO
swim the stream.
They were within 10 feet Of the Am
erican bank when the swift current
sucked Pope under. Attempts by by
standers to save him were futile, and
heroic effort of a 15-year old boy,
who swan the river in an attempt to
rescue Pope, was also of no avail.
The boy after finding that he was
too late to save Pope, swan back and
helped Foltz. who was in mid-streani,
having been pulled back by the eafrenf
which sucked Pope under the water.
Young Pope was in the employ Of an
oil company, operating on the Mexican
side of the Rio Grande.
