Walter Young was drowned yesterday afternoon in St. Catherine Creek
near that section of
Liberty Road back of the Old Fair Grounds. His brother, Walter Young,

fatal accident said that
Edgar, who could not swim, attempted to cross the creek and stepped
beyond his depth in a place
where the water was eight or ten feet deep. The older boys said
that they frequented the
"swimming hole" last year and that all felt safe because at that time
the water was not over their
heads. The accident occurred about three thirty o'clock in the
afternoon and the body was not
recovered until over two hours later. Aided by M. P. Phelan,
