Oscar Lloyd Goes in Swimming
Near King Hill at Rock
Bluffs and Drowns.
Yesterday afternoon the obi
Missouri river, with ils deep
whirlpools, claimed another
victim in itie person of Oscar
Lloyd, a youm-' man residing
near -Murray. The drowning oc
curred near Kin'- Hill, several
miles south of this cily, where
Mr. Lloyd and several companions
were engaged in swimming there
in the rivei-. From what can.be
learned of the accident it seemed
that Lloyd xxas not much of a
swimmer and had been warned
several times of Ihe danger of getting-
out into the deep water, but
did not heed the adx ice of his
friends ami started out into lip-
deep xxater, and the first -aw of
his plight xxas when he suddenly
sank out of sii-hl. His twin broth
er, olixer Lloyd, attempted to
rescue hi- unfortunate companion
ami being unable to swim xxas
nearly drowned himself, as it xxa
