Tho Northfork river is a beautiful
romantic stream the placid blue of
whose waters shaded by tho overhang
ing foliage of trees and bordered by
rich green lawns give it that appear
ance of innocence that so attracts one to
a mibs in her teens Yet within those
depths of beauty repose tlio relentless
clutches of death and many an nnfor
tunnto victim now fills an utitiinely
gravo because of the seductive yet tor
rlblo waters of tho Northfork Another
youthful lifo has been sacrificed to t ho
rapacious greed of that awful river tho
twenty second person it is claimed
within tho past Hi years who has gone
into tho water iu the full vigor of health
and known no more until the judge
ment tiny Bravo Nate Owen sacrificed
his lifo last ovening to save that of his
companion and today thero is mourn
ing not only in his own homo but in
overy homo 111 tho city over tlio unsuc
cessful result of his gallant deed
The startling cry A boy drowning I
was spread about tho street with
rapidity shortly before i
oclock last evening and iu 11 very fow
moments crowds of peoplo had gathered
on tho banks of tho river near tho mill
dam each eager to render all assistauco
possiblo to help save tho drowning boy
Volunteers wcro at work iu a fow mo
ments aftor the alarm was given
dragging tho stronni for tho boy whom
it was hoped to rescue boforo it was too
late to rovivo him But although tho
men worked with frantic haste it was
over an hour beforo the body wns found
nnd brought to tho surface Whilo a
doctor was boiug sent for thoso present
nttempted to revive tho boy but woro
unsuccessful After DrMcakaynrrived
tho boy was touderly carried to tho
homo of W H Widaman where there
was a warm firo in tho kitchen and
every method possiblo was applied to re
store respratiou Willing hands helped
but after working over him more than
an hour tho effort was reluctantly given
up Tlio remains wero then removed
to Sessions Bells undertaking rooms
Tho story of this sad affair as
gathered from Win Kroeger who was
on tlio bank fishing at tho time and
Hrry Keeler tho 12 -years-old boy
whoso lifo was saved by young Owen is
wis follows Nato Owen and tho Keeler
boy wero soining for minnows upon tho
apron just below the dam where tho
water is only a fow inches deep but
flows very swiftly Tlio boards of
which the apron is made have accumu
lated moss and slime until they havo bo
como very slippery Whilo wading
around over this nnd when just about
tho center of tho apron tho Keelor boy
lost his footing nnd slid off into tho
water Vo feet deep below Nate Oweu
knowing that his companion could not
swim did not hesitate an instant but
courageously plunged iu after him
Owen was nu expert swimmer and lie
dived under tho other boy raising upon
his back and carrying tho other on his
breast Tho other was struggling and
the effort soon proved too much for
Owen who sank Ho camo up and suc
ceeded in pushing tho Keeler bey nearer
tho shore but again ho went down
For the third time Owen camo up nud
this timo ho caught tlio other boys toe
whether for self preservation or with
tho idea of still helping his companion
will never bo known as iu tho struggle
of tho Keoler boy to get to laud ho
kicked Owou loose who sank for tho
last timo A number of others fishing
in tho neighborhood had by this timo
gathered on tlio bank and forming a
chain they wont out aiid rescued tho
Keeler boy from his perilous position
Tho Owen boy wont down tho last time
nt about S 45 and his body was taken
from tho water nt 1 C0 Ho had quito a
severe bruso on tlio breast presumed to
havo been made by striking a hard sub
stance iu tho water during his struggles
Tho sceno on tho bank during the
search for the body was heart rendering
indeed Friends had hastily brought
Mrs Owen and her daughter Winnio to
to tlio river and tho grief of tho frail
little mother tho distress of tho sister
as thoy watched tho efforts of tlio men to
savo their boyevery momout an hour of
anguish as thoy realized that it lessened
tho chances of warding off tho awful
calamity that had fallou upon their
home caused strong men to turn their
faces and women wero not ashamed of
their tears of sympathy Iu this trying
hour Mrs Owon and daughter nltnougb

could bo done did not iinvo the support
