The Covington Star January 31, 1893
(Rockdale Banner)
     Mr. Bill SMITH and family in attempting to cross the bridge over Yellow 
River Tuesday, met with a serious accident. His mule became frightened of the 
ice, and backed until the rear wheels run over the railing, turning the wagon 
body bottom side up into the river. Mr. and Mrs. SMITH leaped from the wagon, 
but the children were thrown into the river. Mr. SMITH soon checked the animal, 
and then recovered his children, but not until his little girl was almost 
drowned. Through the kindness of  Mrs. Tess STONE they were soon in dry 
apparel, and with other kindness administered, they were soon very comfortable.
