A most distressing accident occurred yesterday afternoon in front of the old 
saw mill at the Bayou where a lot of boys were bathing, young Adam 
Plattsmier, son of Mr. Charles Plattsmier was also bathing. In some way he 
got beyond his depth, and not being a swimmer, he went under, coming up 
twice, no help was offered him, the boys seemed to be paralysed with 
surprise and fright and before they recovered it was too late and the boy 
sank to rise no more. After a long hunt the body was at last raised by Mr. 
E. F. Millard, who caught it with a hook and line. All attempts at 
resuscitation failed as the body had been under water more than an hour 
before it was found. Coroner Sauders viewed the body and gave opinion in 
accordance with the above facts. Young Plattsmier was about 14 years old and 
had been in the employ of Mr. Millard as a newsboy, he was bright and 
intelligent and and (sic) his loss is irreparable to his parents.
