Girl Drowned.
Pollock, La., Aug. 22. - Celeste Floweree, a twelve-year-old daughter of B.F. 
Floweree, a blacksmith at the Iron Mountain Lumber Company's mill, was drowned
in Big Creek, just below the mill yesterday afternoon at about 2 o'clock. She was 
bathing in the creek with some other girls, when she got in too deep water 
and sank. The other girls became frightened and some of them came near 
drowning, but were rescued by men from the mill. The Floweree girl was dead 
when found.
