The Ouachita Telegraph
Friday, July 22, 1881
Page 3, Column 1

 While a number of colored boys were in the river bathing last Sunday
evening one of them ventured too far out into the current and was washed off
the bar into deep water, and, not being able to swim, was drowned.  Search
was immediately made for the body, but it was not recovered until next day.
