9-YEAR-OLD GIRL DROWNED

Lost Her Footing While Fishing at St. Landry Station.

The nine-year old daughter of Walter Hazleton, a thrifty farmer living on 
Bayou Cocodrie, in the Chicot country, was drowned in Bayou Cocodrie last 
Saturday evening, at about one o'clock.

In company with another young girl she was fishing in the Cocodrie, near the 
new station - St. Landry - when her hook became entangled in the brush near 
the bank of the stream. She attempted to catch it, and fell in, her body 
being recovered an hour afterward.

Her companion gave the alarm promptly, and divers immediately went into the 
water where she had fallen in, but her body had floated with the current 
some forty feet.
