Fatal Bathing—Son of Rev. J.H. Dudley Becomes a Victim of the Merciless Waters.

	A terrible sad accident happened in this city on Thursday afternoon, it was the
drowning of a twelve year old son of Rev. J.H. Dudley of this city, in the mill
race just above the head gates on the west side.  Mr. Dudley and his son had
been fishing and the little boy asked his father to let him go in bathing, the
father thinking there was no danger as the water was calm and not so very deep,
but it appears there is an abrupt decent[sic] in the bottom of the stream, and a
strong under current, which carried the boy under very suddenly.  The father on
the bank, who could not swim, called loudly for help, which soon came from the
mills near by and the body was speedily recovered, and medical aid called in,
but all efforts failed to restore life.
