SMALL BOY IS DROWNED

Frightened Companions Fail to Report Tragedy at Tongue Point

Astoria, Or., June 6

Sigfrid Nelson, the 9 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Knute Nelson, of 
Alderbrook, was accidentally drowned last night by falling overboard from the 
bulkhead near the Tongue Point Lumber Company’s mill. The body was recovered 
this morning. The lad, with two younger boys, was playing about the wharf when 
he fell into the water. His companions immediately ran home, but were so badly 
frightened they did not report the accident and nothing was known of it until 
several hours later.
