Drowned
Last Sunday, George Shields of Dallas, left Fort Worth in his buggy, having with
him his little son, about six or seven years of age. In crossing Village creek,
which was swollen by the recent rains, the team was forced to swim, and was
floated off down the creek. Mr. Shields endeavored to get out of the buggy with
his son, but became entangled in some way, and in his struggles, lost his grasp
on his boy and saw him sink to rise no more.
