A little five-year old son of W. H. Tichenor, was drowned on
Tuesday of last week at Rumsey lock on Green river. The little fellow was on
the lock watching a passing boat and just as the boat got clear he fell in and
the fierce current immediately drew him into the pit and between the gates.
Life was extinct before help reached him.
