August 28--Eddie Narrow, a son of John Narrow, aged about sixteen, was drowned Sunday in the river here while bathing. He, in company with Archie Yandoh, a lad of about sixteen years, went to the river for a boatride. After they had rowed around a while they went in bathing. The Narrow boy could not swim but was floating around on a butting of a sawlog, when a log came floating by. Leaving the butting he attempted to catch the log, but missed it, and went down. The Yandoh boy tried to save him, but his strength soon gave out and he was obliged to leave him. The news spread and a large crowd of people began a search for the body, which was found about one o’clock in five feet of water near where he went down. His remains were taken to his home on Morgan street. The place where he was drowned is near Yaleville, on what is known as the Harvey Dwinnel place which borders on the Raquette River.
