DROWNED IN SALT FORK

A distressing accident near Nashville, in Grant county, Okla., last Saturday night, added three more victims to the list of those who have lost their life in the Salt Fork river.
A party of young people had accompanied W. H. Potter on a seining expedition, and as all were making merry seining they stepped off into deep water, and in their struggles to get to shore became enmeshed in the seine and three of them were drowned. Mr. Potter rescued three of his children but was unable to save all of them.
The dead are Caris Colwell, of Savannah, Mo., on a visit to his uncle, Wilber Platt; Eliza Potter and Wilber Platt, the girl being a daughter and Mr. Platt the son-in-law of Mr. Potter.
