CHILD DROWNED AT DIMMITT

One of the saddest accidents that has occurred in this community was the death of little Carroll Laird Bell by drowning last Saturday afternoon at Dimmitt, where Mr. and Mrs. Allen Bell with the children were visiting friends. They were at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Cash where a game of tennis was in progress. The children were playing about the yard most of the afternoon and the little fellow, about 16 months old, was with the other enjoying, in his childish way, the merriment. It appears that all the children except Carrol had gone on the opposite side of the house from where Mr. Cash and Mr. Bell were playing, and nothing was thought of his absence, when someone asked about him. A search was begun and Mr. Bell himself went immediately to the tank, which was an ordinary stock tank with the soil thrown up around, but failing to find him there he thought that his child was safe, but further search caused some one to make a more careful investigation, when the lifeless body of the little boy was found in the bottom of the tank. Every effort was made to bring back the little life but all availed nothing. The body was prepared for burial and brought to Hereford where interrment was made Sunday afternoon.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. T. Shore, assisted by Rev. W. M. Baker, at the Presbyterian church, where a large concourse of friends had assembled to pay the respects to the bereaved father and mother and members of the family. The four brothers of Mr. Allen Bell acted as pall bearers: Messrs. Grayson, Albert, James and Barclay T. Jr. Relatives in attendance were: Mrs. Vance Guist of Amarillo, Mr. Harvey Cash and family of Dimmit. The grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Bell whose home is near Dimmitt, were at Galveston on a visit and could not be communicated with in time for them to attend.
A long procession of friends followed the remains to the city cemetery, where the little body was laid to rest by loving hands. The bereaved father and mother, the grandfather and grandmother, and other relatives, who will miss the happy face, have the deepest sympathy of all their friends and acquaintances in this sad hour.
