Marion Mention
Two boys, Levy Naylor and Eddy Bloom, were drowned last night about sundown in Dry Creek, near Burnett, while in bathing. It seems as though the place where they went in at was their old bathing place of last year and they probably thought the water was not any deeper than last year, where they had been many a time before, but they were sadly mistaken, for the late rains had washed the hole out to the depth of sixteen feet, and the boys expecting it the same as before, probably jumped in with that expectation. One might have gone in first and gone beyond his depth and the other went to his rescue, for they were both found about 10 o'clock lying together at the bottom of the place where they were bathing.
