ADAIR, Jennie - A sad case of drowning occurred near Wyman last Saturday. The three daughters of Mr. J.K. Adair had crossed White river in search of pecans and in returning they undertook to cross at an old ford. Two of them were riding one horse and they were in the lead. The ford had washed out considerably and when they got into deep water the hindermost girl told them to turn back which they tried to do but in pulling the reins the horse went down and the girls fell off. One of them managed to get to shore but the other, Miss Jennie, was drowned. She was an estimable young lady about 17 years of age and her unfortunate death is a sad affliction to her family who are among our best people.

Saturday afternoon another life was lost in the treacherous waters of White river. Miss Adair and another lady were crossing the river near Goshen, riding the same horse when the animal stepped in a deep hole, throwing the ladies over his head and the former was drowned. Miss Adair was a sister of Professor Adair.
