They were riding in a Ford runabout driven by young Evans and were near the center of the bridge when one of the front wheels struck a plank which was loose and stuck up above the others. The car going at a pretty fair rate of speed plunged to one side and broke through the railing into the deep water carrying both occupants with it. Mr. J. Hancock a resident of that section, was on the bridge at the time of the accident having just met the boys and hearing the crash in time to turn and see them go into the water. Both came up and started to swim toward a plank that fell from the bridge but were unable to reach it. Mr. Hancock rushed to the bank with another plank in the hopes of rendering assistance but both had went down and never came up. The news soon spread and searching parties gathered in an endeavor to rescue the bodies but from the last information with no success. Howard Lee was the son of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Lee and Gerald was the son of Mrs. Emma Evans. The sad part of the tragedy is that Mrs. Evans is now the only surviving member of her family. Fourteen years ago the husband and two children, a son 12, and a daughter, 14, were drowned in the Snake river, while Mrs. Evans was an eye witness in an endeavor to save them from the river.

C. and Della E. Longwell, was born at Archie, Missouri, Cass county, Dec. 13, 1908. In 1917, his parents moved to Vale, Ore. While living there, Lawrence confessed faith in Christ and United with the Christian church. In January 1921, Mr. Longwell moved to New Plymouth, Ida. to take charge of the Van Patten lumber yard. Here during the next year the entire family gained many freindships and were very faithful in church and town activities. On Oct. 31, 1921, the family was saddened by the death of Mrs. Longwell. Since that time Mr. Longwell has kept his children with him with the exception of last summer when they went east to spend their vacation with their grandparents. This fall Mr. Longwell's father and mother returned with them to Idaho to live here for the school year. Lawrence has always seemed to be a robust boy but was taken ill suddenly Wednesday and in spite of all that could be done for him passed away Sunday morning at 10:30. The funeral was held Sunday evening at the Congregational church. The services were conducted by the Rev. Rice, Lawrence's scoutmaster. After the funeral, Mr. Longwell took the body to Archie, Mo. to be placed beside the mother. He is survived by his father and little sister, Mildred, aged nine and four grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Longwell and Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Hodges and other relatives. "Larrie" was a faithful member of the Boy Scouts where he was known for his sunny dispostion and his willingness to do his share in every undertaking. He was a freshman in high school and a member of his class basketball team. He entered into all school activities with the greatest of interest. The whole high school was saddened Monday by his death. His teacher's missed his spontaneous smile and ready answers. Instead a group of boys about his seat in intermission enjoying his laughter and clever speeches, there was nothing but the empty desk to remind them of their loss. Lawrence was never morose, never rebellious, and did not hold a grudge against anyone. He was wise beyond his years in his courteous behavior and well chosen remarks concerning others -- His absence from school will be felt keenly by class mates and teachers. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved ones in this their great and sudden loss.

Mrs. Driscoll had not been will for some time, and since the birth of her baby three weeks ago, she had been extremely nervous and could not sleep nights. When Mr. Driscoll came from the orchard that evening he found her walking about the yard carrying the two children in her arms, he told her she should not do it as she was not able, but she said they wanted to be carried. Mr. Driscoll went to the barn to attend to the chores, returning to the house and found a note on the table written by Mrs. Driscoll, which stated in words to the effect that he would be better off without her, that she had done the best she could, but gave no intimation of the act that followed. Mr. Driscoll became alarmed and at once notified the neighbors and started with a lantern in search of his wife and babies and soon found tracks leading toward the irrigation canal which is but a few rods away from the house, but only a ditch about four feet wide and the water two feet deep. After following the ditch to where a screen had been built, he returned and found the mother lying in the ditch unconscious with her head out of the water on the bank at a p! oint near the house. With the assistance of neighbors she was taken to the house, and a further search in the dark for the missing children, the lifeless body of the infant was found some two hundred feet below where the mother was found and the body of the boy at the screen a half mile below. The bodies were taken to the Undertaking parlor at Ontario and the funeral held from the Catholic church this (Thursday) morning. The mother is in a very critical condition both mentally and physically but the attending physician has hopes of her recovery. The sad coincident has brought grief to the entire community, as Mrs. Driscoll has always been a very devoted wife and mother, and the family highly respected by many neighbors and friends and the sad affair can only be tribute to ill health which undoubtedly brought on temporary derangement.
