Drowned in Idaho River.

Mrs. Frances FULTON of Pocatello, Idaho, arrived here Friday with the body of her son, Raymond, who was drowned near that place the 5th inst. He was a lad of nine years, born in this city and reared here until the mother went west a year ago. He was in a boat when another boat containing some children capsized near by. The boatman went into the water to the rescue, the boy became frightened, tried to reach the shore and was drowned. The body was not recovered until Tuesday. Many old friends here will sympathize with the family in this tragic death of one of its members. Funeral services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. FULTON, grandparents, Saturday, conducted by Rev. Alex. Corkey.
