"Falling from a poorly-constructed raft while floating in a small body of water beneath the Highland avenue bridge in the Sweetwater valley, Darold Scott, eight years old, was drowned yesterday.

 "Three of the boy's companions who were at play with him, watched from the bank, when Darold fell into the water they ran terror stricken from the scene. The names of only one of the boys had been learned by Coroner S. C. Kelly last

night.

"The first person to reach the scene of the tragedy was a man named Burris. His son, Henry, age nine, was one of Darold's companions. Henry ran to his home about 300 yards from the pool and told his father what had happened.

"After instructing his son to run to a nearby service station and get help, Burris went to the pool to look for Darold. The boys body, however, had settled to the bottom and it was some time before it was found.

"Police and men from the fire department were at the scene in a short time but were unable to save the boy despite the use of an inhalator. Mrs. Scott reached the scene just after the body of her boy had been taken from the water.  She was taken home by the chief of police before the youngster was

pronounced definitely dead. The pool is about six feet deep. Al though comparatively small it has been enlarged materially by the rains.

"Darold is survived by his parents a sister, Betty Louise aged 4, and a brother, Andrew, aged 2.
