Yesterday afternoon two children of James Nichols and wife, were drowned near the place of Robert White. The adopted son names Archie and their little daughter, aged five years, drove their cattle to the White farm tank for water. On their return Archie and sister went upon the ice on a pond at the side of the road. The ices breaking they both were drowned. The mother missing the children on the return of the cattle went down the road and finding the broken ice and evidence of the children’s whereabouts went into the pond at the risk of her own life and rescued the bodies of the children.
