ESCAPE DROWNING IN GILA Bob Evans and wife had a narrow escape from drowning in the Gila river Monday eve- ning, while on their way to Ricolite to bring into town Misses May Williams and Anna Ellington. The river did not seem to be im- passable, but soon after driving in the horses commenced swimming. They were carried down the stream quite a distance, and reached the bank where it was too steep to pull the buggy up. The horses managed to climb onto terra firma, and Bob held on to the lines until Mrs. Evans jumped out and onto the bank. The horses broke loose from the buggy, and Bob managed to reach the bank all right, while the vehicle went end over end down stream. The top of the buggy was completely wrecked.
