Sunday, August 10, 1890 pg. 6 COLORED BOY DROWNED A crowd of small white boys stole their way down to Red River on the M.K. & T. passenger train Thursday and went in swimming. They were accompanied by a colored boy aged about ten named Jim Hight. They were all splashing around in the water and having a good time when some one noticed that Hight was missing, and a search failing to discover his whereabouts it was concluded that he must have been drowned. The boys came to town as fast as possible and gave the alarm and the boy's father left at once for the river with a seine to if possible recover the body.
