Hero’s Body found.
Hot Springs. Jan. 17—A tele
phone message Tuesday night
stated that dredgers had found
the body of “Slim” Stevens, who
was drowned one week ago yes
terday (Wednesday) a few miles
above that city in a boat accident.
The body was found 200 yards
below the bend, and was brought
to this city. Stevens died in an
effort to save his companions
from freezing to death.
When the boat capsized all
three clung to the willows in
midstream. They blew horns and
yelled for help, but failed to at
tract attention from the shore.
Stevens, being an expert swim
mer, told his companions that he
might as well die as for them to j
freeze to death, and he plunged j
into the strong current. Al- j
ready numbed from cold, Stevens
sank, and just at that moment a
rescue party was seen approach
ing.

let them know of her predica- ;
ment.
