Bismarck Tribune, 17th:—A sad case of drowning was that of little Willie Garrett, ten years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. Garrett, who live three miles north of the city, Sunday morning. The boy and his brother two years older were gathering flowers along the banks of Hay creek, when Willie stepped on a stone in the water nearly eight feet deep, and his brother jumped in after him. The drowning boy grabbed his brother's feet and was pulling him down when the large family dog, with wonderful wisdom, jumped into the water and catching the older brother by the coat pulled him out. But for the action of the dog both boys would have been drowned. When Mrs. Garrett arrived at the edge of the creek it was a sad scene. Knowing that her little boy was under the water, she rushed to the brink and was about to plunge in when caught by two men. The body was soon recovered and the funeral took place yesterday afternoon.
