XE AT R1DGEWOOD CLAIMS TWO VICTIMS Keene Brown and Clarence Drigger4 Drowned in Columbia Mronday, Afternoon. Columbia State, August 8. Keene Brown and Clarence Drig gers, well known young men of Co lumbia, were drowned in Ridgewood lake yesterday a few minutes before noon. The lake is about 200 yards from the end of the car line and is a summer amusement park. The two young men who lost their lives and J. W. Parrent and J. B. Lewis, all employes of the Seaboard Air Line, were taking a boat ride on the lake. Brown, Driggers and Par rent were in one boat and Lewis in another with a boy whose name is not own. They had been down to the ion, and were on their way back to surrender the boats when the accident occurred. Lewis and the little boy were possibly 100 yards ahead of the other young men. Parrent, the young man who was in the boat with Brown and Driggers but was saved, said that the boat they used, No. 3, had water in it when they took it out. It was dipped out. John Faust, the negro, who rented them the boats, said the water h4d been splashed in by the people who last used the boat. Lewis verified this statement by Parrent. Parrent said the water continued to come in as they went down the lake and back. He thought the boat leak ed. They continued to dip it out, the best they could, but the boat went down about 200 yards west of the pa vilion and about 75 yards from shore. Parrent clung onto the boat, and Brown and Driggers made an effort to swim to the bank. A little boy came to Parrent and gave what assistance he could. Boat Examined. Several hours after the accident the boat was brought; up to the pavilion and examined, but no leaks were found. It is the theory that the oc cupants of the boat were sitting too much on one side and the water grad ually came over in the boat. The place, where the accident oc curred, is about seven or eight feet deep, if they went down in the chan nel of the creek, but when out of the channel, the water in this part of the lake is only four or five feet 4! ep. It is not known whether or not Brown and Driggers could swim. The young men, with the excepLion of Driggers, had worked Sunday night. Keene Brown was night watchman; J. W. Parrent is night hostler; J. B. Lewis is night clerk in the yard of floe, and Clarence Driggers was em ployed as fireman. He had not work ed for the past few days, owing to the engine on which he fired being "cut off." They went out yesterday morning for a little recreation, row ing on ihe lake. Driggers joined the party on the corner of Main and Tay lor streets. Body of Young Driggers Found. At a- late hour- last night the body of youn'g Driggers was found a few feet from .where he went down, but the body of young Brown has not been recovered/ It is expec+.ed that iis body will 1Se found eai-ly today, as the lake was partially drained and tihe water early this morsning was very low.. Efforts were made yesterday after noon to find them by diving, but to no avail. . The: locks were opened, about 3.30 o'clock and the water receded at the rate of about a foot an hou.r. The locks were watched carefully so that if the bodies came down they would be seen. ' eene Brown. Keene Brown was the youngest son of Mrs. Scott Brown, who has charge of the Tavern at 1209 Main street. He was sixteen years old and a. boy that numbered his friends as many. For over two years he has been con nected with the Seaboard, and has gradually risen from one position to another, -until at the time of his death he was nigjit switchman. Among the railroad' m n, he was universally popular. He has lived in Camden and in North Carolina 'and there will be many in those parts and in Columbia that will be grieved to bear of his sad death. Clarence Driggers. Clarence Driggers, was the sonl of Henry K. Driggers, and lived at the corner of Lumber and Wayne streets. He was,21 years of age. He was em ployed as fireman by the Seaboard railway and was held in high esteem by .b6th the company and his fellow employees. He has liv4d in Columbia since last January, his family moving here from Summerville. His father is employed in the shops of the Southern railway. TTIAN AT HENDERSON~VILLE.
