"Accidental Drowning"
Verdict Returned In Case Of Eugene Mills

YOUTH WERE WITNESSES

"Accidental drowning while wading in Blue River" is the verdict of Dr. George I. Inlow, coroner for Shelby county, on the death of Eugene Mills, age thirteen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mills, of west Washington street. The report of the coroner has been filed with the clerk of the Shelby Circuit Court. The Mills lad was drowned several days ago in Blue River at the west edge of the city. The body was recovered after several hours search. Witnesses who testified before the county coroner were Charles Goebel, assistant chief of police; Earl Ellis, local Salvation Army captain; James Mills, a brother of the drowned lad; Otto Wilson and Ulysses Watkins, who were with the Mills boys at the river. The two Mills boys did not know how to swim, according to the story related by James Mills. He said that he was on the bank putting on his clothing, when he saw his brother struggling in the water. The lad called to the Wilson and Watkins boys, who jumped into the water in an attempt to rescue the drowning boy. They were unable to get him out, because of his struggles, which endangered them. The boys put on some clothing and ran for aid. Monday Afternoon, July 27, 1925
