G. Grey Evans, 15, student, died attempting to save James R. Driggers, 14, from drowning, Chickasha, Oklahoma, June 1, 1910. Grey, who could not swim, waded to the edge of a sandbar and extended his hand to James, who was helpless in the swift current of the Washita River in water eight feet deep. As James caught his hand, Grey slipped into the deep water, and both boys went under the surface. James freed himself, came to the surface, and was later rescued. Grey did not reappear. 5272-556
