Also present to spend the day were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Crow and three sons, aged 6, 11, and 12. Mrs. Friske and Mrs. Crow are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Dunham. All five of the boys went to the dry creek bed in a nearby ravine to play. Suddenly a large chunk of earth on a 14 foot bank gave away and crashed down onto the two Friske boys and barely missed their three young cousins. The Crow boys tried to assist Jimmie and Paul and then ran to the Dunham home for help. Members of the families rushed to the scene and administered first aid, but soon the sad fact was apparent that the boys were beyond human aid. Jimmie had suffered a fractured skull and Paul a crushed chest by the heavy chunks. They were not covered the slide. The accident was investigated by Sheriff S.
