Another bright young life snuffed out and another Ritzville home saddened! About 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon word was brought to Ritzville that Ralph Low, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Low, this city, had been drowned at Mud lake, while swimming with some schoolmates. Soon after dinner Tuesday Victor La Frenz, Raymond Lewis and Ralph Low walked out to the lake from town for a swim. They were having a fine time and about ready to leave the water and return home when Ralph said to his companions that he was going to swim across the lake. He made fine progress and was within 30 feet of the opposite side when Victor and Raymond noticed that he seemed to be in trouble; that he was not using his legs in the attempt to reach the shore; that in a moment he threw up his hands and went down. The boys then ran for Earl Colwell, who was at work in a nearby field, who hurried to the scene, and throwing off his clothing, plunged in. Earl is an expert swimmer, but could not find Ralph, although he made several attempts. Mr. Colwell then mounted his horse and rushed to town for help. Help was at once on the way in automobiles, Mr. and Mrs. Low, the distracted and bereaved parents, being in the party. Dr. Hewit and Mr. Low went into the water. The body was found entangled in the weeds. It was only after the most strenuous effort that the body was brought to shore. Mr. Low was so overcome and exhausted by his grief and efforts that he had to be taken from the water with a rope. Funeral services will be held at the Christian church this afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. S. M. Conner officiating. Ralph appears on both the 1900 and 1910 Ritzville Adams County census. His parent were Charles Low and Marian McKellips.
