Young Slaven, who wotild celebrated his this coming September, 2nd was drowned in Meadow River Friday night, April 15th near the mouth of Burdette's" Creek ahfi several miles below East Rainelle. A companion, James Hickman, 16-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hickman of East Rainelle, saved his life by drifting with the current to the bank of the river, as local persons familiar with river conditions in this area say it Would have been (impossible fdr him to have swum 'Iri such swift current.

Heavy rub- be? boots worn by Slaven boy are thought to have impeded his saving his life, as he was not seen by Hickman after the boat the two were in had capsized. Four organized searching parties found the body at noon yesterday after they had been taken to points between Rainelle and Russellville by N.F. G. motors. Dave Miller of Ansted in the crew headed by Fred Pack sighted the body caught in tree roots, and after the crew had found various pieces of the boat in the area.

The territory in the area where the body was found was So rough that it was not until late afternoon that the crew, torn and scratched from head to foot, reached Rainelle with Siaven's body. It was necessary to cut path to travel a distance of something over a mile to the railroad track, the bdy being placed on a railroad motor at that point. The Hickman boy notified the Rainelle area of the Friday night tragedy by knocking the lock off a telephone box at Burdette's Creek and calling the dispatcher at Rainelle. Railroad employees and local officers left by motor at once for the scene, and returned the Hickman boy to his home. After changing to dry clothing, however, he returned to the scene of the drowning, and with companions had stayed almost continuously in the area searching for the body of his friend.

Hickman told the officers Friday night that he and Slaven were enroute to Nallen, a town many miles below Rainelle, at the time on Sunday afternoor were her of Slaven's drowning and after brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and paddling in East Rainelle Mrs. W. E. Moses of East Rainelle.
