LITTLE HARRIS
BOY DROWNED
i LAST EVENING
In Water 45 Minutes—Fell
with Companion from
Willoughby Dock.
William John Harris, seven-year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Ijarris, of Juneau, was drowned
about 7:30 o’clock last night, when
a board on which he and little
Millard Andler, son of Mr. and Mrs.
T. J. Andler, were standing, tlshing
at the end of the dock extending
from the barn now used by the
Alaska Road Commission on Will
oughby Avenue, gave way under
them and both fell into the waters
or Oastineau Channel.
The Harris boy was in the water
about 45 minutes. He rose to the
surface fcnly once according to his
little (brother, who, when he saw
him, implored hint to swim, but
the Little fellow sank again and did
not reappear. Tho little Andler boy
saved himself by holding to a pile.
It is estimated the water was about
12 feet deep where they fell In.
Attracted by the cries from the
othor little children nearby several
pasaeraby ran to the dock and saw
only the little Andler boy in the
water. Jimmie Ware, who war.
among them, did not hesitate an in
stant but plunged into the water
and rescued the Andler boy. It
was not known that the Harris boy
was in the water until Millard had
regained his breatM when his ttrat
words were: “Where is the other
boy who fell in with me? Did you
get him out too?”
A plkepole wap immediately se
cured from nearby and at the bot
tom, a few feet from where Millard
had been the body of the little Hji
rls boy wus found. He was brought
to the dock about 8:15 o’clock and
Dr. W. J. Plgg was summoned. Dr.
Pigg worked over the boy about two
hours but was unable to restore
his life. The younger Harris boy
had gone at once for his mother,
their residence being near, and a
neighbor went for the father and
uncle, John Hants, who hud gone
fo band practice.
Everything possible was done for
the recovery of the boy. Dr. Pigg
6tated that there wore no injuries
on IiIb body, as it was thought by
a number that he had been struck
by a piece of the plank which had
given way under him.
Tho little lad was born In Ju
neau, November 2, 1915. He is the
grandeon cf Richard Harris, one of|
the founders of Juneau. His parents!
