Mule and bale of seed cotton lost at Bosque crossing
Chas Fehler, living miles north of town, drove into the Bosque river crossing five miles above town. A slick bank and rocks caused his mule to sink and drown, the wagon overturning and a bale of seed cotton washing away. The mule and cotton loss totaled several hundred dollars, with the horse badly frightened and recovering after days. Fehler narrowly escaped drowning while attempting rescues, and friends regret the financial setback.
