Swift river currents pull Hattieville resident to his death

Thirty-four year old James Young, a messenger of Hattieville, was with five friends swimming in a river two miles behind New Site in the village shortly after midday on Saturday.  But Young disappeared under swift currents and not even CPR could revive him when he was later found.  His friend, forty three year old Dudley Gongora told police that they unable to help and by the time they got him to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital Young was dead.
