Hazelton Arthur   19270708 p6
Boy From Colorado Drowned While in San Joaquin River   A youth of 19, Arthur Hazelton was drowned in the San
Joaquin river south of Stevinson Saturday morning while enjoying a picnic with a group of friends.  Hazelton
unexpectedly stepped into a deep hole, it is said by those who were with him, and was unable to get out.  It came very
near being a double tragedy, for a cousin, Frank McOsker, tried to save Hazelton, and was seized by the drowning boy.
The two went down three times, and finally McOsker was forced to break away to save his own life.  The young man
came from Florence, Colo., only a week ago, with his mother and brothers, and secured employed in a fruit cannery at
Tuttle, near Merced.  His father is still in Colorado.
