M. L. Kinion of the Basin country was seriously hurt while bathing in the Cimarron River the latter part of last week. Quite a number were in bathing and were diving off a large rock into the water, when Mr. Kinion in some way, lost his bearing and going down head foremost, struck the bottom with such force as to come near dislocating his neck. He was taken out of the water by those with him and for a time it was thought he would not recover. After some time, however, he was carried home where he has been under the care of a physician since.
He is reported some better but still in a precarious condition. (June 23, 1911, Mannford Herald).
