WOMAN DROWNS AND FAMILY WATERBOUND

McAlester, OKLA, May 15.-- The family of James F. Floyd is waterbound at their home near Quinton, Okla., with the body of Mrs. Floyd awaiting burial and a 15 year daughter, June, seriously in need of medical attention, according to a telephone message received here.

Mrs. Floyd was drowned Sunday and the girl injured when a motorcar overturned and threw them into San Bois creek. Since then the stream has risen steadily, isolating their home.
