JACOB VAN DER VELDT'S CORPSE
CAME TO THE SURFACE YES
TERDAY
NEAR WHERE HE DROWNED.
CURRY INTO THE FACTS DUR
ING THE DAY,
BUT WILL HOLD NO INQUEST.
Says There Is No Doubt That Van
Der Ve1dt's Departure Was
Purely Accidental.

The body of Jacob Van der Veldt.
the employee of the St. Paul Boom
company, who was drowned by falling
from a boat near the Crosby bottoms
last Thursday was found yesterday
afternoon. The body came to the sur
face about one hundred yards of where
Van der Veldt sank and lodged among
the logs of the boom. The remains
were removed to the undertaking
rooms of Bantz & Co.
When Coroner Nelson was aprised
of the finding of the body he visited
the scene Of Van der Veldts death
and inquired into the circumstances
The investigation satisfied the coroner
that death was accidental, and no In
quest will be held. The details rs
learned were in substance those which
appeared in the G l o b of yesterday.
Van der Veldt attempted to reach the
approaching steamboat with a pike
pole, when the skiff in which he and
half a dozen other workmen were
drifting toward the steamer, struck a
submerged pile. The shock threw Van
der Veldt and Captain Jerry Weber
into the water. One Of the workmen
named Medium seized the captain
before he was drawn beyond reach
by the current and rescued him, but
by the time attention was turned to
Van der Veldt, he had been swept out
of reach and carried under the logs
The dead mans relatives live in Hol-
land.
Van der Veldt's funeral will be held
from Bantz & Co.'S undertaking rooms
at o'clock this afternoon. The re-
mains will be inferred at Anoka.
