BOY DROWNED.
Ed. Lind Meets Death While Swimming
in the Minnesota.

A drowning accident occurred in the
Minnesota river five miles north of
the'city Sunday afternoon, sin Nicol-
let county. Ed. Lind, the seventeen
year old son of Chas. Lind, who re-
sides on the Nicollet side of the river,
was the victim. The boy, together
with several other lads from the same
neighborhood, were in bathing.
Young Lind went out beyond his
depth, and was carried away by the
current.
The body had not been recovered up
to Monday, although a search
has been in progress all day. This
aftern DON a neighbor came to the
city and purchased dynamite to use
in dislodging the body If it is caught
in snag.
Young Lind was large boy for his
age, and was employed on farm at
the time of his death. He was well
liked by all who knew him, and his
death is sad blow to his family.
1t appears that Lind's companions
were unable to save him.

with his life. for he was found dead in
