DROWNED 1T UNDSIR()M
MET A SAD FATE THERE
YESTERDAY
ROW BOAT WAS OVERTURNED
AS He Could Not Swim He Sank to
Death Before Aid Gould Reach
Hfm-Body Found After
Long Search.

George F. Wagner, of this city, was
| drowned at Lindstrom yesterday morning
| at 5 o'clock, by the overturning of a boat
in which he and companion had gone a
short distance from shore to take a bath.
Wagner and John Gunther owned a cot
tage at the lake, and with a party of
| friends from town had gone to spend
Sunday there. Early yesterday morning
Wagner and Albert Haberbeck rowed out
about $50 feet from shore to battle Not
realizing the depth of the water, they
were playfulIy tipping the boat, when
both lost their balance and fell in. Meth
er could swim, but Haberbeck, who had
removed his clothing, caught hold Of the
boat and held on, being quickly rescued.
Wagner had his clothes on and sank i'm
mediately, not rising to the surface.
Search was at once begun, but the body
was not recovered until about o'clock In
the afternoon.
AS Wagner was subject to epileptic fits,
it is believed he was seized with the mall
ady just as the boat tipped over The
appearance Of the body when recovered
bore out this view.
Wagner lived with his parents at 602
THOMAS street. He was twenty-nine
years old and unmarried. For the past
ten years he had been a compositor in
the employ Of the West Publishing COM
pany. He was member of Topographic
cal Union No. 80, and was well known
in labor circles in the city.
The body was brought to the city last
evening on the special train bringing in
Copeland camp, NJ. w A, picknickers
from Russell beach, and taken to the
rooms of Undertaken Willwerscheid, on
st. Peter street.
The funeral will occur tomorrow at st.
Agnes church at 9 o'clock.
