 Frederick Rehm was drowned Sun day afternoon, about 3:3O in the ice
 
 He was swimming across the pond when suddenly he ceased to swim and went down. When he came to the sur face other swimmers started to his as- sistance and one of them passed board to him, but he seemed to be un- able to obtain a good hold of it and again sank to the bottom and did not rise again. The news spread quickly and in less than an hour a large crowd of people were at the edge of the pond to see if they could find any evidences of the body. Swimmers dived repeat edly for several hours after the drown ing, but were unable to discover any signs of him. Later in the afternoon rude raft was built and dragging for the body was attempted. but although the efforts to find him were continued until quite late it was impossible to discover the body. At an early hour this morning search was resumed for long time without Suc- cess. Finally about 9 a. m. the body was discovered by Michael But Ter, who with several others were div ing for it. The body was removed to Twitchelfs morgue after it had been viewed by Coroner Futile. MT Rehm was A years old. He lived at 315 North Main street, Union City, and was employed in the packing room of the G. I. R. Glove Co.
