BROWNS AT BRIDGE
Oscar VaIerius. of Davenport
Victim of First Fatality
in River Here.
FRAlL sKIFF OVERLOADED
Capsizes and Three Boys are Thrown
Into Water Body Not
Recovered.

By the overturning of a steel hunt
ing boat at the Rock Island bridge
about o'clock last evening Oscar Va
lerius, the l6-year-old son of Henry Va
lerius, of Davenport, was drowned and
Roy Baumgarten and Lawrence Voelk-
ers, two companions, had narrow es-
capes.
The three boys, two of whom we're
high school students. had gone for a
ride on the river in a small hunting
boat intended to carry but one person.
The fact that the craft was overloaded
is probably the cause of it's overturn-
ing in the swift current at the bridge.
Young Valerius, as soon as he was
thrown into the water. set out for
shore, which was about 300 feet away.
but was caught in an eddy and sank
never to reappear. Voelkers was wash
ed away from the overturned craft.
but Baumgarten kept hold upon it and
was buoyed up by the air chambers
that prevented it from sinking.
RescuerS Near.
Near the boys at the time of the
accident were Gus Reimers and Hugh
Mullen, of Davenport, in launch, and
on hearing the cries Of the bows thev
hastened to the rescue. Young Valeri-
US had already sunk when they ap-
preached. but the other two boys were
picked up.
Efforts to recover the body of young
Valerlus were at once begun and con-
Quoted part of the night and today,
but without result. The current being
swift and the water deep. the work is
rendered unusually difficult.
