BOY DROWNS,

George Cizek, aged l6 years, son OF
Mrs. Emma Click, Chicago street,
drowned in the lake off the foot of Chi
cago street, near the piling of the old
pier, last Sunday morning at 1890
o'clock The body was recovered at
three o'clock in the afternoon, after a
search of four and a half hours, during
which time the lake bottom had been
dragged by the police of the city and
others. The news of the drowning
spread rapidly throughout the city, and
hundreds Of people hurried to the beach
to watch the search for the body of the
drowned boy. The body was found in
shallow water about 80 feet from the
shore, to which place it had evidently
been carried while the dragging was in
progress. The discovery was made by
two boys who were then occupying the
same skiif from which Cizek was
drowned. The remains We're taken In
charge by undertakers urbanek *

George Cizek and Frank Kautsky,
Jr, secured row boat Sunday morning
from Reinhardt Iechel and went out on
the lake for pleasure trip. kautsky
was rowing the skiff and Cizek was
seated on board placed across the
frail craft. When they arrived at a
point in the lake near the old pier piling,
Cizek stood up to look around. This
caused the boat to rock, and minute
later the skitf capsized. Cizek, who
was good swimmer, made an effort to
reach the shore; but, after swimming a
few strokes he suddenly went down
and stayed down. There is reason to
believe that he was sieled by cramps.
Kautsky went down twice. but he
finally managed to grab the side of the
overturned boat, to which he clung
until assistance reached him five or ten
minutes later He was rescued by John
Boch and Charles Clauder.
Mrs. Cizek was nearly prostrated
when the sad news of her sons drowning
was broken to her. She is widow. Her
husband died about two years ago.
Another son, Charles, aged ten years,
survives with the grief-stricken mother.
The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon
at o'clock from the residence on Chi
cago street.
