Silver Lake Being Dragged for
the Body Of Anthony Fredson,
Former High School Boy
FIND PAPERS ON LAKE SHORE
Boy Had Been Missing for Day and 1t
Is Feared that He Has Either Conn
mitted Suicide or Has Been
Accidentally Drowned

People living in the neighborhood
of Silver Lake are today dragging in
the lake for the body of young man
supposed to be Anthony Fredson of
Pleasant Prairie, former student of
the Kenosha High school who it is
thought was drowned ii the lake on
Wednesday evening. Thursday morn
ing Justice Blum of Salem, tele-
phoned to the sheriff that the body of
Fredson had been found in the lake,
but this proved to be mistake and
no trace of the young man or his body
has as yet been found. Young Fred
son had lived with his father, Jorgen
Fredson in the 3town of Pleasant
Prairie and it is said that he had been
missing from his home for only a
young man said to answer the descrip-
ton of Fredson was seen walking
along the shores of the lake. Later
in the evening an insurance policy
and a lot of other papers which
evidently belonged to Fredson were
found on the shore of the lake, but up
to a late hour today no trace of the
body of the boy was found. Fredson
was nineteen years of age andsis said
to be boy of unusual temperament.
He was formerly a student ofathe Ke-
nosha High school, but he gave up
school work some time ago and had
since been working at the home of
his father. Fredson had been at work
on an invention and it is thought pos
sible that his mind might have been
deranged by constant Jon this in
vention and that he wandered away
from home.
Samuel Fredson, his brother, went
to Silver Lake on Thursdaysto make
some effort to solve the mystery of
the finding of the papersabelonging
to his brother but nothing has been
heard from him since that time.
The people in the Silver Lake
seem to be convinced
that the boy was drowned on Wednes.
day as they claimed that he acted SO
queerly that they watchedsfor his re-
turn from the shores of the lake but
that he was not seen later in the
evening. No trace of Fredson's hat
or clothing has been found about the
lake and the friends of3 THEOLOGY hold
that even if he was drowned his hat
would be found floating on the lake.
1t is just possible thatsthesboy threw
the pa Ders on thesbank of the lake in
order to give the impression that he
was drowned and then went to some
other part of the county.
The search for Fredson is being
continued this afternoon. Fredson is
well known to the students of the Ke-
nosha High School as he was stu
dent in the schools for several years.

lied with brilliant end runs, and
Clearly and O'Donne1l, the two Keno
sha halves, made sensational gains
for the home team, only to have the
ball returned by the splendid kicking
of the Chicago players. Toward the
end of the first half O'Donnen was
pushed over the Chicago goal for a
touchdown. In the second half both
D'Donnell and Beam managed to cross
the Chicago line, and with the two
goals kicked by Beam, the home team
had total of IL points. Towards the
end of the second half Waggoner, the
Chicago quarter back, met with a bad
injury. He was caught in one of the
scrimmages and his right shoulder
1islocated. He was carried from the
field, and while the injury is not a
permanent one, it will be some days
before he will be able to use his

defeats and it has met many of the
fastest independent teams in Illinois
and Wisconsin. The lineup and score

ia Chicago on Thursday for the little
car made at the Kenosha plant was
one of the ten cars to go through the
long ordeal with perfect score. The
Rambler was driven by Ted Collier
and not penalty of any kind was as
sessed against it during the three
days run. In fact the bonnet Of the
Kenosha car was never unsealed from
the time it left the factory in Ke
nosha. There were thirty cars in the
test and the showing made by the
Rambler was equal to any made by
cars costing great deal more. The
REQ car which was touted as one of
the cars which would certainly make
a perfect score was penalized in the
FIRST days run.

course the friends of the runners
turned out to cheer themson. Mayer
started out in the lead at the firing of
the starting gun and he held this lead
continually until he was passed by
Smith within a few feet ofsthe start
ing liue. Smith seemed to be 1oafing
and about the course it was noticed
that he was not up in front as had
been expected, but the finish of the
race showed that Smith was saving
his strength for the final struggle. AS
the men passed the Main street bridge
and came into the last lap of the race
Mayer seemed to have perfectly safe
lead and he maintained this lead until
the corner of Wisconsin street was
reached when Smith, fresh as daisy,
dashed past him and took the lead and
held it until after he crossed thy tape
and was accorded a winner. Smith
was strong when he finished and
seemed to be in condition for another
race of equal distance. No accidents
marred the race.
The order of the finish was as fol-
lows: Smith, Mayer, Christensen,
Lease, Duffy, Torkeisen, Curtis, Kent
and Knight. Four of the runners
failed to finish the course.
