Attorney D. J. Keefe Loses His Life
Sunday, July 21, While
Bathing.

Considerable excitement was Gre
ated in Rolla, n. D., Sunday after
noon when word was brought to
town that Attorney D. J. keefe had
been drowned while swimming in
Stata's Lake. Immediately all the
livery rigs were pressed into service
and everyone who could started for
the lake, some to help in the recov-
cry Of the BODY and others to watch
operations.
The story Of the drowning, as
told by Mr.. Keefe's companions, is
as follows:
About 2 NJ Messrs. Hanson. Oh
livery rig and driver and went to the
lake for bath. Mr. Hanson was the
first to get into the water, but
Messrs. keefe and Rees soon fol-
lowed. When Mr.. Keefe, who was a
good swimmer, got about two-t thirds
Of the distance across the lake,
which is 200 feet wide, Mr.. Hanson
noticed that he was lying in the
water making no effort, but before
Mr.. Hanson could reach him, Mr..
Keefe went down. When he arose,
Mr.. Hanson took him by the left
arm and started to swim with him
to the shore, but the drowning man
grasped Mr.. Hanson by the free hand
and both went under. Mr.. Hanson,
who is 63 years of age, released Mr..
Keefe's hold upon him in order to
save his own life. When the body
rose the third time, Mr.. Hanson at
tempted to seize hold of it, but was
unable. In the meantime Mr.. Rees
was making frantic efforts to reach
him. Messrs. Hanson and Rees then
tried to reach the body by diving,
but these efforts were unavailing.
Many citizens went to the lake
and endeavored to find the body by
means of graphing hooks and dyna-
mite. These efforts proving fruit
less, the search was abandoned until
Monday morning when the body was
secured and brought to P. Dixon's
undertaking rooms. Coroner Robt.
Hamilton held an inquest in the
afternoon and returned a verdict of
accidental drowning, after the most
heroic efforts Of his companions to
save him. .#
MI. Keefe was a single man about
35 years of age and had been resi-
dent of North Dakota for the past
fifteen years. When he first came to
North Dakota he settled at Buxton.
In 1898 he came to Ramsey county
and taught school for two years. He
then moved to Towner county,
where he taught school for about
three years. In the fall of 1904 he
was candidate for the office of
Judge of probate and was defeated
by seven votes. During this time
he had read law with Davis & Sen
net Of Cando and Rateson & Plymat
of Rolla and was admitted to the
bar In 1903. After the election, in
1904, he leased the plant of the
Perth Journal and was the editor.
of that paper for nearly two years.
