Searchers Drag River in Vain
for the Body of Robert Kim
ball, Who Suicided.
WORK NEARLY ALL NIGHT
Worry Over Lack of Employment is
Believed to Have Caused Him
to End His Life.

Men are still at work dragging for
the body of Robert Kimball, who com
mitted suicide by drowning in the
Mississippi river near the Kahlke boat
yards yesterday afternoon. Nothing
has developed thus far to indicate
Kimball's reason for ending his life,
and it is thought that he merely be-
came Respondent over the fact that he
had not been working for some time.
The fact that the water is so deep
and so swift at the place where the
tragedy occurred makes recovery OF
the body difficult task. While it
remained near the scene of the drown
ing, it is much more likely that the
current carried it further down the
river and in that case it will probably
have to come to the surface before it
IS found.
So far as can be learned Kimball's
only relative here is a brother, Henry.
Work All Night.
Kimball'S death was witnessed by
several. He started out at though in
tending merely to take a swim. but
after he had gone some distance from
the shore he stopped swimming and
allowed the waters to swallow him up.
There seems little doubt that the case
was one of suicide.
The search for the body was begun
at once, and continued nearly all nign
and was resumed again today, but
without success.
