Robert kaplan, a Nine-year-
Old Boy Is Claimed by
the Mississippi

The body of Robert Kaplan, the
nine year-old boy whose mysterious
disappearance Sunday a + to I n o. n
thoroughly alarmed his relatives, was
found Monday morning at about II ~
O'Clock at the bottom of the river at a
point about $50 feet west OF the A.
Molde CARPENTER shop and about fifteen
feet from shore
The searching party, with graphing
hooks, had hardly started to rake the
bottom of the river in that vicinity
when Morris Nordstrom accidently
brought up the corpse with garden
rake. Drs. n. w. Chance and Fortier
were called to the scene, and after
examining the body found that the lad
had come to his death by drowning.
The boy, who, ever since his
mothers death when he was six
months old has been living with his
grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Chernikowsky, ZIG Second street
Southeast, accompanied his uncle at
about 3 D. m. to barn back Of the
house, where the latter went to see a
about some hides he had packed there.
When the uncle was ready to return
home young Kaplan was no where to
be seen. so the man naturally thought
the boy had gone home. In the
meantime the boy had gone to the
Conrad Roble confectionery store,
bought some candy and departed.
That was the last anyone recollects
of seeing the boy alive. He had
evidently gone straight to the river,
but whether it was to wash his hands
or play on the logs is not known. He
fell in the river and was drowned
some time before p. m ;, as a search
which begun at that time failed to
locate him anywhere.
An empty IA ID. sack was found In
his pocket when he was pulled out,
he evidently not having finished eat
ing the candy, which subsequently
dissolved in the water.
The remains were taken to the
Simonet morgue, and his father,
Harry Kaplan of Cedar Rapids, was
notified Of the accident. The father
ordered the body shipped there, and
Tuesday morning an uncle left with
the CORPSE on the 3::45 for Cedar
Rapids, where burial took place.
The grand mother became almost
insane with grief when she heard OF
the sad accident. The relatives state
that he had been very we'll behaved
little boy.

THOUGHT IT. WAS A REAL
"FLOATER'.

The carcass of dead hog covered
with blanket foated down the river to
Sank Rapids and created quite an ex-
citing time for a while in that village
the latter part of last week. Some
boys saw the thing coming down the
river and when it came in view they
rushed to town with the story that
hoater had reached that place. It is
said that several of the officials of that
village went out to take the foater in,
and were greatly irritated, when, upon
close examination, the fact was I'M
pressed on them that the fioater was a
dead hog. OF course Sank Rapids cred
its Little Falls with the CHASTITY joke.

HOW OLD IS Camp.

Fergus Falls, July 10: A huge mud
turtle was found in the vicinity of
Underwood this week with the
characters, ''171O A. NJ. H. cut In
the shell on it's back. The turtle was
found by Oscar Wilson. There is con.
siderable speculation as to whether
the number was carved by some early
explorer, as turtles live for several
hundred years.
