 The body of Rudolph Swanson, the 17 years old boy who was drowned in Webster's pond in Mill vile yesterday. was recovered last evening about o'clock. There was much time lost in searching tor the body because the necessary articles were not at hand. The ice on the pond was not strong enough to ven ture upon so that those present could use the grappling irons to any ad- vantage. It was necessary to go over to Mir Honkie's or the shore of Long Meadow pond and bring in d boat so that the searchers could get out to the place where the boy went through the ice. After the boat had been secured the work of dra gging the irons through the deep water of the channel was begun and in jess than an hour from the time of se- curing the boat the body was brought to the surface. Permission n was given by Medical Examine: Johnson for the removal of the body and it was taken to the morgue of H. P. Mccarthy. where it is at the present time. The arrangements for the funeral are not complete as an effort is being made to locate tl.e boys father. who left here short time ago for New Haven. where he had secured employment.
