was notified and, after viewing the
body, gave permit to Undertaken
Zylka for it's removal.
Coroner Garretson says that he be-
lieves there is something in the water
of the pond that weakens anyone who
enters it, as during the past two
years seven persons have been
drowned there. The coroner says
that there may be some poisonous
substance in the water due to the
clay deposits, as 1t seems strange that
anyone who could swim should drown
in so small a pond. AS near as can
be learned, all of the victims were
strong, healthy persons and good
swimmers.
