Appleton.-Three people, Harold
Schultz, 21; his mother, Mrs. Charles
Schultz, 90, and neighbor, Mrs.
Frank Diener, 40, drowned when the
gasoline launch in which they had
started for pleasure ride was car
ried by the strong current in the
swollen Fox river over the upper
dam. Young Schultz, a wireworker.
had owned the boat less than a
month and was unfamiliar with the
engine and the river.
The engine baked in the center Of
the river, leaving the craft at the
mercy of the current. The river is
the highest it has been in thirty
years and no craft on the river is able
to buck the strong current.
Neither Schultz nor the two wom-
en- appeared to realize their danger
until it was too late. Schultz was
seen to leap out of the boat just be-
fore it struc kbroadside on the dam,
over which three feet of water was
flowing. The women were thrown
onto the rocks fifteen feet below and
ywallowed up by the boiling waters.

made Of Bishop Grafton by Robert
Powrie, a local sculptor, presenting
