of three Iowans who lost their lives
in Canada by violent means, all former
residents Of this section of the state,
was brought back from South Sasha
toon yesterday and will be buried to-

who had recently gone to Canada to
seek his fortune, was drowned. T. F.
Quinlan, the Canadian partner OF
young Lawson, accompanied the body
here. A coroner's inquest was held
but it was declared there was no evil
dence of foul play altho the manner in
which Lawson met his death is mys-
terry. The body had been in the river
ten days. He went to Saskatoon for
machinery repairs. In his pockets were
found his letters and his return rail-
road ticket. His money which he car
ried with him was nearly all accounted
for. The theory of the officials in Can

twenty eight miles from there. The
body was badly decomposed.
