MAY HAVE SHOUTED
Several Men Who Heard Call for Help
From the River Tuesday Night,
Think Drowning
Occurred.
MAY HAVE SHOUTED

That Eugene Sweringer, sand dig
ger employed by the Miller Brothers
Co. Of this city. was the man who
called for help late Tuesday night near
the opening of the city sewer, is the
belief held by some. Sweringer, who
has been working as pump man for
the sand concern during the last three
years, disappeared on the night that
the shout was heard by several men
who happened to be near the river
front.
When inquiries were made this
morning, it was learned that Swer-
insen was last seen after supper on
Tuesday by several fellow workmen.
The missing man was in his twenties
and single. He has a father at Greg
cry, Mo, and one Of the Miller broth
ers today expressed the opinion that
Sweringen might have gone to the
missouri town without telling any one
lof his intentions.
A boat put oft from the shore soon
| after the call for help was heard the
other evening, hut as stated in yester-
days paper, a floating body or other
evidence of a drowning was not dis
covered.
Friends of Sweringen intended cali

appeared at that place. Fea,

have met with some accident and
drowned, and the body did not rise to
