The Iowa river claimed its third VIC
Wednesday afternoon when Mrs. Olga
Diller, aged %, second cook in the
kitchen of the main building of the
soldiers home. and the wife of William
S. Diller, the first cook. ventured across
the riveS alone in a boat, fell out and
was drowned a short distance below
the boat landing north of the home.
The body was found about $50 o'clock
by Charles Swearingen, a fireman at
the home. near the opposite shore, ana
short distance down stream from
where Mrs. Diller put off in the boat.
No Witness to Drowning.
There were no witnesses TO the
drowning, altho there is someone usual

ed Mrs. Diller home from across the
river ahead of her husband. probably
also drove from the boat landing ana

members or others who may have been
there.
Diller had taken boat and gone
across the river to some ponds beyond
for bait Mrs. Diller accompanied her
husband. Reaching the north side Oh
the river, Diller anchored the boat
near the mouth of a creek and ne ana
his wife went to some ponds about half
a mile farther north.
Wife Leaves For Homo Alone.
Diller said two other home employees
were catching bait at these ponds
when he got there. He helped them
When it threatened to rain Mrs. Diller
became rather nervous and wanted 10

the storm.
She started back alone, Diller SAID.
One Of OILERS companions gave MIS-

Il thought at first that the boat had
got away from her when she got out,
or had got loose after she had left 1t,
said Diller. When he got to the OLD
peoples building and did not find his
wife and after inquiry could find no
one who had seen her. Diller became
alarmed.
Then he FASTENED back to the river.
got boat and started after the boat
he had seen drifting with the current.
Half a mile below the home he found
it. right side up but lodged against the
shore. The oars were gone, but IN II
were the % caliber rifle Mrs. Diller
had carried and the gunny sack
Diller said then that he was fearful
that his wife had been drowned. Inc
only explanation he could give why she
should push off alone in the boat was
that she was afraid of being caught IN
the storm.
Diller said his wife was strong. was
unafraid of most things, and could
swim some, but she could not row.
Diller said he had been teaching his
wife to row and that she had the habit
of fouling her oars in the water so that
she would pull them out of the oar
locks when taking a stroke.
Thinks She Soon Upset.
The current IN the river was running
swiftly. and Diller thinks his wife could
not have gone far in the boat before
she fell out. He thought it proba bic
that she lost an oar or perhaps both.
and tried to reach them, lost her bal
ance and tumbled into the water.
1t is the opinion of those who know
the current well at the scene of the
accident that Mrs Diller was probably
well toward the north shore when she
fell into the water. judging by where
her body was found by a graphing
hook At that place the current sets
strongly toward the south shore.
Search Is Made.
The alarm was soon given about the
home grounds and employees and others
started to search with such tools as
were at hand The police were tele-
phoned and Chief of Police Breckel and
Fire Chief Kirby and others from the
city responded and brought tools. Five
or six boats kept up the search until
the body was found, while the distract
ed husband stood upon the bank and
did what he could to aid the searchers
with directions.
No Inquest Held.
Coroner A. R. Lynn, who lnVestl-
gated the circumstances of the drown
ing Wednesday, decided that no in
quest was necessary.
Mrs. Diller was born Olga Hummer
in Nicola. in June 1898 She became the
wife of William s. Diller, of this city,
Dec 1s. 1918. at Kansas City The
couple had been living here since last
April Mr.. Diller is we'll known mere,
