Lake CLAIMS TOLL;
YOUTH LOST HIS LIFE
Raymond SeyboIt Was Drowned
While Swimming at Emily
Yesterday
From Mondays Daily.

Raymond Siebolt a young man
from st. Peter who had gone to Lake
Emily yesterday with his father and
party of boys to swim in the lake,
was drowned near the point opposite
the Johnson hotel about $3.50 p. m.
yesterday, few feet from shore.
Young Siebolt, who was about
twenty years of age, was swimming
and diving in rather deep water.
when he was suddenly overcome and
sank. His struggles were not noticed
at first but when the father saw the
danger he attempted to reach his
son with fishing pole, but the
young man could not grasp it, and
sank for the last time 1t is thought
that he was suddenly attacked by
heart failure, as he was a good
swimmer.
Little Wayne Johnson, son of the
hotel keeper, ran to the hotel and
told his parents that boy had
drowned over the point, and Mr.. c. P.
Johnson, proprietor of the hotel, and
Mr.. Burmeister of this city, rowed
over to the point and recovered the
body from the bottom of the lake.
A doctor was with them, but the
boy had already been dead for some
time. The remains were taken to st.
Peter in an ambulance.
The drowned boys mother was not
at home, but was visiting in Iowa,
and Mr.. Siebolt and his son had
come out from st. Peter for days
outing.
Herman Knopf of the Knopf Man
ufacturing company of this city, and
son, c. M. Knopf of Minneapolis, who
were spending the day at Lake Emily
with their families, were among
those who took part in the search
for the body.
ut was a very sad accident" said
Mr.. KnOpf today, especially for the
poor old father. He was just about
dazed. The son and father had driven
over in their roadster from st. Peter,
and had hired a boat and gone across
to the Point. The father stayed on the
bank and the boy, who appeared to
be about twenty-five years of age,
rOwed the boat out from shore, and
would dive from the side and swim.
The boat foated away from him, and
he seemed to lose his head and went
down. There were a number OF bath
ers nearby who might have saved
him, but they did not know he was
drowning until it was all over. The
father on the bank could not swim
but tried to reach his boy with
pole. The water there was about
twenty feet deep 1 was told. We
heard about the accident and my son
and l got a boat and rowed over to
help try and find the body. There
were a number of boats out looking
for the body, but l think it was Elroy
Burmeister who was out in a boat
with another man, who caught the
body on graphing hook, and it
was brought to the surface. l was
told the young man was university
student, who was spending his vaca-
ton with his relatives at st. Peter"

dive the car, was on the left side
of the road. He was going very fast
He made a sudden shift to turn the
auto over to the right side of the
road, and then made another sud-
den shift towards the center. We
had requested him not to drive SO
fast. This sudden swinging from side
to side was what caused the car to
turn over, not the blowing out of a
tire
I'VE had some beer in the crowd,
perhaps two bottles apiece, but Lar
son l believe, had not had any. If
he had any, it was very little. None
of us had any too much.
Eddie Mott, a painter of Lake
Crystal, was with us. l am not sure
that he had any of the beer.
We three, Smith, Lyle and And
erson, have been working on the
Lake Crystal sewer. We hired Lar
son to take us on that outing"

H. G.. Cummins, the Eagle Lake
miller, eventy-two years old, was
somewhat bruised in an accident
with his Saxon car on South Broad
street late Saturday afternoon. Mr..
Cummins was coming along the
street where it is roped off for the
repaving that is being done after
the damage done to the block pave
ment by the recent flood. He did not
observe the rope until he had run
right into it. His windshield and
the auto top were broken, the auto
was brought to halt, and he HIM
self was dragged from his seat. He
was going about the same evening,
however, and did not seem to have
been hurt much, though he said he
felt a little sore.
