Raft Sinks Because Of Combined

Special to Times Republican.
, Grinnell April 25.-David Warren
was drowned in Sanders pond about
s o'clock last evening. He, with three
mates Of about his own age, had been
playing on couple Of RATS of their
own hasty construction when one raft
sank and all took refuge on the other.
This caused 1t to dip and all were
thrown into the water. All were good
swimmers and struck out for the
shore. Three of the lads made for the
nearest shore and got out Of the water
with no further damage than a wet
ting. But David, the best swimmer Of
them all, the boys say, for some I'M
accountable reason struck out for the
farther shore and sank Sanders pond
is just north Of the golf grounds Of
the Country Club and DR.. P. E. Somers
was there at play. He ran to the pond
and dived in and rescued the body but
it was too late to bring back respira-
ton by any means at hand. DR.. Somers
thinks that if the pulmotor had been
available the life might have been re-
stored.
David Warren was a bright active,
lovable dad, about 10 years old. He
was the only son Of a widow. He was
noted by those who knew his home life
best for his devotion to his mother.
Mrs. Warren has been clerking in the
J.. H. McMurray store but for some
time past has been seriously i'll at her
home and this blow comes doubly hard
to her on this account. The little lad
had many friends in the city who are
saddened by his tragic and untimely
loss from their circle. He was much
about the Central meat market in his
spare time and Mr.. n. w. Cessna has
taken an almost fatherly interest in
him and feels this blow almost as
tho it were one of his own family.
David was in the eighth grade at
school, ready for the high school next
fall. Owing to the condition of the
mother no arrangements have been
made for the funeral
