zURA DID NOT DROWN.
Boone Bible Student Suddenly Reap

Boone, Aug. John Zura won the
breathing contest!
Zura is resident of Kenosha, Wis,
but he attends the biblical college at
Boone. With three fellow students he
went swimming Tuesday in the Dies
Moines river.
One of the four suggested breath
ing contest to determine which could
remain under the surface of the water
the longest and it was accordingly
staged.
The other three bobbed their heads
above the surface at varying intervals,
but Zura did not reappear. His fright
ened companions dove repeatedly for
him and finally returned with the re+
port that he had drowned.
A search for his body was instituted
without success, continuing until late
hour last night. Yesterday Zura walked
into the college in perfectly live con-
6itlon and claimed the record. He had
not been under water since Tuesday
afternoon, however
He says he struck his chest on a
rock as he went down and was rem
dered unconscious. He floated down
stream for some distance before re-
gaining his senses, then caught on the
limb Of a tree, where he hung for more
than an hour.
Since his clothes were some distance
UP the river and he was in an exhaust
ed condition, he spent the night in a
nearby barn and returned this morn
