COMPANION GETS BODY
Raymond Kirchner Locates 1t
in Deep Water and Brings
It to Shore Where Lung
Motor is Applied

Elmer Jingst, seventeen
year old son of MIR. and Mrs. Fl.
81. Jingst of 1704 Des Moines
street, was drowned yesterday
morning in Prices creek. The
body was recovered after it had
been in the water about eight
minutes, and rescuers worked
over the boy with a lung motor
for tfree-quarters of an hour
when it was found that life
was extinct. The drowning is
the first of the season in Keo-
kuk. The victim of Sunday 5
tragedy was unable to swim
and stepped off over his depth
in the deep part OF Prices
creek, just below the wagon
bridge on the middle road.
Raymond Kirchner rescued the
body. locating it al point about the !
middle Of the bridge, out where there /

feet or more deep. Edward Hoffman, /
James Galloway and Henry Leu saw /
JEngst step into the water, and they /
saw him start out from shore and !,
then 90 down. He did not come up i
and the boys Immediately gave the 4
alarm The boys swimming further
down the creek swan with all speed

water to rescue his companion. I,
Not knowing how deep the water 1,
was or where the body might be, |;
except for a few bubbles on the sur 4

touched the body with his toes, and ID

May Have Been Struck.

f. In working over the body it was
found that the right eye was swollen
and looked bruised and there was a
bruise on the body. This might indi-
cate that the reason there was no out
cry from the drowning lad was that
he had struck a stone or q log and
might have been knocked uncon-
scious.
a party of young men, members of
"a Bible class at St Pauls German
Evangelical church, went 10 Prices
creek yesterday for their services.
and were planning TO spend the day
there at one of the cottages. Mr..
Jingst was in the party and the boys
had had their breakfasts and had fin
ished their class meeting and sery-
ices. Some of the men donned bath
ing suits and were swimming in the
creek, while others OF the party were
busy getting dinner.
The unfortunate lad had been
warned not TO go into the water at
this point by his companions. one OF
them said yesterday. He could not
swim, and they realized that the
water was deep at certain points
along the creek. and this was one Of
these. The wafer is from ten to if !
teen feet deep at points all along the
creek, it was said

Did Not Call Out.


The point where the young man
was drowned slopes gradually and
then gives way to deep water. Young
Jingst was seen TO walk down the
shore and into the water. He was
seen TO wave his hands around, but
did not call out al all and it is be-
lieved that he simply foundered over
his depth and may have hurt his
head in such way that he was
knocked IN conscious and fell into the
deep water without struggle
There was a bruise over the right
eye of some sort and bruise on the
shoulder. The discoloration over the
eye might have been caused by the
action of the water, or may have come
from bruise of some sort
Word was conveyed to the lads
and his mother and brother
came out to the scene of the tragedy.
When she learned that her son was
drowned Mrs. Jingst almost col
apsed Grief stricken she was al
lowed to see the body, and then
kindly hands led her to waiting
and she was taken home
again, with friends doing all they
Gould to quiet and comfort her. The
BODY was removed few minutes

Bessemer, January 7--(SpeciaL )-The purchase of the waterworks by the city of Bessemer received a decided i'm petus Tuesday evening when an ap- propriation was made at the meeting of the city council to meet the ex- penses connected with the arbitration, and H. C. Mead of Birmingham was retained as engineer to assist the city 5 arbitrator. J. F. Cannon, in making an inventory of the plant and equip ment and fixing valuation of same.
 MT. Meade was selected by Mir Gam mon, and has already been at work on the appraisal of the property. It is estimated by MT Cannon that a re- port on their valuation of the property will be ready about March l. $. R. Batson, consulting engineer for the city, was instructed to survey the lands that will be drained by the installation of storm sewers on Exeter avenue from Sixteenth street to Nineteenth street, and on Twenty street from Exeter avenue to Carolina avenue, so that an estimate may be made of the lots that will be drained and assess ments made against the property.
 resolution to require the chief of the fire department to act IS build ing electrical and plumbing inspector was introduced by Alderman W A. Sim mons, and was adopted after consider able argument. Several aldermen ex- pressed themselves as being of the opinion that the duties would be too exacting for the fire chief, and would require the entire services of one man, but the resolution was finally adopted with an amendment stipulating that the chief would receive $500 year for the additional work
 Mayor B. Clones stated that an offer had been made for three small houses located on the lot purchased for school purposes on Second avenue and Fifteenth street, the consideration be- ing s1000, and this was referred to the finance committee.
 The finance committee reported un- fayorabfy on the resolution introduced at the last meeting by Alderman Till man calling for an appropriation for supplying free text books for the first three grades of the grammar school. The committee stated that the board Of education and superintendent of schools advised against the appropriation at this time. The text books were esti- mated to cost about $2000.
 President George Ross suggested that citizens be requested to report street lights that were out of commission to the mayor, so that they may be put in order
