SECOND DROWNING FATALITY.
Herbert Sjogren Meets Death While Bathing in Power-House Lake.
A third attack of cramps resulted in the drowning of Herbert Sjogren, aged twenty years, in a small pond known as Powder-house Lake, a few miles south of the city,
at about four o'clock last Friday afternoon. Sjogren, accompanied by two other
young men, had gone to the pond to go in swimming. The water in the pond is very cold even in midsummer. The day was very warm and it is probable that the young man became overheated by the walk to the lake. It is known that the first and second plunge into the chilly water brought on an attack of cramps. The young man refused
to be alarmed, however, and again entered the water. The third attack rendered him helpless and he sank to the bottom.
Charles Anderson and Edward Peterson, his companions, made an effort to save his life. Neither were expert swimmers and their efforts were futile. Assistance was summoned from town and the body was recovered about an hour later by Carl Israelson, who entered the water and fastened a grappling hook to the clothing. The young man was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Sjogren and resided with his parents on East A street.
The funeral was held on Tuesday from the Swedish Baptist church.
