FRANK KOBZA DROWNED.
Fell Into Deep Hole In Mosquito Creek
and Could Not Swim.

The Anton Kobza family of Sigel
mourn the loss of their fourteen-year-old
son and brother, who was drowned in
Mosquito creek last Thursday while out
fishing....
Frank wasn't satisfied with the way the
fish were biting in the river and wandered
off by himself in search of a better
place. He was seen about 10 o'clock in
the morning by Paul Zimmerman fishing
from a log which had fallen across Mos-
quito creek. This was the last seen of
him alive, and when he was missed later
in the day and a search was made for
him, here in a pool in the creek about
8 feet deep his body was found....
