It was identified a short time later by Ristenpadt's father and ordered removed to the Vogelsang undertaking rooms where it is being prepared for burial.
Ristenpadt's disappearance was reported to the police Saturday morning but it was thought that he might be visiting a brother at Sheboygan or relatives at some other city. He had visited at his home, 365 Chicago street, early Tuesday morning and left to return to his boat but never reported for duty as first porter, a position which he had held for some time. Where or how the drowning took place remains a mystery. The body this morning was being carried by the current and, but for the discovery by Henry Beers would probably have been carried to the lake.
Story Of Threats
According to reports in circulation here this morning Ristenpadt had spoken of being threatened on two separate occasions as result of his refusal to give food to a couple of men by whom he had been approached for a hand out. The men had said that “they would get him and throw him into the river.” His associates on the boat say that Ristenpadt was unable to swim. The story was given to the father of the unfortunate man by one of the members of the crew and there may be an investigation.
Born At Sheboygan
Harry Ristenpadt was 24 having been born at Sheboygan in March 1900 and came to this city with his parents about eight years ago. He was employed in various capacities about the city and for a time was a member of the Herzog transfer force. Later he followed the lakes and for a number of years has held positions on the boats.
