Boy Victim River Tragedy
FRED ALTHEN, JR., aged 13, lost his life in the Neshoto river Saturday afternoon when a skiff in which he with two companions was on the river, capsized. The companions of Althen clung to the piles in the water while Althen attempted to swim to shore for help. He was about half way when the icy water cramp took hold of him and with the aid of the undertow, dragged the unfortunate boy down. The body was recovered by the coast guard and every effort was made to revive the youth who was at first thought to be alive, but it was useless.
Young Althen is survived by his mother, one sister and three brothers, all residents here.
