    DROWNINGS AT DES MOINES.
    Des Moines, July 5. — This city furnished her quota of victims to the Des Moines river yesterday, a man and a boy. Late in the afternoon a gentleman by the name of H. E. Kupfer, living at 112 Chestnut street, wend down to the river just below the old mill, accompanied by his two boys. The latter went out wading in the edge of the water. One of them went beyond his depth and the father seeing his danger plunged in to save him. Someone on the bank gave the alarm and Elmer Wickham ran around to the other side of the mill while Col. Olmstead jumped into a boat and rowed up to the dam and pushed over. No one was able to reach the man, and Mr. Wickham having his clothes on was compelled to head for the shore in order to save himself. Mr. Fitzgerald who had followed Olmstead to the bank jumped off to save the boy but was taken with a cramp and his daring effort to save the boy’s life nearly cost him his own. Col. Olmstead and Mr. Griffiths got the boy out before he went down for the last time and the colonel returned with Messrs. Hartley and Wickham and picked up Mr. Kupfer. They took him ashore and done all they could but life was extinct. Mr. Kupfer was about 30 years of age and leaves a wife and three children. (Source: Atlantic Daily Telegraph, July 6, 1888.)
