WILLIAM B. JACKSON and ROBERT F. HURLBURT, of Minneapolis, Minn., forme
rly of Utica, New York, and CHARLES JOHNSON, Jackson's coachman, were dro
wned while crossing Lake Minnetonka, near Minneapolis, last Saturday (Aug
ust 21, 1886). Another member of the party was rescued in time to save h
is life, though he was unconscious. The gentlemen were going to spend Su
nday at Jackson's cottage on the lake, and were crossing in a boat whe
n a squall came up and swamped the boat. All day Sunday a number of gent
lemen living in the vicinity searched for the bodies under the directio
n of one who had witnessed the accident. They used rowboats and grapplin
g hooks, and passed repeatedly over the fatal spot dragging their hooks.
The body of Johnson, the coachman, was found first, in 40 feet of wate
r and about 100 yards from shore, quite a distance from the spot where th
e boat went down. The body of Mr. Hurlburt was found about three hours l
ater, but they dragged till dark without finding the body of Mr. Jackson
. A diver from Minneapolis went down two or three times, but the seagras
s was so thick in the bottom of the lake that he could see nothing any di
stance away, and gave up the search. The seaweed also obstructed the us
e of the hooks, preventing them from sinking to the bottom.
We do not learn that Jackson's body has yet been found, though there wa
s talk of exploding dynamite over the lake to see if it would not rise t
o the surface. Both Jackson and Hurlburt were men in good circumstances
, and have families in Minneapolis. Hurlburt's life was insured for $50,
000. Jackson has parents and other relatives living in Utica. (RCAug27/
