Daily Sentinel (Pg. 3) - Monday, July 26, 1915

Gust Popovitch, aged 23 years, was the name of the unfortunate who lost his 
life in the river Saturday afternoon while swimming. He is a native of Russia 
where his parents and two brothers live. He has been in this country since 
January 1914 and had no relatives here. Popovitch attempted to swim across the 
river from the sand bar and went down in the current at that place not being 
able to make the distance. Roy Bouch, a companion, dived and managed to get 
hold of Popovitch but lost him again before he could bring him up. It was 
fifty-five minutes later before the body was brought to the surface by 
grappling hooks. The burial will take place here. A coroner's jury has been 
impaneled consisting of Sam Bosch, Dr. Wm. H. Ferguson, John Wieczorek, Elmer 
Anslow, Dan Wittish, O. E. Newton.  If Sheriff Lowrey wants an inquest it will 
be held Thursday, July 29, at the city hall.
