The child had been playing outdoors for some time and about half an hour elapsed before her absence was discovered. It was at once suspected that the child had wandered toward the river and it was dragged with the result of bringing the little ones' body to the surface. Her parents are almost distracted. The coroner will hold an inquest. ********************************************************************* The funeral of Ida, the little daughter of Mr. John Holsten, who was drowned at Money Point, was held from her parents' home Sunday afternoon.
