LaCamas Post Janaury 2,1909
Otto Link, a German rancher living a short distance from the town of Washougal 
was drowned in the Washougal river last Monday afternoon and so far the body 
has not been recovered.
Mr.Link was at work on the river and it is not known how the accident occured. 
The first intimation of trouble was when parties working nearby heard a cry 
for help and ran toward the river. They saw Mr.Link struggling in the water 
but were unable to reach him before he disappeared.
Searching parties have been working the river thoroughly but on account of the 
treacherous nature of the river at this time of year, being full of under and 
cross currents the search is without avail.
A reward of $35 has been offered for the recovery of the body on or before the 
15th of this month.
Mr.Link was an Odd Fellow and has been a resident of this country for the past 
ten years. He was thirty two years old and had many friends here.
Later: The body of Otto Link was recovered yesterday. Albert Dunne, a young 
man about 19 years old discovered the remains in the Washougal river at the 
Aune place about 10 o'clock in the morning. The body was taken from the river 
and conveyed to Washougal where preparations for the funeral were made.
