, For Cooking Will Be
Installed.
Tourists coming: into Omaha (or a
few days' stop are to have a new
camp site, according to W. B.

mittee of other members of the club

east corner of Elmwood park. It
will be ISO feet by 300, divided into

ing about oOO persons.
Shower aBthi Promised. .
Commissioner Humell has prom
ised to build a house on the
site which will contain water and
stoves for cooking. Al Scott of
the Scott 'Auto Tourists' store has
. promised to install shower baths.

provement over the old which was
located in a hollow at Elmwood and
was without water, cooking or
unitary facilities. In fact the old
site was so bad that many tourists
refuser to stop there.

did not deter several families living
in the city from going there and
camping indefinitely, according to

penses. To prevent anything like
this in the future" all visitors tothe
tourists camp will be registered and
will have the previlige of remaining

Youth on Outing
Drowned in Lake
West of Tekamah
Reuben Anderson, 17, Loses
Life on Way to Camp With
Companions for Week's
Vacation.
A week's vacation trip of fishing
and boating, the obiect of carefully
laid plans of five Omaha boys, came
to a sad ending on its first day, Sun
day, when one of their number lost
his life when the bort in which he
and the other members of the expe
dition were rowing, turned turtle.
The fatal ending to the outing
came late Sunday afternoon, ac
cording to word received by the par
ents of the youth, Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

with a younger brother, Carl, and
three other boys, Reginald Steel,

1 he car was well stocked with
provisions, fishing tackle and camp
ing appurtenances, necessary to the
proper spending of a week's vacation
trip. A large lake 15 miles north
west of Tekamah, was the objective
of the boys.
According to the meager informa
tion received in Omaha by the
parents of the drowned youth, the
party was crossing the lake prepara
tory to setting up tent and arrang
ing their camp. It was while they
were crossing the lake that their boat
overturned, throwing all of the boys
and their camping paraphernalia into
the water.
All of the boys were expert swim
mers and all managed to escape but
Reuben, and his companions and his
parents are unable to explain his
drowning.
The boys summoned help in an ef
fort to rescue their chum, but this
was unavailing. The lake was
dragged all night for the body, but
it was not recovered until early yes
terday morning. The boy's mother
is prostrated.
The boy's father left for Tekamah
Sunday night as soon as he was in
formed of his son's death and
brought back the body late yester
day. Reuben had been employed as de
livery boy for the Pantorium.
