C. Adams Assists in Saving Life;
Others Spread Lake Dragnet
CLEAR LAKE, IOWA — That Charles Adams was prominently connected with saving the life of Dr. E.K. Allen, St. Ansgar dentist, when the latter was thrown into the lake Wednesday was learned following abatement of the excitement incident to the tragedy which took the life of Hugo Bublitz, also of St. Ansgar.
Mr. Adams used first aid treatment in resuscitating Dr. Allen after he had been pulled from the water by Burdette Amundson and Tom Hanna who used a boat from the Frank Young dock close by. Strenuous work on the part of Mr. Adams and others who assisted brought results within a short time.
Mrs. Young telephoned to Percy Fitler, Clear Lake telephone man always foremost in rescue work. Verne Peterson, state boat inspector, and Don Huey, in the new boat recently launched by the state conservation commission, were active in organizing the work for recovery of the body of Mr. Bublitz.
In another boat were Roy Huey, Charter Huey and Milton Toinby. A dragnet was stretched between the two boats and started some distance from the overturned boat in which the two men had been fishing.
The body had not floated far and was recovered in the first drag made over the spot. The boat used by Mr. Bublitz and Dr. Allen is now at Touristville boat livery.
