Gust Olsen was drowned in a deep hole in Dry Run, just west of Decorah, He had gone to the stream to swim and got into this deep hole and could not get out. He was subject to epileptic fits and it is supposed that he was taken with one of these fits when he went into the water and could not help himself.
