Three-Year-Old Boy Drowns.
Clifton Nelson, the three-year-old son of Peter Nelson, a shoe factory employe of Fort Dodge, lost his bal¬nce while standing on a rock throwing stones into the Des Moines river, and fell into the water. The current whirled him down stream. The corpse was recovered shortly afterward.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he is buried in Saint Olafs Cemetery in Fort Dodge and that he was born June 1, 1905 and died May 15, 1908.
