mew. Dr. G. H. Stoner, Dr. E. H. rowell and Dr. Blount hurried to the lake but their attempts to restore life were fruitless. Pridgeon's lifeless" form was brought to the Bartholomew undertaking parlors where the inquest was held and the body prepared for burial. In an interview with a Vldette representative Harry Schmidt of 153 Indiana avenue, this city, claims to have taken an active part in discovering the body of Pridgeon. Schmidt was near when the unfortunate man disappeared from view in the water of the lake and rushing to the scene was of much aid of JBererovic in locating and recovering the body. He was much exhausted and retiring from the scene for a rest was not a witness at the inquest. The dead man was but 22 years old. He was the only son of his parents who live well toward the northern part of

Michigan. In Gary he had an uncle, J

M. McAllister, with whom he associated much of the time. McAllister came here at once. He returned to Gary last night and came back to this city and gave the order for the shipment of the body home. Mr. and Mrs. Pridgeon were reached over the long distant telephone and received the heartbreaking news of the tragedy. , The body will be shipped over the
