Student Drowned While Canoeing

Shortly after noon Saturday, a student was drowned in the Huron rivet near the Whitmore Lake road bridge. It was the first drowning accident in the Huron this year. The drowned student was Ernst Zinmmerschied, a freshman literary student, 20 years of age, who roomed with his brother, Cari, a senior lit, at 402 S. Observatory street. The two brothers were from Kansas City, Mo., where their mother, Mrs. J. F. Zinmmershied, lives at 530 Howard street. The mother has been sent for.

The two brothers took a canoe at the boat house and went up the river. At the Whitmore Lake road bridge they took the outside right hand side, close to the shore. The pier of the railroad bridge was in the way and as they turned in to go around it the swift current struck the front end of the canoe and upset it. Carl clung to the canoe and drifted down stream till his feet struck bottom and T. P. Albro and others who saw the accident got him out. Ernst let go the boat. as it went over. The rapid current caught him. The last time he went down was a rod or two above the Whitmore Lake road bridge. Search for the body was begun immediately, but it was not until 4 o'clock that it was recovered, about 80 yards below the bridge.
