Joseph Tessar (sic), the watchman on the government dredge, was drowned
in the river here on Monday night. The dredge comes in every evening
from the shore line where it is at work and, lies up below 8th street
bridge. The crew went to bed at 11 o'clock and in the morning Tessar was
missing. It was at first thought he had abandoned his watch as he was a
little under the influence of liquor on Monday evening. The river was
dragged but without avail for some time. Just when the search was about
to be discontinued, the grapnel brought up the body.
An inquest was held before Justice Falge and a verdict of accidental
drowning returned. Tessar had an open face watch in his pocket which
stopped at 12:10, showing that the accident occurred about that time. He
had on his person, beside, $1 dollar and a check for an over coat left
at a dyer's.
He was about 35 years of age and unmarried. His mother lives in Two
Rivers. About three years ago he worked on the scow of Pankratz & Co.
