MILWAUKEE MAN FALLS OFF SOO BRIDGE AND LOSES LIFE IN RIVER
Arthur Preuss(sic), aged 50, a sailor whose home is at Milwaukee was drowned in the river Sunday when he fell from the Soo line bridge near the yards of the Wisconsin Clay Products while crossing the structure. The body was recovered two hours later by Officers Carle and Christiansen of the police department. The accident was witnessed by two women residing in the vicinity, who summoned Rich Lade who was on the river. Lade, after an effort to locate the drowning man, notified the police and Officers Carle and Christiansen dragged the river and recovered the body.
Preuss is said to have been about town for some time and had been in company with several hoboes. It is said that Preuss had removed his coat and placed it on the bridge and that in reaching for the garment he lost his balance and fell into the river. Police officials communicated with Milwaukee authorities and located a sister of Preuss in that city, Mrs. W.J. Savage, Jefferson Street, who will probably take charge of the body which is held here.

Relatives failed to claim the body of Arthur Price(sic), the man who was drowned off the Soo line bridge Sunday and the body was buried in the Potter's field yesterday at county expense, Coroner Falge giving orders for the burial of the body. The Milwaukee police from which city Price came, located a sister in that city and she said that she would claim the body but she made no move to do so and after waiting all week the body was ordered buried. The body was at the Vogelsang and Murphy morgue.
