Leonard Smith Narrowly Escapes Drowning After Ice Break
Leonard Smith and Will Ross skated up the Big Sioux River when Smith broke through thin ice near the Chandler place. He stayed afloat by edge gripping and swimming, then was hauled to safety by Ross. The current ran swift and water depth neared ten to twelve feet. Smith wore heavy mining boots that worsened his predicament but he escaped unharmed. The incident prompts caution for cold weather skating in the area.
