Body Found In Maquoketa River Near Cascade
The dead man identified as Rastus Bottesen, a Dane aged about fifty, was found face down in one foot of water along the North Fork of the Maquoketa River south of Cascade by Mrs. John Printy while searching for a cow. Coroner Chamberlain held an inquest. the jury could not determine if death was accidental or suicidal, noting Bottesen had recently acted strangely and had been working nearby. He had been employed by Martinson in Washington township and planned to work as a stone mason in Cascade cemetery. The case leaves the cause of death uncertain and whether entanglement or a fall was involved. Weather notes and agricultural updates follow with farm for sale and local ads.
