Launch Tragedy Drowns Six in Saskatchewan River Near Edmonton
A launch foundered after striking a hidden boom in the Saskatchewan river. Six people drowned including Raden C. Hooper and Mrs. Raden C. Hooper, with Everett Case rescued. Witnesses say the party of Marshall Wells Hardware firm employees and spouses were enjoying an evening ride when the boat halted and capsized. River swift currents hindered rescue attempts as drag lines searched the water for bodies. Hooper, born Alma, Alberta, was Edmonton branch manager of Marshall Wells Hardware and a nephew of Ammi W. Wright. He leaves a family including three sisters and a brother. The river was swollen due to recent storms.
