Body Of BURNETT Not Yet Located
Searchers continue Day and Night Hunt, but Without Results - Hat and Gloves Found.
Baxter Springs, Kan. June 10 -
Searchers working all day failed to locate the body of Hubert E. BURNETT, an employe of the Empire District Electric Company, who drowned at the Riverton by-pass Saturday afternoon. Several humdred men took part in the search today.
The gates at the dam were closed about 9 o'clock this morning, lowering the water below the dam, which permitted the searchers to wade through water which could not be covered while the water was high, but no trace of the body ws found. Burnett's hat and gloves were found a short distance from where he fell into the river Saturday afternoon.
The river was going up tonight as the water began to flow over the dam.
During the day the search was made from the dam at Riverton to the East Tyelfth(sic) street bridge here. Spotlights have been erected at the East Twelfth street bridge here. The bridge of the Southwest Missouri Railroad Company here and others are being used at the mouth of Brush creek between Baxter Springs and Lowell. Men are kept on watch for the body day and night at those points.
