Excerpts From A Later Edition Body is Recovered Railroad Men Find Body of Harvey Lenoard Floating Near Cascade Dam The body of Harvey Leonard, 17 year old son of Mr & Mrs George Leonard, who was drowned while in bathing near near the 2nd Island last Sunday, was recovered this morning near the 6th Street bridge. It was about 5:30 when men in the employ of the Illinois Central Railroad saw something pass over the Cascade dam. They at first thought it was a log or part of a tree. However their curiosity was aroused and they watched the object until they were satisfied that it was a human body. The Eastside policeman was notified and he sent in a call to the fire department and a number of the firemen responded. By this time the body had drived near the 6th Street bridge where it was finally secured & taken from the water. The body of young Leonard was taken to the Miller undertaking rooms.
