Charles BOSS, a son-in-law, who lives on the Kinkaid farm, started for town and found Kinkaid's hat & a bundle of sacks on the ice where he went down. Kinkaid started for his farm at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. It is supposed that he thought the ice was strong enough to bear his weight all the way across the lake. On the opposite side from where he started the ice had been taken out and only recently frozen over again. Boss immediately communicated with the police dept. After a consultation with relatives it was decided that no attempt would be made to recover the body until this morning. Deputy Sheriff James Halliday, with several assistants will go to the lake early this morning and attempt to recover the body. Mr. Kinkaid was born in Londonderry county, Cork, Ireland in March 1838. He was 75 years old last Sunday. He came to Sioux City direct from Ireland in 1873. For some years, he was a resident of McCook, Neb. (believe should be SD), but always called Sioux City his home.
