SWALLOWED BY QUICKSANDS.
Harry Touroff of Independence Loses
Life in Missouri River.
Harry Touroff was drowned in the Missouri river yesterday at noon while duck hunting. Touroff was about 18 years of age and a son of Samuel Touroff of Independence. His father allowed him to go hunting yesterday and he and his conpanion got onto a sandbar. Touroff stepped out of the boat into what he considered shallow water, but disappeared immediately. It is supposed he went down in the quicksands. The body has not been recovered. Samuel Touroff is a dry goods merchant in Independence. His store is at the southeast corner of the square.
