Louis England, of Mason City, met instant death Friday evening when the rowboat in which he was riding with his wife and small son, was struck by a speed boat on Quiver lake, near Havana, driven by Jack Homan of St. Louis. Following the crash, Homan leaped from his boat and saved Mrs. England and her child by carrying them to shore some 150 feet away, but England apparently went down immediately after the crash. His body was not recovered until nearly midnight. The small rowboat was unlighted and Homan was unable to see the boat in the darkness.
