(Webster)—Day County authorities have released the names of three men involved in a boating accident on Lynn Lake. Sheriff Barry Hillestad says 71 year-old Dennis Gross of Aberdeen drowned, while 69 year-old Edwin Miller of Ipswich and 70 year-old Jerry Stahl of Redfield were rescued. The trio was fishing on Lynn Lake when the boat they were in hit a submerged log. That punched a hole in the 18-foot boat, and it tipped over, sending the men into the water. Gross was unable to stay afloat, but Miller and Stahl were able to drift o an island, where they caught the attention of other anglers and were rescued. The accident was reported Wednesday afternoon. Lynn Lake is located about eight miles north of Holmquist.
