Drowning Victim
Great Falls--The body of Benjamin Bolen, 44, who drowned in the Missouri river June 7, was found Wednesday on the upstream side of Paradise Dam north of Great Falls. The body had traveled six miles downstream and apparently over the Black Eagle Dam to where it was found by Montana Power Company employees.
Bolen died when he lost his grip on the side of the family boat and slipped into the river before the horrified eyes of his son, David, 12. The two were attempting to get the boat to shore to drain it when the accident occurred.
