The river is known for its cold water and strong undertow. “He came up more than three times,” said witness William Gifford, who was waiting for his turn to jump. Rescue crews searched the rest of the day for Gates’ body; he is presumed drowned. The contest’s top prize: $300. A friend said he didn’t know why Gates decided to enter, considering “he doesn’t know how to swim.” (Beloit Daily News) Available in This is True: Book Collection Vol. 10 \n")
