Unidentified Rochester people saw him walk into the water, go down, come to the surface, and then disappear. THE STRANGERS called the Fillmore County sheriff's office from Tew's service station just west of Peterson. The sheriff's office summoned help from the Rushford fire department. Six firemen went to the scene with a flat bottom boat with oars, plus boots and pling hooks. Harry Arnold, first assistant chief, was in charge in the absence of Chief Alfred Cordes.

Firemen Harlan Johnson and Jack Rislove found the body about one-fourth mile downstream from the point Odneson had gone in about 6:30 p.m. It was on a sandbar -in one foot of water- at the side of the stream opposite from Highway 16. One was missing and the one left on his foot was untied. He was wearing overalls and shirt but no jacket. FIREMEN assumed he had been carrying another pair of shoes SO he'd have dry ones to change to when he got across, but then found no trace of them.

The firemen placed the body in the boat and took him some 60 rods across the river and to Highway 16. Dr. J. P. Nehring, Fillmore County coroner, attributed death to accidental drowning.

He was found about 6:30 p.m. Johnson Funeral Service, Lanesboro, was called to get the body. Odneson, a carpenter and painter himself, had built cabin in which he lived on the north side of Highway 16 across from the spot where he entered the river. Offiers said the stream is swift with rapids, at the point where he entered. Other Rushford firemen at the scene were Harold Jacobson, Amos Bakken and Keith McCallum, plus Sheriff Neil Haugerud.

ODNESON was born June 27, 1906, in the Highland Prairie area to Andrew and Isabelle Odneson. Survivors are: His mother, Whalan, and three sisters, Mrs. Adolph (Ida) Lee, Lanesboro; Mrs. Leo (Lillie Sharp, Whalan, and Mrs. Henry (Clara) Helland, Austin.

Only minor tempera- Wilson Believes Rhodesian Crisis Can Be Settled LONDON (AP) British Prime Minister Harold Wilson says he believes a Rhodesian settlement is possible. But the colony's two leading Africans have rejected plans for a royal commission to work out a settlement. Wilson, returned Rhodesia Sunday to report night to Parliament on the agreement he reached with Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith to set up a three-man royal commission that will seek a formula for conditions under which the central African colony could be granted independence.

The British leader said the agreement has provided time for careful thought. "We can, given the time, get a settlement," he added. British newspaper commentators agreed that Wilson's mission had bought time for more negotiations. But they generally did not consider as bright the prospects for an acceptable tlement. Wilson went to Rhodesia after the colony's ruling white minority threatened to declare independence without yielding to British demands for guarantees promising eventual rule to the colony's 4 million Africans.

The white population numbers about 255,000. The leader of one of Rhodesia's two African nationalist parties, Joshua Nkomo, said in a statement that Britain was evading its responsibilities in proposing the royal commission. He termed it "a time wasting device." The leader of the other nationalist party, the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole, issued a statement "unreservedly rejecting the idea of a commission. Both the rival nationalist leaders agreed to Wilson's proposal that the Rhodesian people as a whole be asked if they want independence based on the existing 1961 constitution.

In separate statements they insisted this be done by a one one-vote referendum. Wilson and Smith have not yet agreed on the ground rules for the commission nor on ways to change the 1961 constitution to make it acceptable to both sides.

The Rollingstone, Minnesota City and Goodview fire departments provided men to help man hose lines, but did not send any of their own rigs to the fire scene.

AT CHIEF Steadman's repuest, Goodview Fire Chief Joseph Trochta, 850 41st ordered his department's rig to man the West End fire station in Winona. He and eight men also assisted at the fire scene, Trochta said today. They arrived about 3:30 p.m., and left about 8 p.m., he added. Laufenburger noted that he had one 750-gallon pumper, a ladder truck and a tank truck in reserve at the Central Fire Station. He had two pumpers and the aerial ladder truck at the fire scene.

The pumpers were servicing four hose lines apiece, their maximum capacity, at the height of the fire fight. Laufenburger estimated that 6,000 to 8,000 feet of hose was laid Sunday. All off-duty firemen and officers were called on to help in the fight, and there was 100 percent response, Lelwica noted. A BUTCHER at the store, Larry D. Hart, W.

Broadway, said today that he was just driving into the store parking lot Sunday when he saw a puff of smoke from the rear of the building and heard a sort of whooshing noise. Running to the rear of the store, he saw that the back door at the northwest corner was open. Flames blocked his entrance. Hart said that he ran around to the front of the building and found that Hogue had already been alerted to the blaze by a woman employe. The fire was spreading fast, and Hogue's efforts to combat it were no good, Hart said.

The fire department had al- Precipitation Degree Inches Days Total Normal 437 1.01 2.49 270 10.13 3.76 4.42 3.62 5.82 3.70 2.05 4.70 124 3.07 4.06 678 3.79 2.31 1,322 2.74 1.62 1,455 1.45 .97 1,585 .71 1.17 5,897 35.19 28.40 1,462 .85 1.11 793 1.54 1.61 672 .35 2.49 6,877 21.20 31.07 ready been called, so they began clearing the building of all customers and employes, dc- cording to Hart. The fast spread of the fire Is partly attributed by Fire Marshal Keiper to the fact that a sprinkler system due to be operational inside of week was not able to contain the original blaze. Keiper noted that 97 percent of fires in buildings with sprinkler systems are controlled before firemen arrive. It is a sort of first-aid for fires, Keiper said. The sprinkler system was one of the last things to be installed as part of Randall's $140,000 expansion and remodelling program.

Store manager Hogue said that $50,000 had been spent for a expansion and $90,000 for remodeling. Keiper would not make a damage estimate but agreed that it would be no lower than $650,000. Water Commissioner G. 0. Harvey said this morning that he could not estimate how much water was pumped in combatting the fire.

However, he said it was "not too much. We did have an adequate supply," he added. The Westgate area is served by an 8-inch water line, he noted. The fire department was using all the water that was available, too, he said. World Output Of Soybeans Up WASHINGTON (AP) World production of soybeans this year was placed at a record 1.2 billion bushels in a U.S.
