      Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating a drowning at West Boggs Lake.  The call about the man in the lake came in at 1:30-pm.  The deceased man, 79 years old had already been pulled from the water.  Local law enforcement reported the man was from Ramsey, Indiana and may have fallen out of a boat because of a medical issue. A name was not released. Again, the DNR Law Enforcement Division is handling the investigation.

       In a separate incident…

      A medical helicopter transported an injured logger from northern Daviess County on Tuesday.  57-year-old Jerry Adkins of Custer, Kentucky was working east of US 231 with a logging crew when a limb from a felled tree hit him in the head.  He was wearing a hard hat.  Adkins was transported to Odon Park where a helicopter landed and took him to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville.
