Oregon manag States to Den He did The Willamette river near Salem is otted today with dozens of boats whose occupants are dragging the river for the ody of Leland A. Hendricks,, ’15. Mr. Hendricks was editor of the Emerald in his senior year and g editor of the Oregon Daily man at the time of his death. Yesterday afternoon he went llson’s boat house*for a swim. >t return to his home or business in ceiling. His friends, searching, found his clothes in a locker. An indifferent swimmer, with a weak mart, Mr. Hendricks is believed to have drowned without attracting the at ntion of any by-standers while prob ibly attempting a swim in the open ■iver, a thing he seldom tried, generally confining his efforts to the tank. No nit-cry, no struggle was heard by any me of the frequenters of the boathouse waterfront. Karl Becke, a cousin of the man he wed to be drowned, telephoned to his ome in Salem this morning seeking any alditional news. “Lee is undoubtedly owned. We are looking only for his idy,” came the answer. “Nearly all stores in town are closed. Their wnyrs are dragging the river. Hundreds persons line the banks.” Hugh Brady, Portland's municipal appler and expert in the finding of odies, has gone to Salem to superin end the operations of finding Mr. Hend ;ks. Leland A. Hendricks came to the Uni rsity in the fall of 1911 from Salem, e became a mentbef of Kappa Sigma and was identified with the Emerald during his underclass years. As a junior he was editor of the Ore na, publishing the largest and finest ok ever put out by the University, tom this he stepped in his senior year, nto editorship of the Emerald. He was aduated, leaving behind him perhaps e most evialile record as a newspaper in ever made by a student at Ore F n. He was a brilliant man always.
