TRAGIC ACCIDENT' MOURNED
BY MANY. ;.
Expert Rider AttemptH to Save
Husband Is Drowned. .
Caught in the spring torrent in
Joseph creek, Mrs. Sylvia Tippect,
wife of J. H. (Jidge) Tippett, was
drowned Sunday afternoon while try
ing to save her husband from the
stream, remarks the Enterprise
Cheftian. Her body was recovered
yesterday and is now on the way :o
Enterprise, according to word . re
ceived this morning by Mrs. S. T.
.Tippett. She did not know where
the body was found.
Full details of the tragedy have
not come from the- canyons, as none
of the searchers have returned, and
there is no telephone , reaching to
lower Joseph creek. From the . re
ports sent out; it seems that Mr. and
Mrs. Tippett had been for several
days at G. W. Salladay's seven or
, eight miles from their home east of
Joseph creek and near the state line.
They had been fishing.
Sunday afternoon they started home
and came to the ford near Bob Hag
kin's place, a mile above where Jo
seph creek empties into the Grande
Ronde. The creek was still a torrent,
and Jidge concluded to ride in to see
if his horse could make it. The ani
mal was swept off its feet and ho
fell into the rapid stream. His wifn,
a splendid rider, rode into the creek
and tried to throw a rope to him. It
seems that was the last he ever saw
of her. .The current carried him
down stream and out of sight, and
some distance below he was washed
against the bank and crawled out.
He hurried back to the ford, but no
trace of his wife was to be found.
His search proving fruitless, Jidge
hurried up the creek to send word to
his relatives and to those of his wife.
A messenger was found who rode to
the home of J. T. Steen, Mrs. Tip
pett's father. But no one was there.
The family had cone to Enterprise,
their daughter Mrs. Goldie Tippett,
wife of Guy Tippett accompanying
them. Mr. Steen was going to Wal
lowa with horses for the sale, to re
turn to take in the circus with ' his
family in Enterorise yesterday.
The messenger rode on to the C.
L. Hartshorn . ranch, frcni where he
telephoned to.. J idge's parents. Mr.
and Mrs. S. T. Hytjjl.t in Enterprise.
They did not know Sunday evening
that Mr. and Mrs. Steen wero in
town, so the latter did not learn of
the drowning of their daughter until
Monday morning.' Then S. T. Tip
pett and Mr. Steen went in Henry
Bauer's automobile to Chico, where
they got horses and pushed on down
the Chesnimnus and Joseph creeks.
A telephone message from S. T.
Tippett reached Enterprise Tuesday
evening from Asotin. He said the
searchers had been along the creeks
and the rivers clear down to Asotin,
but had not found the victim's body.
As she was plunged into Joseph
creek only a mile above the Grande
Ronde, and as all streams there are
out of their banks, it was apparent
the searchers had a ., disheartening
task.
Jidge Tippett and Sylvia Steen
were married in Enterprise Saturday
January 23. A week before Guy Tip
pett and Goldie Steen were married
here. Jidge is one of the most cap
able and deserving young ranchers
of the county. . He has grown up in
the stock business .. and has a fine
start.' His wife also was familiar
with the business, as she had lived
vmost of her life in the range' country.
Here parents have suffered ono mis-
fortune after another during the last
two years, and this last loss is the
most severe blow of all. Expressions
of sympathy for them have been

heard on all sides since the news of
the tragedy was brought out.
A remarkable incident connected
with the drowning was a dream Mrs.
W. P. Warnock had Saturday night.
She told it to Mr. and Mrs. Tippett
and to other friends on Sunday, sev
eral hours before the message came
from Joseph creek. .
She dreamed that she saw Jidge
and his wife thrown - into a swift
stream, and that Mrs. Tippett was
swept away and drowned. Mrs. War
nock saw, . particularly, a woman's
blue hat, floating down the stream.
Mrs. Guy Tippett says that her sister
had such a hat and wore it frequent
ly when out riding. .
