ACCIDENTALLY
DROWNED
The Body of Edward
Hurlblirt
FOUND IN THE RIVER
Redmond, Ore., Dec. 22.
This neighborhood has been the
cene of quite a tragedy that re
nulled in the death of Ed Hurl
burt, manager ot the Cline Falls
Power Company' ranch.
Mr. Hurlburt was last seen
alive by L. E. Pr.ckett about 11:30
a. ra. Saturday, as he started
down over the bluff from the
ranch house to the power house to
turn on the ram that furnishes
water to the house. Mr. Mailer,
the cook, came in about noon from
the schoolhouse, where he bad
been helping trim a Christmas
tree. He got his dinner, ate-it,
washed the dishes, and left dinner
on the table for Mr. II., whom he
expected would be in Boon and re
turned to the schoolhouse. When
be again returned about 4 o'clock
and found that no one had been
there he commenced a search,
starting down for the power house.
When about two-thirds of the way
down he saw a bat lying 'near the
water and after going a little fur
ther down- saw the body itself in
the intake to the flume that leads
down Jto the ram and turbine
pump, lying face downward and
floating in four or five feet of
water. He drew the body out and
went for assistance and with the
help of Messrs. Bishop, Chase and
Meredith, carried it to the house at
the top of the hill. The first ones
to see the body thought that they
saw signs of foul play in what
seeme9 to be a bullet wound at the
inside of one eye. A close exam
ination by the coroner, however,
showed that this was not the case
that there was no evidence of
violence. A bruise on the fore
head was found, but hardly one
that would have had a serious
effect. The brain seemed entirely
normal, alxo the heart which was
being examined at the time the
writer was there.
It seems that Mr. Hurlburt
must have cleaned out the screens
that let water down to the ram,
gone down and started the ram,
came back and crossed the flume,
then perhaps have been taken with
a fainting fit or heart failure. "
A preliminary inquest was held
Saturday evening befor Justice of
the Peace Jones who was called, a
final hearing before the coroner
being set for Monday evening.
The following are the jurors:
Meredith, McCarty, Sears, the
other mail carrier, Lilly and Har
ader. The Prineville parties, the
coroner, judge, sheriff and deputy
arrived about 1 o clock today and
will probably work all night.
The deceased was a young man
of exemplary habits who came
here eight or nine months ago to
take Mr. Thompson's place as
manager of the company farm in
which his brother, Mr. Hurlburt of
the Shaniko bank, is quite a heavy
stockholder. The brother is ex
pected in from Shaniko some time
tonight.
The tragedy "has naturally put
quite a damper on the Christmas
festivities which were to take place
Saturday night and they have
been postponed until Wednesday
evening. . E. C. Park.
later ,
After a thorough investigation
of the circumstances surrounding
the death of ' the unfortunate
young man the county authorities
came to the conclusion that the
drowning was accidental. Sheriff
Elkins, Deputy Sheriff Combs,
Judge Bell and Dr. Edwards went
to Cline Falls Sunday to look into
the affair. Dr. Edwards njade a
postmortem and found no evidence
of foul play. The brain and
heart were examined which showed
that there was neither blood clots
nor hemorrhage. The heart
showed there waa valvular in
sufficiency which was pronounced
enough to cause heart trouble. It
is tbe opinion of the doctor that
the exertions of the young man in
going to the hydraulic ram
caused an unusual flow of blood to
tbe heart and this in turn made
him sick. He felt the need of
tome water and laying his hit
aside on the bank proceeded to get
it. In stooping over the embank
ment of the intake became dizzy
or lost consciousness and fell into
the water. That the man was
alive when he fell io is attested by
tbe fact that water was found in
his lungs. That Hurlburt ran or
rather jumped down the sidehill
is shown by bis foot prints in mak
ing the descent to the stream.
Redmond Item
It does not look very much like
a desert out this way with two
whole days and nights of almost
continuous showers.
U. C. Bauer and Mr. Lauder-
back are in from the ditch camp
for some time.
W. 8. McEwing was in BeiiJ for
lumber the past week. He gets
tired of rummaging around in tbe
wet for stovewood.
Several farmers of this vicinity
were hauling from the Prineville
Flouring Mill the latter part of the
week.
On a trip to O'Xeil last Wednes
day three new houses that we bad
not seen before, either completed
or in process of construction, was
all we could find. There is another
one started the past week but it is
not on that road.
The house warming at W. E.
Young's Friday night was entirely
successful, about fifty being pres
ent. Elegant refreshments were
served.
McLallin and Welch were
among tbe hunters the past week.
We did not hear whether they got
any mountain sheep or not.
Yours truly will soon have some
more dead junipers and totem
poles lying around when we get
that new stump puller limbered up.
Although the ladies labored un
der quite a severe disadvantage on
account of the weather they feel
quite well satisfied with the out
come of the bazaar. Quite a neat
sum was realized from the saleof
tbe many nice articles on band.
