Young Man Apparently Fell Into By-f
ers Race Early Sunday Morning,!
Mhlle Intoxicated Funeral Held '
Today. !
Perhaps not a more effecting scene I
has Leon witnessed In Pendleton for 1
many years than when It was an-1
nounccd Wednesday afternoon that ,
tho body of Elza Todd, who had bcoij
missing since 2:30 Sunday morning, ;
had been found.
Tho last person to see young Todd ,
alivo were Bert Hicks, Misses Bessie :
Hicks and Gracio Ranch. t They won j
coming frpm tho oast and 'dance about
2:30 Sunday morning and saw the j
young man coming down the railroad ,
track, near the Sister's school. He
was staggering from side to side and ;
evidently very much Intoxicated. ,
Hicks and his companions came on, 1
and that was the last seen of Todd 1
alive. He had apparently been com
ing down town or going to his home,
which is in the Gibson gulch, cast of
the schoool house, and had fallen off
the railroad bridge into the water
where the track crosses the mill race.
The body was about 60 yards beiow
the railroad bridge, under the wagon
bridge which crosses the race at tho
south end bf Franklin street. It wns
thought by some when Todd did not
show up Sunday, Monday or Tuesday
and no word could bo had from him,
that he had possibly fallen into the
mill race and was drowned. This idea
gained very little foothold among his
friends until Wednesday morning,
when it was announced that a hat
had been found in the mill race which
was identified as the one worn by
Todd. This hat was found Sunday
afternoon by Frank Bentley and Arth
ur Laing, who were out walking and
discovered it at the lower end of the
race. They did not know at that time
that any one was missing and only
thought the hat had blown from some
one's head and lodged there. It was
laid out on the bank and later picked
up by a passerby. Wednesday morn
ing the finders of the hat informed
Todd's relatives and they identified it
as belonging to the missing man
Then an effort was made to get Byers
to turn the water off the mill race so
that a thorough search could be made
as the finding of the hat where it was
caused everyone to believe that bis
lifeless body was lying at the bottom
of the race. Byers was reluctant to
turn off the water at first, but at noan
he agreed to do it, and by I2;su a
crowd of anxious friends, were patroll
in'g the banks of the race from end to
end and watching every inch of the
water to find some evidence of the
missing man.
They Watched Eagerly.
In most places the bottom of the
race could be seen, but some places
the water was too deep. After the
water began to go down Frank Earn
heart got into a -small boat and start
ing from the head of the race, let his
boat float slowly down the current,
while, with a rake, he carefully
searched the tail-gate where the watv
runs into an underground flume to the
mill. As Earnheart drifted down the
stream a large crowd followed close,
among them the relatives of the miss
ing' man. Every move of the searcher
was watched with eagerness and oc
casionally when he would halt as
though some object had been struck,
every eye would be fixed on him. As
he neared the end of the race the
feeling grew more intense but when
the searcher turned at the terminus
and announced that he did not believe
his friend Todd was in the race, a
feeling of relief went through the
crowd, which had by this time been
swelled, to more than 250. The
boat was then lifted out on tho bank
and the people began to disperse,
witli the conviction that they would
have to look somewhere else for the
mourned missing man.
About this time it was announced
that the body had been discovered
several rods above, and a rush was
made for the scene. A sister of the
drowned man was among the crowd,
and when the announcement reached
her she had to be supported by
friends to keep her from falling to the
ground in a swoon. The scene was
very effecting and is one that will not

direction when ho was going east. It
was almost 2 o'clock in tho morning

fTnddl would have to no alone. There
they parted. Bert Culp, Miss Grade

For Period Covering Two Years Back
No Sneclal Significance in the
Move.
,On motion or Councilman Clopton,
it was ordered Wednesday evening
by the city council, that a compotont
bookkeeper be employed to export tho
records covering a period of two years
back.
There was no intimation that any
thing was wrong with tho books, or
that thcro was a possibility of thoro
being a shortage In tho receipts ns
entered upon tho books, but In Intro
duclng tho motion Mr. Clopton Bug
gostod that it was no more than right
that the pcoplo know Just tho exact
standing or tho city records as they
were when Recorder Beam wont out
or office nnd was succeeded by John
M.cCourt. Tho object is to have tho
hooks and reports nil gone ovor and
checked up to sec If everything com
pares correctly. This baa been tho
custom of tho council heretofore, but
it has been about two years since this
was done, and tho council thought
that in view dr the fact that a now
recorder was serving, ho should know
how tho books wero when ho took
hold of tho ofilco.
