The trio went to the Sherars Bridge area on the evening of October 7, to fish. According to Bureau of Indian Affairs Special Agency offi cer Rob Moran, Paul fished on a scaffold a short distance down stream from Tewee. Walsey went to the car to repair his net and fell asleep. The next morning when Paul went to check on Tewee, there was no sign of Tewee. Paul stated he did find Tewee's net, a gunny sack with a steelhead and some other per sonal items of Tewee's on the scaf fold. A search of surrounding towns, from The Dalles to Warm Springs, failed to turn up any information on Tewee. On October 8 it was determined that he was missing and it was pos sible that he had fallen in the river while fishing. A search was con ducted by the Warm Springs police. Fire and Safety, Utilities, Natural Resources, numerous volunteers and the Warm Springs Search and Res cue volunteer group. A net was strung across the river about a mile-and-a-half from where Tewee was believed to have fallen in. Another net was strung further downstream. A team of searchers set up a base camp and remained at the river continuing the search until on October 22. Tewee's body was recovered from the first net. The Wasco County medical exa miner determined that Tewee had drowned.

"Our organization was founded in 1 899 when 13 Spanish-American War veterans gathered in the rear of a tailor shop in Columbus, Ohio, and little did they dream that what they started in their dedication to assist those who fought for our country would turn into the over two-million member organization that it is today. Just as our founding fathers recognized the need for an organi zation that would work for the good of former servicemen, it is reassuring to note that today's vete rans are becoming increasingly aware of the need for the continued growth of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, an organization that has earned the right to be called the veterans' advocate. As VFW Post 42 17 marks its 100 percent in membership, let us Veteran 's dinner and parade planned A VFW Auxiliary of the Elliott Palmer Post 4217 will hold a dinner on Veteran's Day, November II, 1987 at the Agency Longhouse to honor all veterans.
