It has been over a year since he left here to have his wife treated for a frac ture she had received in a runaway some years lefore. . She had to be hauled on a spring bed to Walla Walla where the knee cap was re moved and the joints squared up. This made a solid leg from hip to ankel but unfortunately thev left some decayed bone and it never knit properly and finally broke out again, which -railed for an amputa tion above the knee. 1 Oorye on the Arkansas river, Colo rado.

The other man was his near neighbor. Both men leave families. They were both good swimmers. No one has any idea how it was done as it was eariy in the morning and no one saw them. But there are many whirlpools in the rivers there and they had a poor boat. His family will remain on the fruit ranch he owned near Bliss. They have the sympathy of the entire community.
