Charley Davis, a logger, was em ployed by the Coast Fork Lumber Company at tbe Rouse Mill, South of Cottage Grove last season, and on November 11, 191)3, iu order to get out of tbe way of a log roll or breaking of u log jam, be jumped iuto the river aud was drowned. Diligent search was kept up for some time for his body but without avail, as the river was bank-fill', at the time of bis drowning and it is sup posed bis remains bad been covered with sand or concealed iu a drift. However, during the receiit freshet tbe body was washed from its mys terious bidiug place and lodged in the forks of a tree a short distance above the Shortndge Mill, six miles below where the drowning occurred. The grewsome discovery was made by Sherman Shortridge and L. G. Moxley, Tuesday, February 16, three months after the drowning, and, strange to relate, the body was in a good state of preservation, render ing identification an easy matter. Tbe watch of tbe dead man com menced running as soon ns it was wound up. His clothing was all intact, and bis knife and some money was found in bis pockets. Tbe face was somewhat bruised, otherwise no marks appeared on the body, which must have laid all this time covered with sand in the bed of tbe river. Tbe remains were ex pressed to the willow and other relatives at Oakland Wednesday for burial by Martin A Lawson, tbe local undertakers, to whom the body was delivered for interment prepara tions.
