DEATH
steader in the Darling Hill country,
was found Sunday night by a party
of ranchers in the upper waters of
Cannady Creek. The condition of the
body would indicate that the man
had been drowned several days.
Neighbors say Frelwald passed their
houses Friday, and that was the last
that was seen of him until his body
was found.
The high water on Cannady creek
was responsible for the man's un
timely death. This is the only re
corded case of drowning1 due to the
high water in the Sheridan country
this winter. It Is generally thought
that Frelwald, who was riding a
horse when last seen
