Kenneth Bartlett has a Thrill
Funeral of Lester Rivers
From the Telegram of last Fri­
day we clip the following, about
Kenneth Bartlett son of Mayor
and Mrs. E. W. Bartlett.
“ Bartlett’s home is in Estaca­
da. He, too, had his thrill not
far from the apple tree where a
certain mess-kit was abandoned.
Boche aviators were bombing the
place, trying to get the engineers
who were working like beavers
repairing the road so the artill­
ery could move up; Bartlett was
on the road at the time and heard
the sound of the motors over­
head. He looked up, noted the
iron cross painted on the wings
and at the same instant saw, a
bombstart falling from the plane.
At first it looked about the size of
a football, but in an instant it
seemed to be as large as one of
the O. W. R. R. & N. locomo­
tives. ‘If that bird had held on
to that egg two seconds longer,
he would have gotten me, ’ stated
Bartlett, ‘for he was coming
right in my direction and flew o-
ver my head. I looked up when
I heard the motor, thinking as a
fellow would, that they were our
planes; I saw the iron crosses,
then a couple of flashes and
something black started to fall.
Then I heard a guy yell “ Ger­
mans” and I teat it.’
The body of Lester Rivers who
died at Fort Stevens, Wash.,
was shipped to his home at Eagle
Creek, and the funeral took place
there on Sunday.
He was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. James Rivers of Eagle
Creek and twenty-five years old
at the time of his death which
resulted from the Spanish in­
fluenza. The services were held
in the Eagle Creek Church, a
minister from Gresham conduct­
ing them. The church was bank­
ed with floral offerings and the
casket draped with a large flag.
The internment was in Forester
cemetry where the mortal re­
mains of this soldier will rest un­
til the sounding of the reveille
on the day of the Great Awak­
ening. He leaves a widow and
baby, besides a father, mother
and a brother. The bereaved re­
latives have the sympathy of his
country.
Undertaker L. A. Chapman
had charge of all arrangements
which he carried out in his usual
sympathetic and efficient manner.
Notice to Stockholders.
The meeting of stockholders of
the Cooperative Cheese Associa­
tion of Garfield, which was called
originally for November 9th, and
postponed on account of the in­
fluenza, will now take place at
the cheese factory at 2 p. m,, on
Saturday November 30th.
Estacadans Joined in Search
Last Sunday for the
Missing Boy
THE HUNT STILL GDNTINUES
Officials are of Opinion that
a Passing Autoist Picked
the Little Fellow up
About twenty-five men from
this place, joined in the hunt last
Sunday in the Ixvgan woods, for
the little 5 year old Thompson
boy who disappeared the 13th.
He w n assisting an older broth­
er in driving some cattle and be­
came tired and the elder brother
told him to wait on the road for
his mother, who was to pass there
in a short time, with a load of
furniture.
When the mother
and an older son arrived at their
destination and missed the young­
ster they asked the other son
about him and he said they should
have met him on the road. Be­
coming alarmed the older boy
immediately mounted one of the
horses and went back to the place
where the boy was left. He hunt­
ed all around and called to him
but with no result.
An autoist from Portland who
drove his machine over the road
said that he saw the lad sitting
by the roadside as he drove by.
Since that time no trace has been
discovered and the officials are at
a loss to explain the case. ' The
only plausible theory that has
been advanced is that the child
has been picked up by some pass­
ing traveler who has not heard
of the search for the child. Some
think that the boy has walked
to the river and accidentally
drowned, officials claim that the
distance to the river from where
the child was left in the road, is
over a mile and a half, and ever»
if the lad had gone in that
direction he would have met his
mother, who was driving a team,
before he could have reached the
river, for in order to get to the
river the lad would have to follow
the road at that point.
