x And Elects Officers
The Sherman County Fair Asso­
ciation held their regular annual
meeting in Moro last Saturday af­
ternoon. While the election of offi­
cers to serve for another year was
the cause of the meeting the matter
of financing a fair within a year or
two was discussed. Preliminary re­
ports as to the success of the pari­
mutuel bill that is to return a part
of the income to the county fair as­
sociations of the ^tate w|e that
there would be enough money
available by next year to support a
»air here.
It was reported that the 1930 fair
returned $5319.29 to the producers
of the county whereas only $3500.00
was tho expense of the county.
Officers elected to serve until June
1934 were. President,
H. Bar­
num; Vice-president, George Wil­
kerson; Secretary. E. Fred Pickett;
Treasurer, G- L. French.
Authentic information ^ibout the
probable drowning of William Her­
ald Todd was received Tuesday
night when his father, W. C. Todd,
returned from Grangeville. Idaho,
where he had been for ten days
helping in the search fofc the young
man or his body.
Herald was w’orking in a C. C. C
camp situated near the south fork
of the Clearwater river. On Satur­
day June 3, he left the .camp tc
walk to the home of a friend to
spend the night with him- Sunday
morning he started to
return
to the camp. It was raining and
the rivers and creeks were up.' It
was necessary for Herald tu walk
down a cieek for some distance and
be. aus^* of ihe rain, tlve roughness
of the country and the brush this
trip took from eight in the '^wming
until four in the afternoon.
When he arrived at the river are
asked fur some one to bring over a
boat and take him across he was
motioned back us the river was too
high and rapid to permit the use of
a boat^ He started to the crossing
but within a few minutes turned
back and walked up the John's cneek
where there was a foot log on
which he might cross. He appeared
XUUUo
MsuCl that
llMii
It is Mr- » Todd
’s belief
when he came to the foot log he
walked out on it to see if he could
cross and slipped into the stream.
He was wearing Tubber soles an<!
the log was under water at one end.
Had he been able to cross at this
place he would have been able t<
save an eight mile tramp and he was
already weary, according to the
story of those who saw him.
No trace of the body has been
found and it is thought that some
time may elapse before it la found
as the rivers are very high in that
country. He was 26 years old and
was the son of Mr. and Mrs- Wil­
iam H. Todd, of Grass Valley. He
is survived by his wife, two children
his parents two brothers and a sis-
tei. Mr. E. W- Mobley, father in
law of the drowned man, remained
at, Grangeville to • hearch for the
body.
