Robert Davis Is Victim Of
Accident in Staging ; v
Hanging Scene
Attempting to stage a scone from
a novel of the early west In which
hangings played a prominent part.
Robert Davis, 13. son of Mr. and
Mrs. Claude Davis: of : Klamath
Falls, died by accidental hanging
Sunday morning on the Fort Klam
ath Meadows company ranch near
Fort Klamath where he bad been
staying with his mother during her
vacation.
Robert and his younger brother.
Rex. early In forenoon had taken
horses and gone for a ride. Rex
returned home before noon but Rob
ert went to an Indian camp about
a half mile from the ranch to ask
He return of a book. Zane Grey's
"Heritage of the Desert," which had
been loaned at the ranch to one of
the Indians. The book was a great
favorite and he wanted to read It
again, h9 told the Indian when the
book was returned.
Absorbed In Book.
The Indians were haying, and
when they left camp Robert ' was
seated on a wagon aent, absorbed Ir
the book. When he Indian who
returned he book came - back , to.
camp at S o'clock he caught a
glimpse, of thei hojr 'within a email
shed nearby, and called, "Well, did
ypa read the book?'! .,
Receiving no answer,, the Indian
looked within the shed. He saw the
body of the boy hanging from a
beam.
' Running to the ranch, the Indian
reported what he had seen to Joe
Johnson, a ranch employe, and Mrs.
J. E.-Bratton, who was a guest of
Mrs. Davis. Mrs. Davis was not
there at the time. Johnson was
first to arrive and was holding the
boy's body from the floor of tho
shod when Mrs. Bratton arrived.
Mrs. Bratton reached up to the beam
and untied the rope, releasing the
body.
Lost Balance
Careful investigation, revcalod
that the boy, probably staging tho
hanging scene from the book., had
fastened one end of the tope to an
overhead beam and the other around
his neck, wrapping It around threo
times. Ho then stood on aslll about
1 1 Inches from the floor. ' It wss
believed he lost his balance while
stnndlng there, vlsuollslng the scene
which had appealed to .his boyish
fancy, and swung from the sill. As
the beam was several feet outward
from tho sill, tho boy swung that
distance. His feet were Just touch
ing the floor. He had been dead
two or three hours, examination
showed.
The investlgutors found thnt tbo
rope was loosoly tied to the beam
and the end would have pulled
through the knot but for a small
knot at the very end of the rope.,
Robert Davis was born In Grants
Pass 13 years ago. His mother, a
public accountant and stenographer,
and father,, who Is connected with
the Johnstone Furniture company,
are grief stricken. Mrs. Davis 1s
secretary for the Fort Klamath
Meadows company and was spend
ing her vacation on the Weed ranch.
Davis was greeted with the sad news
upon his return from Portland Sun
day evening. .
Was Atlilo lo Youth , )
Friends of the family say Robert
was an athletic youth with the live
ly Imiiglnatlon of a healthy boy of
his age. His chief amusement was
to act "wild weat" and similar
scenes. Playing, swimming and
horseback' riding wtlh his younger
brother, his stay on the ranch had
been particularly happy.' ''
Funeral service, will be held at
Whltlock's chapel at 4 p. m! Tuesday.
