He Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Merton llai.m n of Apple Valley, who live on that Dugger place near the old Apple Valley Hotel. The fatal accident happened about 12:30, when young Hansen, who had been shaking vines for a crew of potato pickers, decided to take a dip ln the canal, ln spite of fact he could not swim and had been warned by his parents not to go ln swimming. However it is be lieved he didn't Intend to really go swimming but slipped on the steep bank and fell into deep water. He was carried down the swift current and the alarm was sounded. Mrs. Floyd Henderson was one of the first to arrive at the scene of the accident and courageously plunged into the water up to her neck ln an effort to locate die body of the drowning boy. As the word spread, others joined in the search and the CCC camp was notified, who sent a crew of boys to assist ln try ing to locate the boy. The water was turned out of the canal down the Lockett Gulch wasteway and a large crowd from town took up the hunt. Several men and boys from town, OCC boys and others hunted, while Artie Robertson and Don Graham arranged a panel and posts at the Owyhee bridge west of Nyssa In some manner the body got past this obstruction and was recovered a short distance below the bridge by six OCC boys strung across the canal. They were Vic Klinefelter, Virgil Brown, Lawrence Fercho, Bill Jones, W illiam Felght and Keith Horlne. Artificial respiration was applied immediately by Vic Klinefelter, one of the OCC boys, assisted by Harriet Sarazin. while Dr. Sarazin was also present to try to bring life back into the boy's body. Artificial respiration was applied for over an hour, by Klinefelter, Howard Larsen, Jr., and others; but to no avail. Th e boy's father, who was sewing sacks on a job ln Apple Valley was notified, and he rushed to the scene and worked frantically to stir a spark of life, but without success. The accident happened around 12:30, lt Is estimated, and It was neary two hours later before the body was recovered. Dr. R. A. Tacke, county coroner, was called, who pronounced It an unavoidable acci dent. Funeral services were held W ed nesday afternoon In Parma, with the Rev. Herron of the Nazarene church ln charge. Arrangements were made by the Nyssa Funeral Home, with interment ln the Parm a cemetery Get s Job On Foreign Island Word has been received here by Mr. and Mrs. Orant Rawson that their son Emmett, familiarly known as Jerry Rawson, left last Tliurs- day on a three year mission for the Standard Oil Co.
