seems that a party of four young men had
come in n wagon from Missouri, the Ar

started out, Sunday morning, to look at the
old. at the camp. 1t seems that they went to
the river, near by, and were either Jumping
or playing in the sand under the bank, when
the bank caved in, and, covering them up,
killed them. On the return Of the other two
men to camp, the boys absence occasioned
no uneasiness till night, when they did not
return. Search was made, and for five days
nothing was discovered of the bodies until
those in search were attracted to the banks
by the flies. 1t seems that the fingers of the
oldest were just protruding from the sand
An inquest was held by Justice Morgan the
result of which we have not learned. nor the

from Justice Harvey, who held the inquest,
that the boys names were Perry Gilbert IS
