The Body is Found Precisely
Where Sandy Went Down.

The body of Sandy McBain, who
was drowned in the Kootenai river
last November, was recovered Sat
urday evening just before dark
about mile and a half below the
ferry.
At the time of the casualty, it
will be remembered, McBain and
Al Anas were going down the river
in a row boat on their way to Nc
Bain's ranch, six miles from Bon
ner's Ferry. Sandy rose to take a
package of tobacco from his pocket
to fill his pipe, when the-boat cap
sized and the men found them
selves adrift in a strong current.
Both were good swimmer Neither
was supposed to need the assistance
of the other. They swan for the
shore. Anas had five pounds Of
nails in the pocket Of his coat.
McBain was not encumbered be-
yond the weight Of his clothing,
vet Anas breasted the current and
was first to reach the shore, When
he turned and looked backward he
saw his companion in lhe last
struggles of drowning, plui ging in
eighteen feet Of water ana feSshing
in vain for the tops Of huge pine
tree that had fallen into the stream.
It is supposed that he was either
taken with cramps or became en-
tangled in the meshes Of the tree.
1t was there poor Sandy went down.
His body could not be found, and
when in time it rose it was to meet
tomb Of ice.
Since the river began breaking
up two weeks ago, a close watch has
been kept for the body Vigilance
was rewarded last Saturday even
ing when Charley Bell, ranch
man, discovered it precisely in thu
place where McBain was drowned
four months ago. The leg of thu
man was frozen in chunk of ice
and the body was thus prevented
from moving down the river. Th
current here was not strong, ant
while the ice was broken, much 0
it had not moved out into the chan
, mel.
Mr.. Bell summoned assistanc
and the body was brought to tn
shore. 1t was fearfully swollen
The clothing was all that enable
his friends to identify the body a
that Of McBain. In one of hi
pockets was found a purse contain
ing $3.50 in silver coin. The cas-
of his gold watch had sprung opel
the hands Of the instrument ha
rotted off, and the works wei
rendered worthless. Nothing mo-
was found upon the person Of tt
