Murdock Jay, young man who
has been working on the Humbird
Lumber company log drive on Pack
river, was drowned on the afternoon
of April 5. Word to this effect has
just reached the city, although some
OF the men in charge of the drive
knew of the death.
Jay was an inexperienced man in
the timber business. He was assigned
to camp /, about IA miles from here.
That day he was directed by the fore
man to take some logs down the river,
and was riding one, when, he was seen
to fall off. Men on the other logs
shouted to him to swim ashore, but he
either failed to hear them or thought
he could catch the log, for he contin-
ued to swim after 1t.
He managed to follow the log for
about 800 feet, when he went down
and never came up. A search was
made for the body that day and the
next. but the stream is very swift and
deep and the body was not recovered.
The effects of the young man were
searched and book was found which
showed that he was a member OF
