DROWN IN PAYETTE RAPIDS.
Two Boats, Containing Sixteen Log
gers, oVerturn-SeVen Are
nPoNgnaH

In the angry waters of the south
fork of the Payette seven men lost
their lives Thursday afternoon. They
were Joe Boden, Bert Ure, Mel Curtis,
Joe Hamilton, Tom Highland, Frank
Fitzgerald and David Mcmillan. 1t
is not anticipated that the bodies will
be recovered soon.
The men were in the employ of the
Idaho White Pine Mining company of
Nampa and were engaged, under the
superintendency of H. F. Strong, in
bringing down a log drive. The party
had two boats which were used on
stretches of the stream where they
could be handled. Thursday afternoon
the two boats pulled into large eddy
just IL miles above Garden Valley,
near the place where the accident &C.
Cured, it being the intention to tie up
there for the night and let the boats
down through the rapids below in the
morning
The first boat failed to make a land
ing properly and the men determined
to run the rapids. Soon after it struck
the bad water the boat filled and sank
The men in the second boat thought
the first had succeeded in making the
run safely and started down after it,
meeting with the same fate. Nine
succeeded in reaching the shore after
a terrible experience in the boiling
water. Some of them were carried
down long distance before they could
work their way to landing place.
None of the drowned men had fami-
lies so far as known, and it is not
known from whence they came They
were loggers.
