WAS TODD REALLY DROWNED?
Mystery Surrounds Reported Tragedy
Near Pendleton.


Near Pendleton.
PENDLETON. March 18.-Troy
Todd. the we'll known bronco buster,
is reported to have been drowned in
the Umatilla river about eight miles
abive this city Saturday forenoon
about IL o'clock.
Owing to the fact that Todd was
out under $3.50 bonds awaiting trial on
the charge of stealing a steer. there
is tendency on the part of some of
the officers to doubt the drowning
story. They are of the opinion the
young man has chosen to dwell IN
other clilnes rather than face the
chances of a term in the penitentiary.
According to the story of the drown
ing as told by Mrs. George Bowman
who was riding with him at the time
of the accident, the two were taking
cattle to the river for water at the
Shallai crossing. just above the Indian
celebration grounds. Todd rode ms
horse into the water for some pur-
pose and the river being swollen By
the melting snow and recent rains. the
animal soon was beyond his depth.
AS ne was swimming to shore Todd
was swept from the saddle by an over
hanging limb and drowned. The horse
reached the bank in safety.
There seems to be considerable mys-
terry surrounding the affair as neither
Deputy Sheriff Joe Blakely nor Cor
oner Folsom who went to the scene in
an automobile as soon as it was re-
porter We're able to get an intelligent
account of how it happened.
