Logger Meets Death in Angry Flood
Below Slnice Dam.

dispatch from Sheridan gives par
ticulars of the drowning of Matt Err
ickson in Mill Creek. Friday:
Matt Erickson, an employe of the
Sheridan Lumber company's logging
camp near here, met death Saturday
by drowning in Mill creek. The loggers
were returning to work from the noon
meal, one party going to the reservoir
dam to turn on the water for sluicing
down the logs, and the others to the
woods a short distance below the dam.
The water had been turned on and was
coming down the creek with rush
as the second party was crossing the
stream on logs and boulders. The men
saw the flood coming and hastened to
escape 1t, except Erickson, who either
did not realize its force or was paral7
yzed from fright. The water struck
him in such q manner as to spin him
around like a top and then covered
him completely. The men looked for
him to rise, but nothing was again
seen of him until his body was found
four miles down the stream. His head
and body was bruised by logs and
boulders and no clothing was left on
him but his boots.
HE was about 20 years of age and
came here from a Portland employ
ment agency and was completing his
first days work for the company. He
had no luggage and left nothing to
show from where he came or clue as
to friends OF relatives. The body was
cared for at the Myers undertaking
parlors and will be buried at Polk
county's expense, in which county the
drowning occurred"

tor for them and help them In a for
ward movement for the erection of a

The attendance last evening was
very good for a Monday night meet

receive will amply repay for the work
of conducting the contests"
