Court Makes Inquiry:

On board the flagship Louisiana
Rear Admiral Vreeland convened a
court in inquiry to determine the ex-
act cause of the accident and place
the responsibility. A number of the
men who were on board the Inflated
boat told their stories, and a report
of the findings of the court wheE
completed will be forwarded to the
navy department .
Various suggestions as to how the
accident occurred were In circulation.
The generally accepted one, however,
was that the barge, heavily loaded
with sailors and marines, returning
from shore leave, was caught in the
heavy sWells from a passing steam
boat. Rising for a moment like a
cork, the barge then plunged into a
trough between two waves, one of
which broke over the side and
swamped it.

Victim for Salmon

On Sunday morning, June II,
Stanley Mitchell was drowned in the
South Fork of the Salmon River.
The young man was Cornishman
twenty one years old and had recently
taken out naturalization papers. He
was stopping at the ranch Of G. F.
Smith, preparatory to working on the
foresters' trail. He was we'll and
favorably known in and around the
camp of Warren and had proven
himself to be honest and reliable. His
body has not yet been recovered and
it is feared that it has been swept into
the main Salmon, though the searchers
are yet at work.
The Golden Rule Placer Company
and Herbert Thorpe of the Secesh
Placer property ceased operations for
day in order to allow the water to
become clear in the hope that the body
could be seen if lying in the hole
where it went down.
