low, met with an accident in the local
yards in August of 1910, by which he
lost a leg and was otherwise severely
injured. He was taken to st. Luke

injuries. Attorneys for the railroad

a rubber mattress, inflated with air.
Boarding his raft at the headwaters
Of the Gunnison, he started on the
wild ride through its canyon with the
idea OF prospecting for a possible OPP
portunity to divert its waters and get
them upon the desert.
This raft of air and rubber was be.
lieved to be immune to the shocks that
1t would meet in plunging headlong
down the currents of this stream. To
a large extent, 1t proved worthy OF
the confidence that was placed In it.
