river at the Waugh ferry Monday after
noon, according to report telephoned
from Adams Camp to Grangeville Tues
day by Louis Howard.
The exact details of the tragic death
of the two men will probably never be
known. On the river bank near the
ferry were found some tools which they
had evidently used to fashion the crude
log raft on which crossing was at
tempted and down the river few miles
the raft itself was sighted some hours
afterwards. The team of horses which
the men had driven to the river was
found at the ferry site unattended.
The horses were still hitched to the
buggy.
Louis Howard, who first learned of
the tragedy, brought the team to Adams
Camp, the nearest available phone sta
tion, and wired the sad news to w.
Waugh who apprised young Price 5
folks and Barkwell's friends of the
drowning.
Clyde and Darrell Price, brothers of
Forest, left Tuesday evening for the
scene of the sad affair. They were
accompanied by Ben Castle who went as
far as Adams Camp and returned yes
terday afternoon with the team which
Forest and Barkwell had driven to the
ferry. Castle also brought back Bark

packed it. From Adams Camp the

"There is no county in the state that

Mr.. Wren, referring to Idaho county.
The people there are alive to the

Writing Life Insurance.

l. c. Hattabaugh, who came up from
Lewiston last week, reports that he is
now engaged in writing life insurance
for the Western Union Life Insurance
Co., of Spokane.
Mr.. Hattabaugh says that during his

commissioner of Idaho he has learned
something of the magnitude and i'm
portahce of life insurance. He says
that he was offered the agency of
several of the big eastern companies
but the fact of he-in his official capa-
city-having examined each and every
policy written in the state during the
past two years has placed him in a
position to know something of the
various kinds of policies written in
Idaho and therefore he decided that
the Western Union company is offer
ing one of the most attractive contracts
to policy holders. Mr.. Hattabaugh says
it is his opinion that if better con
tract is ever offered the public than the
Western Union is now selling that the
Western Union company will write it.

Barkwell and Price left 'Grangeville
Saturday morning to go to the Waugh
place and another ranch in that vicinity
in which Barkwell and Kenneth r.
Stilz, of this city, were interested.
The ferry at the Waugh place went
down the river recently and the men
were compelled to provide their own
meaps of crossing the turbulent waters.
The river, always treacherous, is swollen
at this time of the year with added
rains and melting SHOWS and in the
opinion of men who know Young Price
and Barkwell probably had only the
smallest chance of crossing in safety
on the improvised raft.
Forest Price was the youngest son of
Mr.. aud Mrs. Ed Price of this city
He was nineteen years of age. He
grew up in Grangeville and has always
enjoyed wide circle of friends in the
city and country.
Barkwell was % years of age. His
relatives reside at Wilson Creek, Wash
ington, and this was his first trip to
this part of the country. What con-
meets an additional touch of sadness ia
the circumstances of his death is the
report that he was engaged to young
lady in Washington and that the date
set for the wedding is in the near
future.

latiyes, has offered reward for the
