THE WENATCHEE RIVER
CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM
Fred Nelson Believed to Have Jumped
From Dam Wednesday Afternoon
Was in DespOndent Mood say
Friends

One OF the mysteries that will likely
never be solved had its beginning
Wednesday afternoon when word was
brought up from the Lamb-Davis Co.'S.
dam east of the city, by several small
boys that a man had fallen off the
bridge and was drowned.
1t was at first believed that it was an
Indian but an investigation proved
that none of the tribe who are camping
near the river was missing.
One of the boys who saw the man
struggling in the icy waters and finally
go to his death states that a few min
utes before while crossing over the
dam he passed a man sitting on the
bridge close to the waters edge and at
the time the fellow was bent over with
his head resting in his hands. While
not certain he believes that it was the
same man he saw a few minutes later
in the water.
In the first eddy below the dam the
boy states that the man made an effort
to swim ashore, but on account of the
current and the cold water which evi-
dently gave him cramps his efforts
proved futile. Passing thru the rap
ids at the foot OF the eddy was
the last seen of him. Searching par
ties spent several hours along the
river bank but could find no trace OF
the body.
While as yet the mans identity has
not been proven it is believed his
name was Fred Nelson who has been
employed at the Depot Restaurant.
Mr. Galloway, manager of the eating
house, states that the man, or boy as
he was. only 10 years of age left the
restaurant shortly after noon Wednes-
day and as yet has not made his ap-
pearance. AS he did not take his
clothes or personal belongings it is not
likely that he left the city.
1t is thought that Nelson was tenn
porarily deranged resulting from an
injury to his head several weeks ago.
He has never been quite right since
that time and it is more than likely
that this had something to do with his
disappearance.
Mr.. Galloway says the man has
been homesick for several weeks, and
in despondent mood and is OF the
opinion that if it was him who went
over the dam, that it was with suicidal
intent. He was quite we'll educated
youth having spent several years in
high school and was saving his money
that he might re-enter school again
next year.
His parents reside in Michigan and
will be notified of his disappearance.
He also has sister living at Teton,
Idaho who is a school teacher.

MOTORING AND BASEBALL
Managers May Regulate Use OF
Cars by Players.

Is automobilinG a good thing for base
ball? Several Of the big league managers
have had to answer this question during
the last year. and many OF them have
weighed the matter seriously.
Ball players often use the pleasure car
to their own disadvantage, and several Of
the major league leaders are considering
the proposition Of establishing rules
which Will regulate the use Of the auto
mobile this coming season.

Cincinnati club, who drives a Case ma

training rules when a PLAYER possesses
a machine SAYS that he will first ask his
men not 10 abuse the privilege given
them. but if JOY riding is INDUCED in too

Frank Chance. who always goes TO and
from the park in his Case runabout, says
that the automobile is fine thing for the
ball player when used properly, but that

All baseball managers agree that IT is a
good thing foy players 10 get THEN minds

bling is one OF the very best means Of
doing this. But there is a limit
