Nevada. June 9.-The high waters
county when Chester Ray, aged 80, Of
north of Maxwell, was drowned in
East Indian creek.
Young Ray started on horseback af
ter the cattle. which were in the pas
ture. It was necessary for him to
ford the creek in order TO find them.
When he did not return after being
absent for some times his relatives went
out TO search for him and found his
horse and one Of the dogs that had
accompanied him on small island in
the swollen creek bottom.
Later his boots, which he had re-
moved, were found near where he had
evidently entered the creek and stand
ing over them and watching them was
the other faithful dog.
Ray, who lived with his parents on
the farm, was single and the mainstay
of the family, his father being unable
to work. He was a good swimmer and
1t Is thought likely he was either seized
with cramps when he entered the cold
water or was thrown from the plung-
ing horse and in some manner be-
came entangled in the brush in the
creek.
When the search was resumed this
morning a woven wire was stretched
across tine stream at a point farther
down to prevent the body from floating
farther down the stream. drag net
is being used and swimmers are
securing the banks and searching in
all piles Of brush and debris where
the body might have lodged.
