sheepman, was drowned Friday
while attempting to ford the Salmon
river at Shorts bar, near higgins.
Kimbrough, with a number of 9TH

a Red Coss dance. When they came
TO the river, Kimbrough, who was on
horseback, declared he would ford
the stream, rather than cross at the
bridge not far distant. He was warn
ed by his companions not to risk
fording the stream, but he insisted
that he could safely cross, and rode
his horse into the swift water. The
horse threw him. He lost the horse,
and swan for quarter of mile
down the river, while his friends on
the bank yainly attempted to rescue
him. A rope was thrown toward him
number of times but IL was too
short to reach him. Finally when his
strength was exhausted and he could
