lost his life on May 20 when an auto

canon above Glenwood, carrying the
two men to their death, was discovered
Tuesday evening at Fruita, more than
125 miles below Glenwood, us the riv-
er flows
The body was first seen going past
Palsade, and the word was phoned to
Grand Junction, where men who had
provided themselves with ropes and
long poles, sought to recover it as Il
passed under the bridge, but without
avail
Fruita was then notified by phone,
and a few men rushed to a nearby
blacksmith shop and procured long
rods on the end of which hooks were
fashioned and with these the body
was dragged out of the swift current
and with much effort, brought to land.
The body was thought to be that of
Crawford, and Amos Ralston and DIR.
Clark, the county coroner, left Tues
day evening for Grand Junction and
although the clothing had been almost
entirely whipped from the body by be-
ing buffeted about by the angry wat
ers for nearly three weeks, "A patched
