The men were crossing Sal
mon river in a basket, suspend
ed from a cable. A log, which
was floating down the river,
hit the basket, and the men
were upset in the water. Sill

seen no more. Sorrow came
to the surface once, and attempted to
swim ashore, but is believed to have
been caught by an undertow, and suck

WATER EXTREMELY HIGH
The river at the time the men were
drowned is said to have been the high

snow in the mountains to melt rapidly,
and the melting SHOWS have greatly
swollen the streams.
Allen Stonebraker, who resides in
Chamberlain basin, south of the Sal
mon, Mr. Flower and q Mr.. Butler,
of Mabton, Wn., were in the party
These three men had remained on the
river bank, and were preparing to
cross in the basket when Sorrow and
Sillge had landed on the opposite side
of the stream.
Butler and Flower, who had been
with Stonebraker on hunting trip
in Chamberlain basin, were ON their
way to their homes in Washington,
and were being accompanied to Dixie
by Sorrow and Stonebraker. The four
men had gathered on the south side of
the river, where Sillge operated a
ferry, comprising a cage or basket
which is drawn across the stream on a
wire cable.
SORROW STARTS FIRST
Sillge prepared to ferry the men
across. Sorrow was the first passenger.
When they reached mid-stream, log
came crashing down the raging river,
hit the cage, and upset the ferryman
and his passenger into the torrent.
Meantime Stonebraker, Butler and
Flower stood powerless on the bank,
for they would have been in the great
est danger of losing their own lives had
they ventured into the water.
Sillge Immediately sank, but Sorrow
started to swim. Witnesses to the
drowning said they believed for time
