TER BROCKMAN Falls to His Death in Snake River Mountains. Perhaps no death that ever oc- curred in this portion of the coun- try caused a greater shock than when the news was received Sun- day that Walter Brockman, the well known stockman, was killed that evening by falling overa bluff in the Snake river mountains near Pittsburg Landing on the Oregon side of the river. O. D. Hamlin was asked to go over with his auto truck to bring out the body, and he and Under- taker Maugg leftat once, going in by way of Whitebird. The body was brought next day to Grangeville where it was prepared for burial, which took place at Cottonwood Wednesday, 7th, at 3 ¢e’clock. Mr. Brockman had a boat-load of provisions shipped up the river | from Lewiston for use at his stock jranch on the hill near the river. | The usual landing place there is at Pittsburg, but owning to the low water the landing this time was made at a point 15 miles be- low. From there Walter made a new trail up tha mountain side |and was packing the supplies up to the ranch with six mules. Sunday afternoon he wason his way up the steep trail, riding his horse behind the six mules. Two of his men on the opposite side of the canyon saw him start up, and several hours later saw 5 of the mules and the horse in the trail nearly at the top, apparently in trouble and no rider in sight. Thinking some accident had hap- pened they went over and were horrified at finding Walter and | one of the mules dead on the rocks about 500 feet below. Evidently he was adjusting the |pack on the mule and in some |manner the animal either kicked jor shoved him over the bluff and both fell at least 500 feet, touch- ing at only a couple of places, His body was smashed to a pulp, every bone being broken. Toadd to the horror of the situation, the men found it necessary to wrap the remains in canvas and with ropes had to let him down 200 feet further in order to be able to get out. ~ Nearly all the stockmen from that portion of the country were present at the burial. The funer- al services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Pine, the Christian minister of Grangeville and an old friend of the family. The body was laid to rest beside the graves of his |parents, a sister and his little child, the death of the latter hav- ing occurred 18 months ago.

Walter S. Brockman was born |. COTTONWOOD _ CHRONICLE ~ in Bates county, Mo., July 15, 1878. The family moved to Cal- ifornia in 1888 and 20 years later to this section, where he success- fully followed the stock business ever since. By his own efforts. and careful management he accu- mulated a vast fortune—estimated at around a quarter of a million dollars. In 1911 he was married to Miss Hulda Sanstead of Tacoma, Wash. Besides his widow and 4- year-old son who reside at the farm home near Ferdinand, and one brother, Joe, who is also a promi-’ © nent stockman of this section, he leaves to mourn his loss many friends throughout Idaho, Oregon‘ and Washington, who will always remember Walter Brockman as an ideal citizen and a_ prince among good fellows. Bands Declare Vacation” The Grangeville and Cotton- wood bands have decided to take a “lay-off” until school begins next month, when some members will return from the harvest fields and the bands re-organized. If the draft takes those in the! 18-year class, it will be necessary for the Cottonwood band to ac- cept lady members, of which there are quite a number who wish to join in order to make the band a permanent organization. This matter will be taken up at a special meeting sometime next month. Thousand-Acre Farm Sells For $100,000 Wm.

This is perhaps the largest land deal ever consummated in Idaho county. On Wednesday, Sept. 25, Mr. Mulhall will sell at auction sale all of his fancy stock, farm imple- ments, household goods, etc., and will then’ go to California and Arizona for the winter. It is his intention next Spring to go to New York, where relatives reside and where he will perhaps make his home. Last spring a horse fell on him | at his home, crippling him up to such extent that he has been un- able to look after his extensive land and stock interests, which is his reason for retiring from the business, —o——_ 4 Now the dear reader can better understand why it was called the “Flying Dutchman.” Even a jackrabbit wouldn’t be able to keep out of the Dutchman’s way now in France.
