LOST FLYER FOUND - FROZEN T0 DEATH Airman’s Body Recovered Week After He Flew Into Idaho Blizzard. Br the Associated BOISE. Idaho, January 21.—Fred Hoyt. aviator, was found frozen to death tonight, a week after he became lost in a blizzard while flying his plane over a mountainous stretch between Salt Lake City and Boise. A searcher on horseback found the body in an isolated spot in the Black | Pine Mountains, about 10 miles from the canyon where Hoyt's demolished plane was found by a rancher late to- day. C. Hoyt. brother of the lost pilot, left Holbrook, Idaho. to return with the body. A distance of about 30 miles had (to be covered. It could not be determined tonight | whether Hoyt had been injured in a parachute leap from his airplane or | whether he had lost his way after suc- cessfully leaving the plane. Searchors | based their belief that he had made a parachute leap on the fact that his parachute was not found in the wreck- age of the plane. Old-time ~ residents of this vicinity j even before the body had been found. expressed certainty that Hovt would i freeze to death in the mountains whe: | severe weather prevailed and where | could find no sheltering place. !
