Mr. FISHER
Arizona Republican Newspaper
December 11, 1905

Word was brought to Globe by Henry Q. Robertson who 
returned from Payson last week as soon as the Salt River 
became fordable, that a brother of Walter Fisher had 
disappeared and it was feared he had been lost in the 
flood which poured through every gulch in the county 
last week, says the Silver Belt.  He left home Saturday, 
Nov. 26, intending to visit Allen's ranch in Little 
Green Valley, riding a horse bareback and without a 
coat.

He stopped overnight at a friend's house in Star Valley, 
where he left his horse and proceeded on foot Monday 
morning.

Mr. Allen went to Payson on Thanksgiving day and was 
questioned regarding Fisher's visit.  He reported that 
he had not reached the ranch up to the time of his 
departure.  Word was immediately sent to Walter Fisher 
who was en route for Globe having been summoned to 
serve on a grand jury.  He returned at once and organized
a posse who started to scour the country in the hope of 
finding his brother.

The missing man was of middle age and had defective 
eyesight and it is feared that he missed his way in 
the storm and was injured by a fall or that he may 
have attempted to ford one of the numerous gulches 
he would require to pass, being swept away by the 
torrents which swelled every stream in the county 
that day.  No further news had been received in 
Globe up to the time of going to press. 

A few days ago, when the flood was at its height, the 
dead body of a man was seen for an instant as it was 
swept by.  It is probably that that was Fisher's body 
as no drownings have been reported from up the river.
