Fatal Wreck for Deer Hunting Party
 
Elderly Emmett Man Caught When Trailer Turns Over, Enroute to Hunting Grounds
 
(Statesman)
Emmett - Frank C. Berry, 74-year-old contractor, was the first victim of the 
1931 deer hunting season when he was crushed beneath an automobile trailer 12 
miles out of Idaho City early Wednesday afternoon.
 
Berry with Clare Shane, Emmett, and Ed Case and his father, both of Caldwell, 
left Emmett at 4:30 Wednesday morning for a trip into the Beaver Creek country.
 
Trailer Upsets
The hunters with the exception of the driver, were walking behind the car as 
it pulled a steep ditch in a detour of the Mole's creek summit road.  A rope 
connecting the trailer with the car broke and the vehicle began to roll back 
down the grade.
 
Shane grabbed the trailer and while it was still moving turned it into the 
bank at the side of the road.  The trailer upset.  Another of the party came 
running up the grade.  "There's somebody underneath the trailer" he shouted.
 
Chest Crushed
The men lifted the trailer and pulled Berry free.  Berry apparently was not 
severely hurt.  The party turned back toward Idaho City.  Before they has gone 
more than two miles, Berry died.  Examination revealed his chest had been 
crushed.
 
Berry is survived by two nephews, John Hunt, Emmett and Frank Hunt of 
California.  John Hunt and Coroner Buchman left Emmett Wednesday afternoon to 
return the body.
