MART CONNYERS PASSES AWAY

Last Saturday evening we received the sad news of the death of Mart Connyers 
who was crushed between two logs while working in the logging camp near 
Cascade. The accident occurred on the morning of the 19th. He was caught 
between two logs, and one of his legs and foot was crushed so badly that it 
was necessary to amputate it just below the knee. At the time, the railroad 
was blockaded with snow and it was impossible to bring him out, and not until 
Saturday was it possible for a surgeon to reach Cascade. The operation was 
performed Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock, and owing to his weakened 
condition he was unable to stand the shock, and never recovered from the 
effects of the anesthetic.

Mr. Connyers was 42 years old. Besides a wife, he leaves to mourn his loss, a 
father, J. H. Connyers of Payette, two sisters, Mrs. Will Wells of Payette and 
Mrs. H. E. Miller of Seattle, four brothers, Rufus of Payette, Vet. John and 
Dock of Cascade. Mr. Connyers was for several years a resident of this City, 
and had many friends who will mourn his loss and untimely death. The family, 
except the sister living at Seattle, were all present at the funeral which was 
held at Cascade Tuesday. Interment was made in the Cascade cemetery.
