Payette, Idaho
August 19, 1893

Last Sunday afternoon Len Morton and William Gay discovered a body floating in 
Snake river at the Ontario ferry.  They took a skiff and towed it ashore near 
the railroad bridge, and on Sunday evening an inquest was held by Coroner 
Maxey.  The investigation failed to reveal the man’s indentity, but Coroner 
Maxey has since received word that the body was that of John Echenger.  He had 
been engaged in placer mining on the island near Nyssia, Oregon, and his 
drowning was probably accidental.  His boat and tools were found near the farm 
of Dr. W. C. Maxey, not far from the island.  He was a single man and his 
address was Nyssia.
