Plunges to Death

The Nampa Record says that George Hamons met a tragic death last Thursday 
night when he stumbled from the top of a precipitous cliff to the rocky bottom 
of Rabbit creek, a distance of 75 feet. He left Matteson's state barn at 
Murphy Thursday evening carrying a shot gun, saying that he would take a 
stroll up Rabbit creek. That was the last seen of him alive. A Search was made 
and the body was found lying face down in the creek bed. The bones in the face 
were crushed and a rugged bolder made an ugly bruise over the heart causing 
his friends to conclude that the heart concussion was the immediate cause of 
death. 

It appears that Hamons had cached some whiskey in that vicinity and his 
wanderings were made in an attempt to locate it in the darkness.
