CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS IN THE VICINITY OF PAYETTE
 
Payette Independent - Walter King, aged about 32 years, who was well known and 
respected by nearly all citizens of Payette, lost his life by drowning while 
crossing a treacherous ford on the Payette river Wednesday afternoon about 
1:30 o'clock.
 
Mr. W. E. Banks of Centerville, Iowa, who represents the Spaulding 
Manufacturing company, as a traveling salesman, was with Mr. King at the time 
of the accident and barely escaped the fate of his companion.
 
Upon reaching the shore, Banks went to Mr. Linder's house on the W. A. 
Coughanour ranch where he gave the alarm and a number of farmers were soon at 
the river where they managed to save one of the horses some distance below the 
ford.
 
King's body has not been recovered.

Additional Comments:
Note:  Walter King is buried at Riverside Cemetery, Payette in an unmarked 
grave.  ch
