BODY OF MAN IS FOUND IN SNAKE
 
Turns Out to Be That Of Jack Lane Drowned At Nyssa In January
 
Monday afternoon A. H. Ramey and son discovered the body of a man in an eddy 
near an island in the Snake river not far from the Ramey farm about a mile 
west of Fruitland.  The remains were taken to Payette and later identified by 
former fellow workmen as John J. Lane, a bridge worker, who was drowned 
January 29, while working on the Short Line bridge over the Snake river at 
Nyssa.

Although the body had been in the water 41 days it was well preserved and 
recognizable, but discolored rapidly after being taken from the water.

An inquest was held in Payette Tuesday afternoon by Coroner Farris, of 
Caldwell, the jury returning a verdict of accidental death by drowning.
