TWO CASCADE BOYS DROWN
 
Two boys, Wayne McMasters, aged 16, and James Coleman, aged 14, both of 
Cascade, were drowned near Cascade in the backwaters of the Payette river 
Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
 
Coleman's body was recovered shortly afterwards, but at a late hour Wednesday 
night the other body had not yet been found.  Searchers, however, expected 
that it would soon be discovered, and announced their expectation to continue 
the hunt for it, all night if necessary.
 
The boys were swimming in the backwaters, when Coleman got too far out, and 
was caught in the current.  McMasters started on a house to his rescue, and 
was likewise swept into the current, where the horse was unable to manage 
itself.

Additional Comments:
Note:  According to the Idaho Death Index, Homer Wayne McMasters was born 7-30-
1912 and died 6-27-1928, Cascade. ch
