Fatal Accident Near The Desert
 
J.B. TREVEY KILLED, W.A. COUGHANOUR SERIOUSLY INJURED WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN HEAD 
ON COLLISION
 
In an auto accident Wednesday night on the highway east of New Plymouth near 
the desert, J. B. Trevey received injuries from which he later died and W. A. 
Coughanour was severely injured.
 
They were taken to the sanitarium at Caldwell, where Mr. Trevey died.  Mr. 
Coughanour was given medical attention.  He was unconscious until 9:30 this 
morning, when he came to and was able to speak, although still in a critical 
condition.
 
Crash Head-on
Coming toward New Plymouth, Mr. Trevey attempted to pass a wagon and crashed 
head-on into a light truck driven by Ernest Prichert of Ontario, on his way to 
Boise.  The Trevey car was completely wrecked and its two passengers were 
taken out unconscious.  Prichert's truck was damaged.  He escaped with a 
broken nose.  Both horses drawing the wagon were knocked down, and the driver, 
George Matherton, employee of Walter Little, sheepman, was slightly injured.
 
Attendants at the sanitarium said Mr. Trevey's head was badly crushed and 
probably his skull was fractured.  His chest was also crushed.  Mr. 
Coughanour's injuries were centered about his head and shoulders.
 
Both Prominent Men Here
Mr. Coughanour was 81 years old in March.  He is prominent in Odd Fellow 
activities within the state, holding now the office of grand treasurer for 
Idaho and the title of past grand master of I. O. O. F.  for the state 
organization.  He was mayor of Payette for a number of years.
 
Mr. Trevey was a prominent former between Fruitland and New Plymouth, and was 
well known throughout southwestern Idaho.
