R. S. Applegate, an old pioneer who had been lost in the mountains for
three days, was found dead one day last week, about eight miles from Drain,
in the mountains between there and Elkton. He left Drain several days ago
to go to Elkton to purchase some goats. He was returning home through the
mountains when he met his death. Three days after he left Elkton his horse
returned to the place he started from, and parties started out at once to
look for him. They found him dead. The cause is not yet known. He was a son
of Jesse Applegate, one of the first settlers in the Umpqua valley.
