The body of Fred Baumback. aged 14 years, living with his brother four miles northwest of Bentley, was found on Tuesday evening In the Blinilman river where it had been since the pre-ceding Tuesday night. Fred left his brother's place that evening on horseback to get the cattle, forded the Blindmnn river and was seen on the south side that evening, from which time all trace of him had been lost, though the horse came back. There was some idea that he might have run away, as he now and then talked that way at school, as boys will do. The A.P.P. Investigated the case and assisted In dragging the river, but they were unsuccessful In finding the body, and the general conclusion was that the boy had gene away. The brother, however, was not satisfied that such was the case and he watched the river patiently each day. On the Tuesday evening a week later the body rose to the surface fully clothed, and the brother recovered It. Coroner Dr. Sharp, Larombe, investigated the case, and came to the conclusion that the lad had been accidentally drowned on his return across the ford. It had been raining the night of May 31, the ford was a bad one with a poor approach and fast current on the river.The pony stumbled and threw the boy, who possibly was stunned and had no chance: he waa well acquainted with the river. He was one of eighteen surviving children, his father having been married twice. His parents were both killed in an auto accident In California in 1811. and his older brother has been his guardian since. He was buried at Bentley on Wednesday. The sympathy of the neighborhood is extended to the surviving brothers and sisters In their loss, the H-F
