A Young Man drowned
The Roseburg Review has an accounts sad ending to a carnival party in Camas Valley one night last week.
The crowd had separated, two young men, Thrush and Estes, going home by themselves. As they were crossing a bridge, Estes made a misstep in the darkness and fell into the swollen creek, disappearing from his companion's sight. Thrush gave the alarm, and a thorough search was instituted, but at last reports received from the valley. The body had not been recovered. Ed Estes, the unfortunate victim, was 18 years old.
[Was actually 20 yrs old]
