Michael Welch, about 30 years of age, hailing from Colton W.T., arrived in this

in liquid luxuries to a considerable extent but not sufficient to attract
particular notice. In the afternoon of Saturday, he concluded to return to
Colton, and with that purpose boarded Silcott's Ferry. when the ferry had
proceeded a few lengths from shore, he approached the apron, threw up his hands
and saying "Good Bye boys", plunged into the Clearwater. The
ferryboat passing partially over him. The headway of the boat was
immediately stopped and he soon appeared on the surface but made no attempt to
save himself and before it was possible to render him assistance he sank out of
sight for the last time.
