Will Seek Corpses of Indiana Men Drowned During Canoeing Trip on Peace River, British Columbia
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 18 - (Special) - With the lapse of a week since the drowning of Albert C. Jennison of this city and J. Donald Adams of Columbia City, both Wabash College graduates, in Peace River, British Columbia, a reward of $200 has been offered for the recovery of their bodies.
The boat, containing some blankets, a hat and coat and some other property of the unfortunate young men, was found by members of the Foley-Welch-Stewart Construction Company, for which they were working. The Crawfordsville Trust Company, which is to be administrator of Jennison's estate, and Charles Adams of Chicago, an uncle of the Adams boy, posted these rewards. Mr. Adams has gone to the scene of the drowning and will superintend the search for the bodies.
BROTHER WRITES LETTER.
A letter was received by J. N. Fullenwider from james D. Adams, brother of Donald, this morning. He says that the last letter was received from his brother on Aug. 1, and that at that time he said that he intended to go up into the Peace River region, overland. Mr. Adams is convinced that his brother changed his plans and acted against advice. He wrote to him, telling him and Jennison to stay away from a canoe on the swift mountain streams, but he thinks that they felt that their experience on inland lakes led them to believe that they were masters of mountain streams. Donald Adams replied to the letter of advice that he thought there was no danger in canoeing on the rushing waters of the Northwest. Mr. Adams also stated that he felt satisfied that the sight of the Fraser River would be enough for the young men.
He stated further that the investigation was in the hands of the most competent men in the region. John Walter who has been conducting the search, has been a resident of that part of the country for forty-one years and is known and liked by practically all of the Indians in that section of the country. He once told James Adams that if he ever became lost in the wilds of British Columbia to just mention his name and the Indians would see that he would get back. Jennison and Donald Adams visited Mr. Walter and his son Stanley just before they set out on their fateful journey. It is thought possible that Mr. Walter told the young men the same thing, and that if they are not drowned, but lost, they will eventually run across some Indians who will take them to the Walter home.
Mr. Adams has great confidence in his uncle, Charles Adams of Chicago, who arrived at Edmonton, Alberta, Thursday. he is well acquainted with the territory and besides is a very systematic business man, who will probably perfect some organized plan of search that is almost sure to locate their bodies before the passing of many days.
