Kellogg Area Men Victims Of Air Crash, Boat Mishap
The crash of a light plane and a boating accident claimed the lives of two north Idaho men yesterday as they were searching for the bodies of two teen-agers who had drowned in the Coeur d'Alene river a week earlier. Both of yesterday's victims drowned.
First victim was 44-year-old Orville Culp, manager of the Kellogg airport and a former Spokane resident, who died shortly after noon when he was pinned in the wreckage of his small plane in the water of the north fork of the river near Cataldo.
About five hours later, 22-year-old Ronald Rickman of Smelter Heights, near Kellogg, was lost in the main Coeur d'Alene river near Dudley, Idaho, when the small boat in which he was riding struck a log and capsized.
Both had been hunting for the bodies of two Osburn youths - Laurin Stroud, 17, and Paul Crozel, 19-who drowned about midnight April 19 when a pickup truck driven by Stroud slid off a highway into the north fork of the river about five miles west of Kellogg.
Culp and Forrest Rosson, 45, city employee at Kingston, Idaho, were flying low over the river when the plane hit a cable that was supporting a power line suspended across the water.
The craft cartwheeled into the river, nose-first. Culp, partly crippled because of a boyhood hip injury, drowned when the plane sank. Rosson, although injured, kicked his way free of the wreck and swam to shore.
Witnesses of the crash and Rosson tried vainly to free Culp from the wreckage, but were unsuccessful. His body was recovered when the plane was retrieved about 45 minutes after the crash.
Grabbed Stick
Rosson was admitted to a Kellogg hospital later suffering from head and body injuries and cuts on his face, hands and arms. He told an investigator he saw the cable just before the accident, grabbed the stick in an attempt to pull the plane up, but was too late.
A physician said Culp apparently was knocked unconscious in the crash, because his head bore a large swelling. He also suffered fractures of his right leg, left ankle and right wrist.
Rickman and 35-year-old Arthur Hussa of Kellogg had been searching the main river for several hours. The boat hit the log as they were returning to Dudley. Hussa said he and young Rick man hung on to the side of the boat for a while, but the craft rolled and they lost their grips. Hussa said he then attempted to hang onto Rickman, who couldn't swim, but was unsuccessful.
Rickman's body sank in about 35 feet of water. Hussa was picked up by another boat that had been along on the search, in which Chet Wilson of Pinehurst and Leonard Lehtola of Dudley were riding.
Dragging Operations
Dragging operations were conducted until after dark, but all that was brought up was the canvas tool bag out of Rickman's boat. Officers said the hunt for Rickman's body would be resumed early today.
Culp, who moved to Kellogg from Spokane 11 years ago, is survived by the widow, Joy: a son, Lawrence, and a daughter, Margaret, all at the home; his mother, Mrs. Emma Culp of Spokane, and a sister, Mrs. Viola Sackett of Spokane.
Culpran ran an airplane repair shop at the Kellogg airfield in addition to his managerial duties.
Rickman, son of Mrs. Jay Miller of Smelterville, was married and had several children. Names of the widow and children were not available late last night.
The two Osburn youths disappeared a week ago Saturday when the truck driven by Crozel slid off the Enaville road near Kellogg. A third youth in the truck, 16-year-old Peter Self of Polaris, clung to a tree snag in the river until rescued by two men who heard his faint cries for help
The truck was recovered quickly, but no trace has been found of the bodies of Crozen and Stroud.
