BODY OF DAVE COLGATE
jFOUND BY SEARCHERS
The body of Dave Colgate,
j which was found by Andrew Pe
terson of Salmon Lake and re
ported to the U. S. Commissioner
Jim Adams and Fred Rohn who
were out looking for him, was
brought to town late Monday,
from Banner station.
The old man, the only pioneer
j Negro resident here, has operated
the U. S. Roadhouse on the rail
road for about 20 years, taking it
over from Albert Matson in 1929,
was 79 years old. Always courte
ous and friendly, he was well
liked in the community. The last
few years he had become almost
blind but continued to live the
lonely life of a prospector.
He was found lying alongside
his sled with his gun. All four
dogs of his faithful team stayed
with him although they had not
had food for eleven or twelve days
it is estimated. The body was
placed on the sled and pulled to
town by these dogs with the addi
tion of a leader from Fred Rohn’s
team. —
