Tragic Death Investigated in Kittrell Case
The 31 year old Montesano logger William Kittrell was found drowned in the Chehalis river boom last Thursday. He was last seen July 4 en route to Seattle to meet his father.

A Montesano boarding house servant reported a dream of murder by two men and a woman and disposal of the body in the river. Decomposition hindered definite conclusions, but officials pursue a thorough inquiry. He was buried Friday with Eagle Lodge rites.
