Inquest Declines Parish Identification at Wenatchee River
County Coroner Hoxsey investigated a body found in the Columbia River near Wenatchee but could not identify it. Clothing suggested it was not Parish, who disappeared after a boat incident six weeks earlier. The body, in advanced decomposition, was turned to an undertaker. Miss Ada Treadwell leaves Cashmere after a summer school and picnic with plans for a Seattle suburb posting. Ed Richardson notes an August 17 excursion for 200 from Tacoma and Seattle with concerts in Wenatchee Chelan and Lake Chelan.
