Hung Up on a Sand Bar
Lytton ran her nose on a sand bar at the mouth of the upper river on her down trip Friday. Heavily freighted, the crew could not free her until the Kootenai bulled her off next day after telegraphing from Trail Creek. Floods have shifted bars and blocked the old channel, grounding the boat without damage.
